Event on September 15: “Shared knowledge graphs as a tool in recovering looted cultural heritage and the histories of marginalized people“. 

I hope the information provided will be helpful to cultural heritage professionals, provenance researchers, claimants, Holocaust scholars, art crime experts, museum and art market people.

(Do not let the words "knowledge graph" scare you. In this talk, I’ll show how we can connect information—people, places, artworks, events—into a kind of map of relationships. Think of it as a network of stories and connections. We can use this to retrieve lost information and to explore hidden networks over long periods of time, which is very useful for Nazi-looted art as well as other kinds of stolen or disappeared cultural heritage.) 

The event will take place at the Deutsches Zentrum Kulturgutverluste, Außenstelle Berlin, Seydelstraße 18, 10117 Berlin. 

It is also possible to join the event via Webex. (Register by Sep 12)

In other news, I attended this evening's Dundee Data Meetup.
The speakers were great.

@watty62 spoke about #WikiData and demonstrated how incredible it is as a linked data resource. It's a good thing I'm on leave from work this week because I plan to spend much time using it.

@gregorymarler talked about @openstreetmap - another phenomenal resource with amazingly rich data. I really enjoy geospatial work, and had a few (more) ideas for projects.

COSCUP 2025 議程回顧:【OpenStreetMap kah Wikidata ê 整合 - 台灣上新 ê 例】

Wikidata Taiwan 的長期參與者、OpenStreetMap 社群的參與者同時臺灣維基媒體協會理事長的 #Dennis 在 COSCUP 上分享目前社群的資料建設成果,自 2019 年 Wikidata Taiwan 社群成立以來社群致力維護 Wikidata 中臺灣基礎資料的完整性,過去已經完成了臺灣村里鄉鎮市行政區的建置以及戶役政代碼與 OpenStreetMap 的串聯;今年更完成了現行河川代碼與 Wikidata 、OpenStreetMap 的對照工作。

除此之外 Dennis 在臺灣台語的推動上也是不遺餘力,本次的講座介紹以臺灣台語寫成,同時也使用臺灣台語進行演說。想要了解更多臺灣資料的維護與建置,可以看 Wikidata 專案頁面或是持續關注社群媒體。

COSCUP 2025 議程回顧:【鏈結開放資料的效益與挑戰 - 檢視 OCLC 對 Wikibase 的實驗與成果】

Wikidata 社群長期合作譯者 #洪哲賢 今年以維基媒體快速補助進行 OCLC 2019 的 Wikibase 研究報告進行在地化,將發布臺灣華語的完整譯本並同步上架臺灣台語、賽德克語等社群摘要版本,希望能將歐洲的鏈結資料工作成果與經驗能夠分享到臺灣的各社群中。

在議程中,洪哲賢簡介了 OCLC 以及圖書資訊管理裡面的資料術語,並以文件中的案例做簡單說明,協助大家可以進一步了解這份報告的內涵。

目前臺灣華語版本的完整報告已經公開,歡迎社群夥伴可以透過文件了解 Wikibase 應用上面的利弊以及如何評估組織是否適合導入 Wikibase 。

在數位時代,當許多瀕危語言正面臨流失危機,【Wikimedia project boosts software for endangered languages worldwide】一文中提及:即便世界上有超過 7000 種語言在國際中溝通使用,但網路上高達 89% 的資料僅用 10 種語言書寫而成,如何創造多元的語言對話、溝通乃至書寫的環境,成了語言、文化保存的重要行動。

Wikidata 「詞位(Lexeme)」資料類型,讓我們能在資料庫裡結構化地記錄每一個詞彙的詞性、詞根與變化形式,不但為語言研究注入活力,也為語言社群提供編輯新視角。

為了確保資料品質,Wikidata 同步引入 Shape Expressions(ShEx)驗證機制。使用者在撰寫或查詢瀕危語言資料時,就能即時檢查內容的一致性與完整度,大幅降低錯誤與遺漏的風險。

Wikimedia 與 Google Endangered Languages Project(ELP)深化合作,把音檔、影像與文本等珍貴素材透過 CC 授權搬上 Wikimedia Commons,並透過 Wikidata 建立連結。這樣的整合不僅串起不同平台上的珍貴語言資源,也讓全球志工更容易參與整理與校對。

目前已有逾三十種瀕危語言藉此管道完成詞彙整理與多媒體資源彙編,資料品質與豐富度都獲得顯著提升。未來,全球 Wikidata 社群計畫增補正字法編輯工具,並持續擴充字型與多腳本支援,為無書寫系統語言開拓更完善的線上保存管道。

Wikidata Taiwan 近年來陸續推動臺灣各語言詞表、字典以及語言在 Wikidata Lexeme 中的收錄,除了與各原住民維基百科社群主動合作推出主題工作坊,更在網路上搜羅各式開放資料透過 Wikidata 的平台功能進行資料的整合,這些內容目前都收錄於 Wikidata 臺灣專題頁面。
