11:30 – 12:00 | ![]() We'll be discussing a proposed schema for detailed tagging of bicycle lane protection. We'll talk about how to improve the proposal and how to use it in practice. By promoting better data on bicycle ways, we won't just help cyclists pick the safest route - we'll help city planners across the country and the world create better cities. Facilitator: Taylor Reich |
![]() In this session, EFF researchers will explain some of the common surveillance technologies, then work with attendees to submit more data through our "Report Back" tool, which assigns micro research assignments to volunteers and students. Facilitators: Dave Maass, Beryl Lipton and Paul Tepper |
TBC | ![]() Wikimedians in Indiana would like to use the occasion of WCNA to announce the formation of a new prospective user group, Wikimedia Indiana—currently being reviewed by the Affiliations Committee for affiliate status. This new group, led by several longtime Wikipedians active in the GLAM space, has been kickstarted by work centered on IUPUI University Library in Indianapolis and its many community partners. We are a small group, but we have already held several events and training in the past few months and would like to share our successes and invite others to collaborate. In 2022, Indiana University–Purdue University Indianapolis received a grant from the Central Indiana Community Foundation (CICF) Library Fund to increase public participation in Indiana's history and cultural heritage by implementing two inter-related projects: 1.) contributing images to Wikimedia Commons from Indiana cultural heritage sites that take part in the Indiana Memory Project and 2.) fostering a community of Wikipedia contributors in Indiana with a campaign of public programs, training, and other outreach. Launched in June, the project has already resulted in over 10,000 uploads to Wikimedia Commons from 3 Indiana cultural institutions, 2 editathons (with 2 more scheduled on Nov. 1), 6 successful DYKs, and staff training at multiple local cultural institutions. With this core, funded project in motion, Wikimedians are invigorating a new community in Indiana with the hope that it can sustain activity and grow beyond the university library. During this presentation, we will discuss the Wikimedia community in Indiana, the state of the IUPUI project, the grant process, and advice from the team on starting new initiatives in areas of the country without much activity. The proposed session will also look to the project's future and discuss how the rest of the Wikimedia community, anywhere in North America, can help the effort. Facilitators: Dominic Byrd-McDevitt, Jere Odell, Jamie Flood |
12:00 – 13:00 | ![]() View it! is a user script and Toolforge-hosted media search tool to show Wikimedia users (editors and readers) Wikimedia Commons depicting– or otherwise related to– the article they are viewing. View it! helps editors easily find and add relevant items to a given Wikimedia page and can be used across all Wikimedia projects and language versions. The tool allows users access to the full catalog of relevant, tagged images on Wikimedia Commons vs the finite, highly curated images you may find on a Wikipedia article or Wikidata item. View it! has refined its search capabilities and now offers a standard and advanced search option. The team will walk attendees through View it!'s capabilities and structured data usage and discuss the user interface's final manifestation. We will show how results have changed throughout the development process and discuss ways View it! has been found helpful by early adopters. View it! is currently available for installation, and we will discuss our efforts for language localization—and invite participants to install and provide feedback for the team. | |||
13:00 – 13:45 | ![]() Come with examples of things you aren't sure about how to tag in OpenStreetMap. Try to stump us with the gnarliest edge cases and most blatant gaps in our tagging system that you can think of. The rest of us will try our best to suggest a tag – or five. Afterwards, we'll put together a list of what we're stumped on and post it to a wider forum for ideas. Facilitator: Minh Nguyễn |
TBC | ![]() Listen to presentations from two educators, Jamie Dickinson & Celeste Reynolds on using OpenStreetMap in the Classroom, followed by a discussion for those sharing an interest in open mapping in education. The discussion is open but should focus on what the project needs to do to identify and remove obstacles to adoption by a broader community of educators in a broader variety of institutions. This could include new tools, tactics, and techniques to assist uptake by students of all stripes. Facilitator: Steven Johnson (TeachOSM) |

14:30 – 15:15 | ![]() Catskill Park is a popular tourist destination for people in New York state, and some OSMers have been there, it would be nice to make the map look better than what's on a trail map! There's already an OSM Tasking Manager task of it, which I will share during the session. Facilitator: Attila Kun |
![]() During this session, we aim to discuss the impact of technology on collective memory and to explore how open source platforms are increasingly becoming the dominant way to remember past atrocities. Similarly, this session is intended to broaden our understanding of how platforms such as Wikipedia can ensure that what happened in the past is not forgotten and become a primary vehicle for collective memory. Facilitator: Valentina Vera-Quiroz |
![]() In this panel, three Wiki Education staff (Senior Program Manager, Wikipedia Student Program Helaine Blumenthal, Senior Wikipedia Expert Ian Ramjohn, and Chief Programs Officer LiAnna Davis) will explain how we successfully bring 12,000 new editors to the English Wikipedia each year through our Wikipedia Student Program. We'll cover:
We'll focus on how we've scaled up our impact, from supporting 200 students initially to routinely supporting 12,000 student editors and growing. People who attend this session can expect to learn how Wiki Education harnesses the power of technical tools like the Dashboard, Salesforce, and Pardot to scale the impact of our program. Participants are encouraged to ask questions and learn more about how Wiki Education works! Facilitators: LiAnna Davis, Helaine Blumenthal, Ian Ramjohn |
![]() Wiki99 as the canon for global discourse presents:
Wiki99 identifies the 99 most important topics for a broad subject and stages those topics so that humans and Wikimedia tools can more easily review and development them can more easily develop them. A consequence of this project is the establishment of a global canon of essential information which everyone in a field, regardless of geography, culture, or language, must know. After briefly presenting the technology, we discuss the social and ethical issues which arise from the establishment of canonical lists. Keeping with the theme of the conference, we propose the establishment of Wiki99 projects as a way to invoke Cunningham's Law to recruit open knowledge allies to correct the global canonical lists. To ensure that everyone in the world has access to basic information on LGBT studies, Wiki99/LGBT+ asserts that 3 of the 99 essential topics to translate are LGBT, >sexual orientation, and same-sex marriage. Facilitator: Lane Rasberry |
15:15 – 16:00 | ![]() Wikifunctions is a new Wikimedia project we are working on with the goal of allowing a community to create and maintain a library of functions. The main goal of Wikifunctions is to support the creation of Abstract Wikipedia, a Wikipedia where the content is created and maintained only once, but can be read in any of the more than 300 languages Wikipedia supports, and can be edited in any of those languages. But Wikifunctions explicitly aims for a wider goal: to provide a library of functions for many different use cases. Functions answer questions. And as such, functions are an integral part of knowledge for a modern world. Besides the functions necessary to support the goals of Abstract Wikipedia, i.e. functions which allow for natural language generation, we envision also to support functions for other domains. Maps and geographical data provide a rich environment for the application of functions. We will be able to use functions in order to ensure constraints on the geographical data in Wikidata or in projects such as OpenStreetMaps, or to use the data in novel ways and thus also to encourage the creation of more data. Wikidata has still large gaps regarding for example historical maps of former countries, distribution maps of species, or for describing the geographical extension of climates or ecosystems. In this talk we will present Wikifunctions, the current state of the project, and the plans regarding Abstract Wikipedia. We will also present some possibilities regarding how geodata can be used and leveraged with Wikifunctions, in order to start a conversation with the community, collect ideas and to see how interesting certain use cases might be. More information about Wikifunctions and Abstract Wikipedia can be found here: Previous presentations and articles about the project can be found here: Facilitator: Denny Vrandečić |
![]() This double session will include the talks:
Presenter/Facilitator: Rosie Stephenson-Goodknight | ||
16:00 – 17:00 | ![]() Wikidata turns 10 at the end of October, 2022. There is a map of global activities. We can have a little online celebration, with quick talks and demos and commentary. It's not organized yet, but several speakers/demonstrators have materials to show: Minh Nguyen on how OpenStreetMap uses Wikidata information (and perhaps future prospects). Possible sources:
Other resources include Andrew Lih, on many projects, Highlight of training materials from the regular Philadelphia WikiSalon, Pharos and econterms on a demo project on Wikispore showing data on nonprofit organizations drawn from Wikidata.Room for more. We can actually sponsor a cake or something, but we have the problem that we are not all physically together. Facilitator: Peter Meyer |
