Abstract (max 300 words)

Lexeme is the name for the lexicographical layer of Wikidata, that is, the features for documenting words in Wikidata. Now is an exciting opportunity to document Turkic languages with structured data, in a more precise and high-quality way than Wiktionary ever provided, and which will enable a lot of innovative uses. This workshop will walk you through how to contribute to documenting your own language, both manually and using some tools.


How will this session be beneficial for the Turkic communities?

The sooner Turkic communities embrace Lexeme, the sooner Turkic languages, many of them under cultural pressure from larger/imperial languages, can enable innovative tools for education and reference in their languages.
