    Bringing the Canadian Archive of Women in STEM to Wikidata: How Wikidata can be used in an archival context
    (2020-06-08) Lee, Yoo Young; Lemus-Rojas, Mairelys; Bokovay, Marina
    Libraries and archives can play a critical role in the creation and curation of data in Wikidata to ensure underrepresented communities are not only included, but also properly described in the knowledge base. This workshop will provide a brief overview of Wikidata in the archival context and its possible uses. We will also share our experiences using Wikidata for the the Canadian Archive of Women in STEM initiative (https://biblio.uottawa.ca/en/women-in-stem/about) based on the WikiProject Archival Description initiative (https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:WikiProject_Archival_Description). The goal of the Canadian Archive of Women in STEM is to bring attention to and promote the discovery of the archival records of women in STEM held by Canadian institutions–a bilingual portal containing descriptive metadata, a biographical sketch/admin history about the women/organizations and information about the host institution–in order to provide a simplified avenue for researchers to discover all available holdings. Contributing the archival metadata and the biographical sketch, as well as links to the host institutions to Wikidata could further increase the visibility of collections, finding aids, as well as the institutions themselves, beyond archival or library systems. This workshop is designed to be interactive with a series of hands-on activities which includes a demonstration of how to contribute content from archival finding aids to Wikidata as well as an introduction on efficient workflows and useful tools for contributing, visualizing and querying the data. This workshop aims to encourage archivists to participate in the open knowledge movement and contribute their unique collections to Wikidata to expand their findability and reach.

    Contributing to the Representation of Women Artists in Wikidata
    (2019-11-07) Lemus-Rojas, Mairelys
    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.

    Wikidata for Scholarly Communication Librarianship
    (IUPUI University Library, 2022-07-01) Odell, Jere D.; Lemus-Rojas, Mairelys; Brys, Lucille
    Wikidata for Scholarly Communication Librarianship was developed for anyone working in an academic library (or interested in working in an academic library) who may have a small or large role in supporting scholarly communication related services. The first two chapters, however, could serve as a basic introduction to Wikidata for anyone in academic librarianship. The remaining three chapters focus on a few topics that may be of more interest to those who work on open metadata, research metrics, and researcher profile projects.
