Wikidata + Books Workshop
Channel: Wikimedia Foundation
Date: 2023-04-11

In this #EveryBookItsReader workshop, we learned how to add books to Wikidata.

More specifically, we learned about the #EveryBookItsReader campaign (https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/EveryBooksItsReader_2023); some general information about Wikidata; the way information is modeled in Wikidata (elements and properties); the power of linked data through SPARQL queries; and finally how to add a “literary work” Wikidata using other elements as an example and adding references to claims.

This workshop was hosted on 30 March 2023, by Oregon State University's librarian & campaign co-organizer, Laurie Bridges. Contents were delivered by Silvia Gutiérrez, Senior Program Officer for Libraries at the Wikimedia Foundation.
