Abstract (max 300 words)

The Structured Data Across Wikimedia program (SDAW) is a a three year initiative, partially funded by a grant from the Sloan Foundation, aimed at developing systems for structured data across all Wikimedia projects. This is a follow-up to similar development that was completed on Commons as part of the previous Structured Data on Commons program. The project has three high level goals:

  1. To allow machines to recognize Wikimedia content and to suggest relationships to other Wikimedia content. We are exploring this first via the image suggestion project.
  2. To design a way to structure articles and pages to enable new content formats – such as content served in smaller, easily digestible pieces that is more accessible for readers to use and share.
  3. To give Wikimedia users a more inviting, more efficient way to search and find content, building on MediaSearch, and exploring new ways to improve search across Wikipedias using Structured Data.
How will this session be beneficial for the Turkic communities?

We hope to show how data coming from Wikidata and Wikimedia Commons can be leveraged to improve the user experience on Wikipedia, as well as talking about the possibility for your communities to join in the next deployments of the SDAW tools.
