Title:
- Introduction to Structured Data on Commons
Theme:
- Tech & Tools
Type of session:
- Workshop
Abstract:
The Wikimedia Foundation has deploying features to Wikimedia Commons since Spring 2019 as part of the development of the Structured Data on Commons project, that was funded by the Sloan Foundation in 2016. This major software change to Wikimedia Commons allows for users to describe files on Wikimedia commons with Wikidata-style statements, allowing for the potential of a number of long asked for features on commons, including multi-lingual equivalents to categories, simple APIs for sharing, retrieving and modifying metadata, and multilingual search. At the time of writing, nearly 2 millions files on Commons utilized some form of structured data on them, and we are beginning to see increased adoption.
In this session, I will introduce the core functionalities of the Structured Data on Commons software (including descriptions, adding statements to files, and search keywords in Commons Search) and will demonstrate emerging volunteer built tools that help you manipulate the data (ISA, AC/DC, and Magnus’s SDC tool, and others if they become available). The workshop is designed to be hands on, so will include a number of small actions that everyone can participate in.
Moreover, I will share a brief introduction to future of structured data on Wikimedia Commons and the anticipated applications and uses of the features.
