Agenda

1. Brief intro to wikidata and the wikiverse
   1. Overview of relationship between wikidata/wikicite/wikibase/scholia/wikipedia ( wikiverse as it pertains to semantic data )
   2. Overview of usages for wikidata
   3. Overview of wikicite in wikidata
   4. Internationalization in wikidata ( i18n )
2. Overview of semantic capabilities for these tools
   1. SPARQL query builder - https://query.wikidata.org/
3. Brief overview of WD semantics
4. Daniel's interest in VIVO

6. Next steps/actions ( strawman ideas ) Vivo <-> WD ontology mapping
   1. Publication data as a potential joint project
      1. Identifying actual sources of data in wikidata - Eg - attribution of the data source
      2. Usage of triple-pattern-fragment endpoint in VIVO and perhaps wikidata
      3. Rules for vivo <->
         • Attribution
         • Data must be CC0
   2. Country data as a potential joint project - replace FAO data
      1. Simplify VIVO data
      2. Timely updates via Wikimedia process
   3. Potential future projects ( VIVO depth in humanities, grants, advising )

Brief intro to wikidata and the wikiverse

• Wikipedia - editable encyclopedia
• Wikidata - editable database
• Vision: “Imagine a world in which every single human being can freely share in the sum of all knowledge.” ( in their native language )
  • Mike - in wikis in other languages - are there issues with governments wanting to write a history?
    • Daniel - yes, eg wars, battles all have different perspectives. So this also includes individual bias’ from the local authors, editors
• If you setup your own mediawiki page you can add with one line artifacts from wikimedia commons
  • media files from Wikimedia Commons can be transcluded into other MediaWiki instances
• Components of architecture: http://wikiba.se/
• What ontologies are used in the wikibase?
  • Shared data model
  • Ontologies are open
• WikiCite
• Scholia
  • Overlapping project with VIVO: Scholia
  • Presentation layer for wikidata information for bibliographic data

Overview of semantic capabilities for these tools

Daniel's interest in VIVO

• Open workflows around collaborative curation
• JROST: Interest in sharing roadmaps for open science tooling
  • Open scholarly profiles

Next Steps

• Leverage wikidata related to publications
• Use institutional vivos to record position information on wikidata - eg person x was employed at institution from start date to end date
• Use wikidata to help co-author networks - because an institution curates it’s own authors but not authors at other orgs - wikidata can be used for this
• Vivo’s have current employees typically - wikidata can reference scholarly records for people that are no longer employed or deceased.

Identify test cases:

• Content in VIVO vis-a-vis Wikidata
  • What workflows could be used to sync between the two?
• Signed statements
  • Wikidata statements can be signed as coming from a VIVO authority
• Scholia
  • Visualize VIVO conference in Scholia
    • For some inspiration, see https://tools.wmflabs.org/scholia/event/Q55117737
