A wikidata workshop organised at SUPSI in Switzerland 6-9 February 2017. This workshop is developed in the frame of the project Wikipedia Primary School.
Overall question How to identify knowledge gaps on the Wikimedia projects?
- which knowledge is missing on the wikimedia projects from Africa?
- which knowledge is missing from the South African primary school curriculum (please refer to our selection of articles/topics)?
Hypothesis
- Wikidata is the best tool to trace what is available on the wikimedia projects.
- By comparing data from wikidata and other data it is possible to define the knowledge gaps on the wikimedia projects.
Outcome Visualisation of a knowledge gaps in the wikimedia projects.
Skills to gain during the workshop:
- uploading content on Wikidata
- extrapolating data from Wikidata
- confronting data from Wikidata and other databases
- visualizations based on Wikidata
