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.

1. How I use Zotero + OpenRefine + QuickStatements to create Scholia profiles from Wikidata (librarian.aedileworks.com/2025)

2. How to get through a Scholarly split (librarian.aedileworks.com/2025)

3. All your Wikibase are belong to us: librarian.aedileworks.com/2025

First inception in 2006, COSCUP is an annual conference organized by Taiwan’s open-source communities. Its aim is to provide a platform, a space for members of the open-source community to connect with each other and expand our horizons beyond individuals. Since 2020, the conference has embraced the no-registration model and remains open to everyone free of charge; anyone can hop in and out of any conference track they wish to participate in, with no need to register in advance. In recent years, COSCUP has also expanded by incorporating auxiliary activities like childcare, massage, hacking corner, flash talks, etc.

This year, Wikidata Taiwan invited old and new friends, and most importantly, we also invited our friend from Wikimedia Deutschland to celebrate together at this special milestone, sharing our stories with everyone.

Heute und morgen treffen wir uns mit vielen spannenden Projekten an der wunderschönen #adwmainz zum Hands-on Workshop "#Wikidata für die Jüdischen Studien ".

Organisiert haben wir ihn gemeinsam mit dem FID Jüdische Studien (@JuedStudien), wir freuen uns auf den Austausch!

@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.
