Wikidata Institute – July 2023

“The Wikidata Institute exposed to me to so many opportunities that Wikidata offers, for the work I do, for the research that interests me, and for the ways in which I can make my work more visible to others. While I knew a bit about Wikidata before I started the course, the course — and the peers I met in it — showed me many new avenues and opportunities that I will now pursue.” – former participant

As powerful tools for open linked data, Wikidata and Wikibase are already strategically important to researchers, instructors, and other professionals across industries. Seize new opportunities for your institution by joining one of our upcoming online courses. We’ll meet twice a week for three weeks.

Our course can help you:

• Elevate the visibility of your collections by mapping culturally significant data from your industry in the global repository that is Wikidata.
• Draw new insights about your data using Wikidata’s customizable visualization and query tools.
• Gain a comprehensive understanding of current research by tracking and linking existing data in Wikidata to your data.
• Develop an equitable and inclusive model for linked data.
• Enrich Wikidata with high-quality data from your discipline to improve representation and accuracy.
