Does that even exist? 127 00:07:32,959 --> 00:07:36,877 If so, how can we increase it, how can we strengthen it? 128 00:07:37,647 --> 00:07:39,012 And how can we onboard 129 00:07:39,012 --> 00:07:42,458 even more people in this Wikibase ecosystem? 130 00:07:43,371 --> 00:07:47,215 So what was very great during the meetup is that this topic was discussed, 131 00:07:47,215 --> 00:07:51,080 and already several ideas for actions were mentioned. 132 00:07:51,080 --> 00:07:55,430 So I'm pretty sure that over the next weeks, months, and so on, 133 00:07:55,860 --> 00:07:58,545 some of the ideas will be done. 134 00:07:59,356 --> 00:08:04,940 Yeah, we can connect even more people and have them using Wikibase. 135 00:08:10,826 --> 00:08:15,842 One thing that I really, really enjoy about these kinds of events, 136 00:08:15,842 --> 00:08:17,990 and especially in the Wikidata community, 137 00:08:17,990 --> 00:08:22,546 is all of this excitement that people have around their projects 138 00:08:22,546 --> 00:08:25,861 and all of the appreciation that they share with each other. 139 00:08:25,861 --> 00:08:30,646 So, for example, we could see both of them during the sessions yesterday evening 140 00:08:30,646 --> 00:08:33,577 during the Birthday Presents demo and during the Award Ceremony. 141 00:08:33,577 --> 00:08:35,645 It was really, really awesome to see. 142 00:08:36,611 --> 00:08:42,101 We saw plenty of new tools that we're creating to fulfill new needs. 143 00:08:42,101 --> 00:08:44,371 Maybe that emerged during the previous months, 144 00:08:44,371 --> 00:08:49,317 or old needs that we're still waiting to be solved somehow. 145 00:08:49,317 --> 00:08:53,531 And that really shows how both the Wikidata and the Wikibase communities 146 00:08:54,244 --> 00:08:56,200 are resourceful and autonomous, 147 00:08:56,200 --> 00:08:58,609 and when they see a problem, they want to solve it, 148 00:08:58,609 --> 00:09:02,240 and not only for themselves, but actually share the solution that they found 149 00:09:02,240 --> 00:09:05,421 to everyone, so they can also share their own problem. 150 00:09:07,437 --> 00:09:10,664 I really like the enthusiasm that we have during these events. 151 00:09:11,498 --> 00:09:15,643 Because people are all together, I heard some discussions like, 152 00:09:15,833 --> 00:09:17,724 "Oh, yeah, we could do this tool. 153 00:09:17,724 --> 00:09:19,615 Yeah, maybe we could do it over the weekend. 154 00:09:19,615 --> 00:09:21,851 What? No way. I can do it during the break. 155 00:09:21,851 --> 00:09:23,841 Oh, fine. Let's do it." (laughter) 156 00:09:23,841 --> 00:09:25,804 It was really, really awesome. 157 00:09:28,315 --> 00:09:34,100 And, generally, I really enjoyed that people were very cheerful 158 00:09:34,100 --> 00:09:38,680 and praising each other for the work that they've been doing 159 00:09:39,103 --> 00:09:41,474 and all the efforts that they put into their projects. 160 00:09:41,474 --> 00:09:46,382 I really think that this is an awesome culture to have 161 00:09:46,382 --> 00:09:47,861 in a community. 162 00:09:52,000 --> 00:09:56,900 But what I also liked is that during this conference 163 00:09:56,900 --> 00:09:59,940 we also tried to address some of the problems, 164 00:09:59,940 --> 00:10:05,579 and we tried to reflect a bit on the current state of the data, 165 00:10:05,579 --> 00:10:07,820 of the community, of the processes, 166 00:10:08,902 --> 00:10:15,245 and tried to find what the issues are and also some ideas for solutions. 167 00:10:15,896 --> 00:10:18,253 So we talked about data quality, of course. 168 00:10:18,646 --> 00:10:22,408 We discussed what are the different ways to measure it, 169 00:10:22,408 --> 00:10:26,045 and what are the existing and future features 170 00:10:26,045 --> 00:10:28,396 that can help improving data quality. 171 00:10:29,333 --> 00:10:34,646 We had some very interesting thoughts and reflections about how we can improve-- 172 00:10:35,105 --> 00:10:37,710 how we process and organize the data. 173 00:10:37,710 --> 00:10:40,482 Because at the same time, we want to describe even better 174 00:10:40,482 --> 00:10:42,110 the diversity of the world. 175 00:10:42,110 --> 00:10:45,870 We want to strengthen our ontologies, the way we organize the data, 176 00:10:45,870 --> 00:10:48,010 and how we classify the data. 177 00:10:49,551 --> 00:10:51,472 But we also want to acknowledge 178 00:10:51,472 --> 00:10:55,102 that the way we represent the world on Wikidata 179 00:10:55,932 --> 00:10:59,109 can be harmful by reinforcing some oppression systems, 180 00:10:59,700 --> 00:11:03,494 and we tried to highlight what are the problems 181 00:11:03,494 --> 00:11:05,812 and what needs to be improved. 182 00:11:09,709 --> 00:11:13,970 And finally, I want to thank you a thousand times 183 00:11:13,970 --> 00:11:18,402 for the super great atmosphere that we had here. 184 00:11:19,351 --> 00:11:26,220 Going to a Wikidata event, in general, feels always super great. 185 00:11:26,220 --> 00:11:28,408 But the WikidataCon, this year's WikidataCon 186 00:11:28,408 --> 00:11:31,141 is special in the sense that it was at the same time 187 00:11:31,141 --> 00:11:35,232 some kind of a family meeting feeling where you meet some faces 188 00:11:35,232 --> 00:11:37,396 that maybe you see only once a year, 189 00:11:37,396 --> 00:11:39,359 but you're super happy to see them. 190 00:11:39,359 --> 00:11:43,465 And also, at the same time, you see and meet plenty of people 191 00:11:43,465 --> 00:11:46,818 that you didn't know before, and you get to know them, 192 00:11:46,818 --> 00:11:49,910 you get to know the projects they're working on, and so on. 193 00:11:51,126 --> 00:11:55,060 So I hope that each of you both met some people 194 00:11:55,060 --> 00:11:56,212 that you already knew 195 00:11:56,212 --> 00:11:59,536 and got in touch with some new people. 196 00:12:00,863 --> 00:12:07,238 I really enjoy seeing the little ritual from the rituals 197 00:12:07,238 --> 00:12:09,495 from the Wikidata community going on. 198 00:12:09,495 --> 00:12:13,702 I'm thinking about this birthday party, Birthday Presents thing. 199 00:12:13,702 --> 00:12:17,056 Of course, the Cuteness Association, 200 00:12:17,056 --> 00:12:20,386 the plushes that are here, having their own little meetup. 201 00:12:20,386 --> 00:12:23,755 Very small things like the nail polish, all this kind of stuff. 202 00:12:23,755 --> 00:12:26,377 It looks kind of inside jokey, nerdy, 203 00:12:26,377 --> 00:12:29,199 but it's been actually shared with all of you. 204 00:12:29,199 --> 00:12:32,020 And at the same time, I see every one of you 205 00:12:32,020 --> 00:12:34,629 making the effort of including more people, 206 00:12:34,629 --> 00:12:36,749 because that was the case at this conference-- 207 00:12:36,749 --> 00:12:40,602 we also had people who are not yet part of the Wikidata community, 208 00:12:40,602 --> 00:12:43,144 and I actually hope that they feel a bit more 209 00:12:43,144 --> 00:12:45,178 like inside a community right now 210 00:12:45,178 --> 00:12:49,536 and, in general, embracing all the diversity 211 00:12:49,536 --> 00:12:53,670 of this Wikidata plus Wikibase ecosystem. 212 00:12:55,376 --> 00:12:58,428 From an organization team perspective, 213 00:12:58,428 --> 00:13:02,189 I want to thank you for-- how to say this-- 214 00:13:02,189 --> 00:13:05,599 letting us the space to actually experiment on things. 215 00:13:05,599 --> 00:13:08,571 Some of you may be super used to Wikimedia events 216 00:13:08,571 --> 00:13:09,894 or conferences in general, 217 00:13:09,894 --> 00:13:12,986 and I really appreciated the fact that you were always super positive 218 00:13:12,986 --> 00:13:14,963 when we tried some new things, 219 00:13:14,963 --> 00:13:18,051 when something didn't work exactly as expected. 220 00:13:19,235 --> 00:13:22,705 You've been super understanding and positive, 221 00:13:22,705 --> 00:13:24,654 so I really, really loved that. 222 00:13:25,359 --> 00:13:30,302 And, in general, I think and also heard from many, many of you 223 00:13:30,302 --> 00:13:35,565 that people here have been very, very kind, and helpful, and supportive, 224 00:13:36,157 --> 00:13:38,026 and super laid back. 225 00:13:38,737 --> 00:13:41,103 So I wanted to thank you for that. 226 00:13:44,402 --> 00:13:48,403 So, I think that was it for a very short wrap-up 227 00:13:48,403 --> 00:13:50,737 of what happened during the conference. 228 00:13:50,737 --> 00:13:53,485 If you want to know more, if you want to get more into details, 229 00:13:53,485 --> 00:13:58,696 you can definitely go and watch the videos of the sessions, 230 00:13:58,936 --> 00:14:00,488 look at the documentation, and so on. 231 00:14:00,488 --> 00:14:02,583 I will show you the link later. 232 00:14:02,583 --> 00:14:05,590 But for now, I'm going to welcome Raya, 233 00:14:05,590 --> 00:14:09,352 who's going to present a bit what happened during this workshop 234 00:14:09,352 --> 00:14:11,604 about the future of Wikidata. 235 00:14:12,833 --> 00:14:14,433 Thank you, Léa. 236 00:14:14,833 --> 00:14:16,383 And welcome everyone. 237 00:14:16,383 --> 00:14:21,184 So you saw that workshop probably in the program yesterday at 4 p.m. 238 00:14:21,572 --> 00:14:23,928 It was called Envisioning Wikidata in the Future 239 00:14:23,928 --> 00:14:26,853 and Creating Idea Concepts in an Interactive Session. 240 00:14:26,853 --> 00:14:28,977 And it was really interactive. 241 00:14:28,977 --> 00:14:32,891 You can see the agenda here, so it was a lot about brainstorming, 242 00:14:32,891 --> 00:14:35,962 idea generation, and then also prototyping. 243 00:14:35,962 --> 00:14:38,707 And I would like to present what came out of that. 244 00:14:41,029 --> 00:14:42,578 So the focus 245 00:14:42,578 --> 00:14:44,720 and the brainstorming question that we had 246 00:14:44,720 --> 00:14:47,848 was how can we support the creation of more diverse 247 00:14:47,848 --> 00:14:50,301 and underrepresented knowledge. 248 00:14:50,627 --> 00:14:52,829 We have talked about that a lot at this conference, 249 00:14:52,829 --> 00:14:55,462 and this is also why we took that topic. 250 00:14:55,462 --> 00:14:57,833 Also from Wikimedia Germany, we're looking into that. 251 00:14:57,833 --> 00:15:02,326 But, of course, we're very interested what the community, what their ideas, 252 00:15:02,326 --> 00:15:04,545 and from all of you what the ideas would be. 253 00:15:06,295 --> 00:15:09,770 So there were 14 participants in four groups 254 00:15:09,770 --> 00:15:14,212 working under different items of the agenda that you have seen. 255 00:15:14,212 --> 00:15:16,894 So there were some silent brainstorming sessions, 256 00:15:16,894 --> 00:15:19,230 there was some sharing, clustering, 257 00:15:19,230 --> 00:15:21,921 and then, in the end, there was the prototyping. 258 00:15:24,090 --> 00:15:26,840 These are some of the ideas. 259 00:15:26,840 --> 00:15:30,085 So just that we get an impression that there's a lot. 260 00:15:30,085 --> 00:15:32,523 So the idea was that everybody writes down 261 00:15:32,523 --> 00:15:34,447 everything that comes to their mind. 262 00:15:34,447 --> 00:15:37,744 And then, for the prototyping-- to prototype their favorite idea. 263 00:15:38,298 --> 00:15:43,115 We saw several things that were related to UI/UX things. 264 00:15:43,115 --> 00:15:48,850 So thinking that it probably would help to make the user experience easier, 265 00:15:48,850 --> 00:15:51,987 so that would also help others to get into that. 266 00:15:52,296 --> 00:15:56,843 But we're also seeing that it was about structural issues that were there. 267 00:15:57,184 --> 00:16:03,349 And also we're looking at how to include oral citations or videos. 268 00:16:03,349 --> 00:16:06,896 So there were several ideas into different directions. 269 00:16:09,332 --> 00:16:12,702 Then, in the end, the four groups presented the prototypes. 270 00:16:12,702 --> 00:16:17,710 And I have now the difficult task to tell all of you 271 00:16:17,710 --> 00:16:18,890 what they have represented, 272 00:16:18,890 --> 00:16:20,920 and I hope I do that correctly. 273 00:16:20,920 --> 00:16:24,094 If not, please comment in the notes of this session. 274 00:16:25,987 --> 00:16:28,114 This is what I at least took from it 275 00:16:28,114 --> 00:16:32,701 and, hopefully, together with Jan discuss that and hope that this fits. 276 00:16:32,887 --> 00:16:35,298 So we had the idea that-- 277 00:16:36,058 --> 00:16:38,495 One of the groups had the idea 278 00:16:38,495 --> 00:16:41,476 that there should be diverse topic challenges 279 00:16:41,476 --> 00:16:44,039 and also including leaderboards. 280 00:16:44,039 --> 00:16:46,581 So the ideas is that there could be challenges 281 00:16:46,581 --> 00:16:48,477 that draw the attention from other people. 282 00:16:48,477 --> 00:16:52,214 So, for example, fashion data is probably not so much represented 283 00:16:52,214 --> 00:16:53,819 at Wikidata at the moment. 284 00:16:53,819 --> 00:16:58,302 So there could be a challenge to add more fashion designers, for example. 285 00:16:59,122 --> 00:17:01,585 And then that could be also combined with a leaderboard 286 00:17:01,585 --> 00:17:04,449 that, yes, has a bit of a challenging thing, 287 00:17:04,449 --> 00:17:07,525 and who is the competitor here? 288 00:17:07,525 --> 00:17:10,218 But on the other hand, also to see who's interested in that topic, 289 00:17:10,218 --> 00:17:13,127 and that could also support the networking, 290 00:17:13,518 --> 00:17:16,669 and that people know, "Ah, there's this person interested in that topic. 291 00:17:16,669 --> 00:17:19,813 So let's work on these things together and improve on that." 292 00:17:20,253 --> 00:17:24,314 So we got from that that this was really a gamification idea 293 00:17:24,782 --> 00:17:28,596 and how we can make these things that we see in other gaming. 294 00:17:28,596 --> 00:17:31,748 Also, show social networking things 295 00:17:31,748 --> 00:17:34,171 that we could maybe include this. 296 00:17:36,293 --> 00:17:41,672 Another idea was an easy creation of a Wikibase instance and ontology 297 00:17:41,672 --> 00:17:43,760 for underrepresented knowledge 298 00:17:43,760 --> 00:17:48,294 so that people could create a new Wikibase instance in the community, 299 00:17:48,294 --> 00:17:50,932 for the community that is not represented. 300 00:17:50,932 --> 00:17:52,873 And it should be as easy as on the left side-- 301 00:17:52,873 --> 00:17:56,228 to just click and say, "Yeah, now this is my Wikibase instance." 302 00:17:57,035 --> 00:18:00,776 And then create an ontology based on fluid ontologies 303 00:18:00,776 --> 00:18:03,303 that can also be extended by the community, 304 00:18:03,749 --> 00:18:06,945 and then also annotate existing web content 305 00:18:06,945 --> 00:18:10,283 to include it this way into your instance. 306 00:18:11,233 --> 00:18:13,416 As I said, I hope I got that correctly. 307 00:18:13,416 --> 00:18:15,671 If not, please comment on that. 308 00:18:17,564 --> 00:18:21,673 Another idea was called a bit in the end-- Reasonator on Steroids. 309 00:18:22,298 --> 00:18:26,359 So the idea to say, "Bringing our projects together on one page." 310 00:18:26,359 --> 00:18:29,184 So at the moment, all of the different Wikimedia projects 311 00:18:29,184 --> 00:18:30,279 have their own pages. 312 00:18:30,279 --> 00:18:32,061 They need to be edited in a certain way, 313 00:18:32,061 --> 00:18:35,371 and that's obviously difficult for newcomers 314 00:18:35,371 --> 00:18:37,413 and also people in different communities 315 00:18:37,413 --> 00:18:40,515 that they would just edit in one of the projects. 316 00:18:40,515 --> 00:18:44,696 And so the idea is to have widgets, as you can see here on that side, 317 00:18:44,696 --> 00:18:46,693 coming from the different projects. 318 00:18:46,693 --> 00:18:49,325 So it could be images, and maps, also videos. 319 00:18:49,325 --> 00:18:51,602 Also, the kind of medium should be different, 320 00:18:51,602 --> 00:18:53,356 how it is represented. 321 00:18:53,356 --> 00:18:56,791 And then this way, you have all the different ways 322 00:18:56,791 --> 00:18:58,580 to contribute on one page, 323 00:18:58,761 --> 00:19:03,380 which could also make it easier for others to represent another [chair]. 324 00:19:05,075 --> 00:19:09,214 And then, we had an idea or more a concept that said, 325 00:19:09,387 --> 00:19:12,384 "Let's wait before we jump into solutions and tools. 326 00:19:12,384 --> 00:19:16,424 We should understand non-Western knowledge better." 327 00:19:16,424 --> 00:19:20,108 Because currently, our Wikidata has a lot of fact-oriented data. 328 00:19:21,289 --> 00:19:23,792 Maybe people need more practical data. 329 00:19:23,792 --> 00:19:29,390 So the structure of the data that we have is also a problem. 330 00:19:29,390 --> 00:19:31,210 So before we are thinking about tools, 331 00:19:31,210 --> 00:19:33,517 we need to understand from the local communities 332 00:19:33,924 --> 00:19:36,322 what kind of knowledge has helped them in the past, 333 00:19:36,322 --> 00:19:40,770 and then ask them, "How can we help you to transport your knowledge?" 334 00:19:40,770 --> 00:19:43,365 And this way, from learning from that, 335 00:19:43,365 --> 00:19:46,680 then understand better how this knowledge can be included. 336 00:19:48,774 --> 00:19:52,400 I think that's it already, yeah. (chuckles) 337 00:19:52,400 --> 00:19:54,917 (applause) 338 00:19:58,983 --> 00:20:00,719 (Léa) Than you very much, Raya. 339 00:20:01,975 --> 00:20:05,795 So, otherwise, as I was telling you earlier, 340 00:20:05,795 --> 00:20:12,302 if you want to watch or rewatch maybe one of the sessions of the conference, 341 00:20:12,622 --> 00:20:16,872 everything that took place in Kleist, Kepler, and Einstein 342 00:20:16,872 --> 00:20:20,795 is or will be very soon available on this link 343 00:20:20,795 --> 00:20:26,625 that I will, obviously, share everywhere on all the social networks that I watch. 344 00:20:29,526 --> 00:20:32,455 Feel free to share it, of course, with other people. 345 00:20:32,459 --> 00:20:36,392 And I also wanted to mention that in the next weeks and months 346 00:20:36,392 --> 00:20:40,947 we will try to add subtitles-- first in English and then, hopefully, 347 00:20:40,947 --> 00:20:42,014 in other languages. 348 00:20:42,014 --> 00:20:44,051 And also, we will make sure 349 00:20:44,051 --> 00:20:47,061 that if you also want to contribute with translation, 350 00:20:47,061 --> 00:20:50,085 you will be able to translate these titles 351 00:20:50,085 --> 00:20:54,791 to make the content of this conference even more accessible to the outside world 352 00:20:54,791 --> 00:20:59,476 and to people who aren't necessarily super comfortable with English. 353 00:21:02,230 --> 00:21:04,241 Now, documentation. 354 00:21:04,419 --> 00:21:06,671 Documentation-- yeah, I know-- 355 00:21:07,305 --> 00:21:11,117 it's an effort that everyone should make, ideally. 356 00:21:11,117 --> 00:21:13,066 After the conference, it's going to be the moment 357 00:21:13,066 --> 00:21:15,833 where we're going to try to gather all the things. 358 00:21:16,403 --> 00:21:19,701 What you can do to help is if you're a speaker 359 00:21:19,701 --> 00:21:23,720 and you didn't add your slides on Commons yet, please do so 360 00:21:23,720 --> 00:21:28,526 and also link them from the session speech on Wiki. 361 00:21:28,863 --> 00:21:30,549 There's a category for that. 362 00:21:31,359 --> 00:21:35,672 You can, of course, upload the pictures that you took on Commons. 363 00:21:35,672 --> 00:21:38,776 Please mind, of course, the photo policy that we already presented. 364 00:21:39,347 --> 00:21:41,264 Again, there's a category for that. 365 00:21:41,264 --> 00:21:45,329 And feel free also, when you come back home, 366 00:21:45,329 --> 00:21:49,694 to write about your experience at the conference 367 00:21:49,694 --> 00:21:52,986 and especially what you enjoyed or what were your own highlights 368 00:21:52,986 --> 00:21:54,404 of the conference. 369 00:21:54,855 --> 00:21:59,189 And if you're writing, I don't know, reviews, blog posts, scholarly articles-- 370 00:21:59,189 --> 00:22:00,564 all kinds of things, 371 00:22:01,227 --> 00:22:05,824 help us collecting them all, so we have a list of all the things. 372 00:22:06,516 --> 00:22:09,936 I put the link here, but that's basically the page-- Documentation-- 373 00:22:09,936 --> 00:22:14,822 that is on the link from the main page of the WikidataCon on Wiki. 374 00:22:14,822 --> 00:22:16,566 So you can find it easily. 375 00:22:16,773 --> 00:22:22,026 And with all this documentation collected, don't forget to share it around you, 376 00:22:22,026 --> 00:22:26,088 and especially if you come back to a local Wikimedia community, 377 00:22:26,088 --> 00:22:30,435 or to an organization, or such group. 378 00:22:32,247 --> 00:22:35,787 Tell the others about what you did during the conference 379 00:22:35,787 --> 00:22:39,443 and share with them all this documentation that we prepared together. 380 00:22:43,099 --> 00:22:47,566 Now, another boring topic but not that
