With this grant, IIPSJ will create a two-year fellowship at HUSL led by a Wikimedia Race and Knowledge Equity Fellow to explore how systemic racism and injustice impacts how marginalized communities can participate in free knowledge (including in the intellectual property ecosystem), recommendations to address these gaps in knowledge, and how knowledge can be used to advance racial equity and empowerment.

知識公平性基金の第3ラウンド助成金受給者をご紹介
  • AfLIA: The African Library and Information Associations and Institutions (AfLIA) is the umbrella body for the library sector in Africa, with membership from 34 African countries. We have worked with the Wikimedia projects through initiatives like the African Librarians Week, which resulted in the Wikipedia in African Libraries course as well as a course on Wikidata which sought to assist these professionals make their information resources more visible for all. Nevertheless more work remains to be done. Firstly, this grant would enable us to revisit the Authority Control construct in Wikidata and Wikipedia. Currently, the AC template only directs readers of African content to national libraries outside the continent for ‘validation’ through the AC template; with this grant, we will create a model of how African National Libraries can create semantic Authority Control for their resources using Wikibase which can then be linked to African content on Wikidata and Wikipedia, through a collaboration with Wikimedia Deutschland. Secondly, it will allow us to coordinate virtual conversations between the African Library sector and African Wikimedians, as a pathway for promoting Wikimedia projects and activities adoption in African libraries.
