Wikimedia projects[edit]

Wikimedia logo family complete-2022

An ecosystem of about 1000 wikis

Wikipedia[edit]

Wikipedia is available in over 300 languages, together getting multiple billions of monthly page views.

Other Wikimedia projects[edit]

An example of how each of these projects has its own ways of sharing knowledge around a topic

The landscape around Wikimedia[edit]

Wikimedia's strategic direction:

"By 2030, Wikimedia will become the essential infrastructure of the ecosystem of free knowledge, and anyone who shares our vision will be able to join us."

Wikimedia for research[edit]

Wikimedia about research[edit]

Wikimedia resources relevant for research[edit]

Screenshot of Scholia topic profile for peatland as of 2023-07-10

Scholia provides about 30 types of scholarly profiles, all based on Wikidata (e.g. a person or institution)

Wikimedia for Ecology[edit]

Categories, infoboxes, identifiers, links

Media files[edit]

A carbon cycle diagram available in 18 languages

Articles[edit]

Tools like Citation Hunt assist in improving verifiability.

Structured data[edit]

Genera by number of species known to contain indolic scaffolds as of 2023-04-06

Structured data from different domains can be queried.

Statistics[edit]

Pageviews for the article Moor on the German Wikipedia from 2015-2023. See also cross-language stats.

Wikidata and Leibniz[edit]

Person[edit]

Wikidata representation of the academic tree around Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz (Q9047)   .

Organization[edit]

Wikidata context around Leibniz Association (Q680090)   .

Geographic distribution[edit]

Map of Leibniz Institutes, per this query to the Wikidata Query Service.

Opportunities for further interactions[edit]

Motivation[edit]

Wikimedia projects are already widely used in research and many other contexts
Reuse on Wikimedia projects is a great way to demonstrate Reusability of research in the FAIR sense
Wikimedia contributions can be integrated with educational activities
Five ways academics can contribute to Wikipedia

Contributing to Wikimedia projects[edit]

Listen to the edit stream:
multiple Wikipedias, Wikidata, both, recording

Contributing to Wikidata[edit]

Geolocated Wikidata items, with highlighting of changes between October 2018 and May 2019

Contributing to Wikimedia Commons[edit]

Contributing to Wikipedia[edit]

There is always room for improvement, and there are initiatives like WikiProject Climate Change or #365climateedits to address that.

Wikifying biodiversity sciences[edit]

Initiatives like WikiProject Invasion biology collaborate within a certain scope, curating entities, data models, queries and associated documentation. Sample query: Fish species by popularity in the invasion biology literature

Contextualizing invasion biology[edit]

Abstract[edit]

Wikidata is a free and open knowledge base that can be read and edited by both humans and machines.

The goal of this session is fourfold: (i) to provide participants with an overview of the coverage of scientific topics in the ecosystem around Wikipedia, with a focus on Wikidata, (ii) to outline the community processes behind the generation and curation of that content, (iii) to explore how Wikidata workflows interact with those of the researchers, particularly in Leibniz Institutes, (iv) and to highlight potential for further interactions

Examples will be drawn from various research fields, multiple institutions, and multiple languages. Diversity, equity and inclusion efforts of the Wikimedia community will be covered with an eye on similar efforts in Leibniz contexts.

Participants will be provided with possibilities to work in pairs or small groups while reviewing existing Wikidata content, making small contributions directly, reviewing examples of each other’s contributions, and laying the foundation for more comprehensive contributions that leverage the diverse expertise of attendees and their respective networks.
