WikiSkills: Empowering and fostering social, professional, cultural and civic skills through pedagogical use of Wiki technologies and methodologies
As part of the WikiSkills project, partners organized a series of conferences in Spain, Belgium and Greece. Each national event intended to inform about the existence of this great opportunity to empower wiki-culture. These events acted as forums among scientists, educational practitioners, wikipedians and professionals linked to web2.0, to share good practices around the use of wiki.
The aim of the events was to promote the use of wiki as a powerful tool in the current educational society, as well as to develop and consolidate a sustainable community of practice.

Based on a webinar presented to the Association of Independent Information Professionals (AIIP) these slides look at use of a wiki for event planning, and getting started using wikis for larger projects. A list of helpful resources are also included

Contributing to the global commons: Repositories and WikimediaNick Sheppard
There is huge potential for universities and their libraries to leverage Wikimedia in order to expose research outputs and collections. Wikimedia comprises sixteen projects in total, including Wikipedia, Wikimedia Commons and Wikidata. At the University of Leeds, the Research Data Management Service have successfully run a project that focuses on linking research data with the Wikimedia suite of tools via a series of ‘editathons’, in order to increase the visibility of research data and enable reuse on Wikipedia and elsewhere. The project - "Manage it locally to share it globally: RDM and Wikimedia Commons" - was the winning submission to a competition launched in May 2018 and sponsored by SPARC Europe, Jisc and the University of Cambridge, called the "Data Management Engagement Award", which aimed to address cultural challenges involved in promoting effective research data practices.
The project has served as a springboard to further explore Wikimedia strategically, both at the University of Leeds and across the White Rose Consortium. For example we are collaborating on a new project looking at Wikipedia citations of research from York, Sheffield and Leeds, and the proportion of these that are open access. The long term goal might be to establish a "Wikimedian in Residence" across the consortium. In this talk, we will present the project's outputs - including a toolkit that will enable other institutions to apply the same methodology. In addition we will explore the potential of Wikidata to link up repositories and other data silos in a manner that enables reuse and increases impact.
A wiki is free, functional and fabulous. This presentation will reveal how a wiki-centric classroom can easily be developed to provide a constructivist tool for collaboration, communication, publishing, presentation and assessment. Topics covered include the nuts and bolts of setting up a wiki, ideas for classroom use and best practice use of wikis internationally. The Edublog 2006 award winning wiki “Flat Classroom Project” will be featured along with a discussion of how to integrate Web 2.0 tools into the wiki environment.

An introduction to the Wikidata Thesis Toolkit / Helen Williams (London Schoo...CILIP MDG
Would you like to re-energise your metadata skills, re-enthuse your colleagues by demonstrating the power of metadata, and re-vitalise discovery of your unique content? Then this session is for you!
Supporting this year’s theme of “Re-discovery” Ruth Elder and Helen Williams will introduce their recently launched Wikidata Thesis Toolkit (https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:WikiProject_Wikidata_Thesis_Toolkit ), a document which aims to reduce the development burden for other institutions looking to establish a Wikidata thesis project. Ruth and Helen will showcase the value and impact of a Wikidata thesis project at each of their institutions, inspire the audience to get hands on with Wikidata through the live creation of a Wikidata thesis item, and demonstrate how SPARQL queries make use of your metadata.
We hope that this session will be foundational in developing a growing community of practice among UK metadata experts who are interested in developing Wikidata work and sharing experience with one another.
Paper presented at the CILIP Metadata and Discovery Group (MDG) Conference & UKCoR RDA Day (6th - 8th Sept 2023 at IET Austin Court, Birmingham).
Improving Organizational Efficiency with Wiki-based IntranetsThomas Siegers
Wikis are excellent tools to improve efficiency within organizations. They are easy to use as tools for collaboration, communication and documentation.

Presentation description:
Since the mid-2000s, cultural institutions around the world have worked together with Wikimedia volunteers in hundreds of collaboration projects. In these GLAM-Wiki projects, cultural organizations make their collections and specialized knowledge more widely accessible via the free encyclopedia Wikipedia and the free media repository Wikimedia Commons. In the past five years, Wikidata (Wikimedia's free, multilingual knowledge base) has gained a lot of influence in this area as well. As a very accessible and re-usable structured data and semantic web project, it has become a popular instrument for cultural institutions to publish collections as Linked Open Data, obtain multilingual data, place their collections in a much broader context, and enrich their collections with crowdsourced metadata. In 2017-19, Wikimedia Commons is also enhanced with structured data from Wikidata, with much improved APIs that make more smooth collaboration in GLAM-Wiki projects possible.
This keynote presentation provides a short overview of GLAM-Wiki collaborations and their impact, with special attention for the potential and use of Linked Open Data via Wikidata and via structured data on Wikimedia Commons. It includes examples of GLAM-Wiki projects by audiovisual archives and collections around the world.

The Wikimedia and OpenStreetMap projects are an existing free software infrastructure that already produces citizen science and can be used by researchers to share and co-produce data and to produce - and reproduce - the results of research. The presentation specifically refers to the potential of data related to cultural heritage for studies in the humanities and in particular in museology, art, art history and history of architecture.
