| Abstract:
Since 2018, Wikidata has also stored a new type of data: words, phrases and sentences, in many languages, described in many languages. This information is stored in new types of entities, called Lexemes (L), Forms (F) and Senses (S). Lexicographical data will serve as the basis for Abstract Wikipedia's natural language generation capabilities. A few languages including Dagbani, Hausa and Igbo were selected to become focus languages for the development of this new project. This hands-on workshop will guide participants on editing the Lexicographical data namespace in their native languages, adhering to best modeling practices. |
Audience : Basic. This workshop is aimed at participants with some existing understanding of Lexemes. Even minimal prior interaction with Lexemes will be beneficial, as the workshop will not include an introductory presentation. For absolute beginner-level introduction, please see Wikidata:Events/Lexicodays_2024#See_also. | ||
