Notes[edit]

  • Éder is a mathematician, software developer & graphic designer
  • Presentation today based on chapter published in Wikipedia and Academic Libraries: A Global Project [[Q107609044]]: https://en.wikisource.org/wiki/Wikipedia_and_Academic_Libraries:_A_Global_Project/Chapter_17
  • Introduction:
    • Lay out context of what challenge they are trying to overcome (putting journal articles on Wikidata)
    • Discrepancy in the amount of citations between Global North (investment in research and academic communities) versus Global South
    • In Brazil, only 77% of museums & 75% of libraries  have access to Internet; while 98% of US libraries have Internet access.
    • In Brazil, most of GLAM institutions have 1-2 employees and small budget.
    • Investment in cultural institutions by Brazilian federal government has been decreasing since 2019 due to a new administration. Annual budget laws: https://w.wiki/4Q45
  • Objective of project: Motivate Global South and underrepresented communities in the large-scale deposit of scholarly articles into Wikidata
  • Challenges:
    • Global North is well served with metadata structure while Global South operates ad hoc.
    • Article references in Wikipedia can be difficult as they are language dependent. (CiteQ template trying to address this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:Cite_Q)
  • Sources on Wikimedia projects
    • Showed two charts showing number of scholarly articles on Wikidata at two different periods of time
  • Context: Chose to work with historical journal in Brazil: Anais do Museu Paulista ( published since 1922)
  • Importing Scholarly Articles into Wikidata via Zotero
    • 8 steps for importing process
  1. Download Zotero
  2. Import a set of articles into Zotero
  3. Create an account on Wikimedia Projects
  4. Download, install, and setup QuickStatements translator
  5. Check for duplicates in Wikidata
  6. Upload to Wikidata via QuickStatements
  7. Check Completeness of Item Properties using Wikidata Query Service
  8. Add the “Journal of Publication” statement using PetScan
  • Authors & references not added by Zotero translator
  • Data Visualization
    • Scholia profile for the Anais do Museu Paulista: https://scholia.toolforge.org/venue/Q50426299
    • Once this work is done, able to see more information in Scholia profile, such as the co-author graph, number of pages, etc.
    • This is a visible benefit for importing articles into Wikidata that isn’t available anywhere else

Questions[edit]

  • Did you attempt to put a lot of articles into Wikidata manually before embarking on project?
    1. A: Began process as it was experimental; developed methodology as they progressed and this process was born.
  • How about the authors’ information? Did you add authors and affiliations to Wikidata?
    1. A: In terms of authors’ citation and place of publication, this is a match problem that Zotero doesn’t have the means to solve, so first created articles and then worked with author and citation values afterwards.
  • What was the size of the data set?
    1. A: Was 552 articles from the journal. He uploads recently published articles at the end of the year.
  • Do you know if many of the articles that you are interested in have DOIs?
    1. All of the items have DOIs. Not only in Gobal South but also North, it’s a problem that sometimes articles don’t have identifiers. Unfortunately, Zotero only searches for 4 identifiers: DOIs, arXiv, PMIDs, ISBNs. If they didn’t have identifiers, have to add them one-by-one.
  • Is it possible to download the metadata from SciELO in bulk for this or other journals?
    1. Articles are stored in SciELO and sounds like it would be a good option.
  • Éder demonstrated a live upload
