ONLINE SESSION ON WIKIBASE ... an invite from Alan Ang, Georgina Burnett
and team via the Wikipedians of Goa User Group: 2022 marks the tenth
birthday of Wikidata and Wikibase, the software powering Wikidata. Join us,
as we introduce the community to Wikibase as well as our upcoming product,
Wikibase.cloud, and learn how they complement the Wikimedia movement’s
Linked Open Data vision.
About Wikibase
Wikibase is an open-source software developed by Wikimedia Deutschland, the
German chapter of the international Wikimedia movement, for creating
customisable collaborative knowledge bases. It powers Wikidata, and an
increasing number of other projects, connecting the knowledge of people and
organisations, enabling them to open their linked data to the world.
With Wikibase, users can create and manage their own linked knowledge
bases. Its flexibility and multilingual labelling allows users to build
their own data model for multi-user collaboration. Like on Wikidata, users
can interact with their data using SPARQL, a powerful query language. It is
ideal for projects with machine and human readable data.
For more information and showcases, see Wikiba.se.

*Georgina Burnett* <georgina.burnett(a)wikimedia.de> works in the software
development department at Wikimedia Deutschland, the German chapter of the
Wikimedia movement.
Together with some colleagues, she is looking to talk to user groups about
Wikibase. She explains: "Wikibase is an open-source and free software that
we develop and maintain in our software development department. It was
originally developed to run Wikidata, but increasingly, it is being used by
institutions to manage, maintain and connect their own data. We'd love to
see Wikibase be used around the world, so we're keen to connect with local
Wikimedians in India to talk about the project."
She asked our Wikipedians of Goa User Group if they could deliver an
introductory presentation at one of our meetings or events, adding: "We'd
love to explore the project in more detail together with you, and answer
any questions you have."
The meeting is fixed for Thu 2 Jun 2022 5:30pm – 6:15pm (IST). If you'd
like to join, please get in touch. fredericknoronha2(a)gmail.com WhatsApp:

Dear Wikimedians,
Greetings for the coming Holi!
CIS-A2K is glad to share this update with you. We have started developing
partnerships with various institutions in the North East region of India
since 2019. We conceptualised the GLAM project with an organization
named *Research
Institute of World's Ancient Traditions, Cultures and Heritage* (RIWATCH),
a non-profit research and community based organisation in Arunachal Pradesh
during the year 2020 and proposed it in our 2020-21 plan. But due to the
pandemic, the process was delayed. We have launched a GLAM-Wiki project
with RIWATCH from March 2022 in collaboration with the West Bengal
Wikimedians User Group, which will be helping in coordination and execution
of this project. A Wikimedian in Residence has been assigned at RIWATCH to
document, organize and upload the data and content of the rich collection
of the institute focusing on the oral traditions, language and culture of
different tribes in Arunachal Pradesh. The orientation and planning
meetings were conducted with RIWATCH members and a local tribal
organisation named Idu Mishmi Cultural & Literary Society to develop the
GLAM project. After the training of WiR, the GLAM work on Wikimedia Commons
has already been started. The details can be seen here - Commons category

and GLAM project page <https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:RIWATCH>
.
We welcome your suggestions.
Regards,
Subodh & Bodhisattwa
on behalf of CIS-A2K and West Bengal Wikimedians User Group (respectively)
