Wikidata:Events/Wikidata Wahldaten Workshop 2017
- Date: Saturday, 30 September 2017, 2 pm – 6 pm
- Location: Wikimedia Österreich office, Stolzenthalergasse 7/1, 1080 Wien
What we do
[edit]Two weeks before the 
2017 Austrian legislative election, we use election data ("Wahldaten" in German) for introducing beginners to Wikidata. The workshop addresses Wikimedia adepts (like Wikipedians, Wikimedia Hackathon newbies ...) as well as election aficionados (like data journalists, election researchers, political science students ...) in particular.
It is organized by Open Knowledge Österreich – which operates offenewahlen.at – and Wikimedia Österreich. Since not all experts are German speakers, the workshop is held in English.
