This input shows data-modelling in Wikidata on significant events (“punitive” expeditions, thefts) in the plunder of African cultural heritage.

In case you missed it, I've recently published a trilogy of posts about adding Canadian legal data to #Wikidata in order to take advantage of linked data to find insights not currently possible with simple search.

Hoy a las 19hs @piracalamina y Ernesto Alves Temperán te contamos en vivo de qué se trata la Datatón sobre Carnaval Uruguayo.

Podés participar sumando información a #wikidata tanto sobre el #carnaval en Uruguay como sobre agrupaciones carnavalescas de formato uruguayo en otros países.

Nos encontramos en el canal de Youtube de Wikimedistas de Uruguay para despejar dudas y comenzar a editar. ¡Vení con tus preguntas! El video quedará disponible para verlo después.

@umblaetterer @NanetteRissler I am one of the people behind this #Wikidata-based #ToolRegistry, which we argue addresses some of the major shortcomings of other approaches, famously coined the "Directory paradox" by @quinnanya . An article in which we lay out our argument and the design decisions will be forthcoming with DHQ (The preprint is available at doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.15094816).

And, rest assured, many Wikidata entries link to Open SSH Marketplace, Tapor and others.

ZenodoOpen Tool Registries! Resolving the Directory Paradox with WikidataThis paper introduces the conceptual framework for open and community-curated tool registries, posing that such registries provide fundamental value to any field of research by acting as curated knowledge bases about a community’s past and current methodological practices as well as authority files for individual tools. This modular framework of a basic data model, SPARQL queries, bash scripts, and a prototypical web interface builds upon the well-established and open infrastructures of Wikimedia, GitLab, and Zenodo for creating, maintaining, sharing, curating, and archiving linked open data. We demonstrate the feasibility of this framework by introducing our concrete implementation of a tool registry for digital humanities, initially repurposing data from existing silos, such as TAPoR and the SSH Open Marketplace, and retaining the established TaDiRAH classification scheme while being open to communal editing in every aspect.

"Provenance and Restitution: Shared knowledge graphs as a tool in recovering looted cultural heritage and the histories of marginalized people"

We will explore how Wikidata can help looted art researchers to identify hidden networks and restore lost information. For full description see:
