Wikidata for Digital Humanities
No full text<p>The Wikidata for Digital Humanities workshop offered attendees an opportunity to learn about Wikidata — an open platform of structured linked data. This crowdsourced, language-independent knowledge base stores a wide range of subjects and releases its data under an open license, allowing their reuse. The low barrier for interacting with the Wikidata platform makes it a great candidate for linked open data (LOD) representation and facilitates collaboration from the global community of users. The session provided an overview of Wikidata as well as selected tools and services that can be used to explore, contribute, and export data.</p>

Contributing to the Representation of Women Artists in Wikidata
No full textPresentation given at the 2019 MCN (Museum Computer Network) Conference.Open knowledge projects that are part of the Wikimedia ecosystem allow users to consume, contribute, and reuse the data. Wikidata, the structured linked data knowledge base that serves as a hub for all Wikimedia projects, offers interesting opportunities for GLAM (Galleries, Libraries, Archives, Museums) institutions. Despite the fact that Wikidata holds over 60 million items, and that it is constantly growing, there is a noticeable gender disparity favoring entries for males. In this presentation, I share details of my efforts toward bridging the gender divide and hope to encourage GLAM professionals to join me in reshaping the art historical narrative in ways that can positively help bridging the gender gap in Wikidata and other Wikimedia projects while also providing more visibility to female artists in museum and library collections

Remixing Archival Metadata Project (RAMP) 2.0: Recent Developments and Analysis of Wikipedia Referrals
Full text linkPresentation slides from the 2016 DCMI International Conference on Dublin Core and Metadata Applications.The RAMP (Remixing Archival Metadata Project) tool, developed at the University of Miami Libraries, emerged as a way of facilitating the contribution of library data to the English Wikipedia in alignment with the increasing interest in sharing and exposing distinctive library collections in the online encyclopedia. RAMP is an open source web-based editor that extracts biographical information from EAD (Encoded Archival Description) finding aids using the EAC-CPF (Encoded Archival Context-Corporate Bodies, Persons, Families) format. It also allows for the integration of additional data from other sources like WorldCat Identities and VIAF (Virtual International Authority File) and transforms all the information into wiki markup for publication to the English Wikipedia through its API.
In 2014, a pilot project was conducted using the Cuban Heritage Collection (CHC) Theater Collections. Google Analytics was used to track usage and referrals from Wikipedia to the University of Miami finding aids website, and a noticeable increase in traffic was seen. A report of the results of the pilot project was presented at the Fonds & Bonds DCMI Preconference in 2014. Later, the tool was further developed and has been used to contribute additional collections to Wikipedia. RAMP 2.0 was recently released, and a number of issues identified during a round of usability testing conducted at the library were addressed. This presentation will cover an analysis of referrals from all Wikipedia pages created using the tool. It will also feature a demo of the tool, and will highlight some of the recent developments, which include a major overhaul of the interface, more secure Wikipedia log in, easy upload capabilities, and an effective and convenient installation process. With this recent development, we are providing the library community with a tool that is easy to use and install and that offers a convenient way to share data with other communities on a global scale
