The Data Reuse Days are a series of gatherings taking place from March 14th to 24th, 2022, focusing on Wikidata data reuse and reusers. With presentations, discussions, editing sprints and more, the main goal of this event is to provide a space to bring together anyone interested in the topic of re-using Wikidata’s data. This means for example:
to gather people who reuse Wikidata’s data (on products, apps, websites, research, etc.) in order to understand better what they are building and what their needs and wishes regarding Wikidata’s data and technical infrastructure are
to bring together data reusers and data editors to talk about issues, wishes and common efforts, so each group can hear the other’s point of view on things to improve (data quality, ontologies, etc.)
to onboard developers who want to build applications on top of Wikidata’s data, as well as editors from other Wikimedia projects
How to participate?
This initiative is open to everyone who's interested in reusing Wikidata's data. As a first step, you can add yourself to the list of participants. On this page, you will find an overview of the schedule and resources to get started.
Documentation of the sessions
Did you miss a session or do you want to check some details of a session you attended? You have several ways to find the content of the events:
Discussions and questions about the event will take place on this talk page. Some announcements regarding the sessions will be done on the Wikidata Telegram group. Please note that if important discussions or decisions are happening during the event, they should probably be summarized somewhere on-wiki so it is transparent for community members who can't join the event or are not on Telegram. If you have any question or need support (for example, to schedule and organize a session), feel free to contact Lea Lacroix (WMDE) directly (lea.lacroixwikimedia.de or @Auregann on Telegram).
Please note that the entire initiative, including the presentations and discussions on various channels, is covered by the Code of Conduct for technical spaces. Please contribute in making the discussion spaces safe and welcoming for everyone.
A short list of sessions will be recorded, the status is indicated on the session page. For all sessions, we encourage you to help take notes on this Etherpad.
The proposal phase for sessions is now closed, it is not possible to add new sessions anymore.
