Welcome everyone to the very first

00:04:09,174 --> 00:04:10,846
It's so great that you're here.

(cheers and applause)
37
00:04:19,388 --> 00:04:23,222
I have some friends who are actually not
at Wikimedia, that happens,
38
00:04:23,222 --> 00:04:25,766
and I often tell them stories
about Wikimedia,
39
00:04:25,766 --> 00:04:27,459
and somehow they all believe
40
00:04:27,459 --> 00:04:30,541
that Wikimedia is something
like a never-ending party,
41
00:04:30,541 --> 00:04:34,603
full of goals, awards, fun ideas,
42
00:04:34,603 --> 00:04:39,488
amazing people--that's true, actually--
and new sticker designs every week.
43
00:04:39,488 --> 00:04:40,808
(laughter)
44
00:04:40,808 --> 00:04:43,714
I don't think that their image
of Wikimedia is going to change
45
00:04:43,714 --> 00:04:45,216
after this award.
46
00:04:47,108 --> 00:04:49,045
But, actually, seriously,
47
00:04:49,045 --> 00:04:51,481
I think it's super important
that we celebrate together,
48
00:04:51,481 --> 00:04:53,425
that we have fun together.
49
00:04:54,105 --> 00:04:57,328
There's nothing more nice in the world
than being proud of each other
50
00:04:57,328 --> 00:05:01,310
and actually acknowledge
the work that you do,
51
00:05:01,310 --> 00:05:03,501
that all of you do here, together.
52
00:05:04,646 --> 00:05:06,444
That's just so cool.
53
00:05:09,646 --> 00:05:13,228
2019 was a year of Wikimedia Awards,
54
00:05:13,228 --> 00:05:17,024
and the WikidataCon Award
is actually the little sister
55
00:05:17,024 --> 00:05:20,803
of the Coolest Tool Award that took place
in Wikimania in Stockholm
56
00:05:20,803 --> 00:05:22,550
for those who were there.
57
00:05:23,350 --> 00:05:28,118
And some people
from the Wikidata community came to me
58
00:05:28,118 --> 00:05:30,044
after the Coolest Tool Award,
and they were like,
59
00:05:30,044 --> 00:05:34,210
"We should have this for Wikidata too.
We should have it at WikidataCon."
60
00:05:34,210 --> 00:05:35,477
And here we are.
61
00:05:35,477 --> 00:05:38,008
Second iteration, as you know,
if you iterate on things,
62
00:05:38,008 --> 00:05:42,370
they can only get better,
so WikidataCon Award 2019!
63
00:05:45,207 --> 00:05:49,088
A few weeks ago, we were asking
for nominations for this award,
64
00:05:49,088 --> 00:05:52,693
for like your favorite projects,
no matter if it's a tool, initiative,
65
00:05:52,693 --> 00:05:53,896
outreach activity.
66
00:05:53,896 --> 00:05:55,591
Anything could be anything.
67
00:05:55,591 --> 00:06:00,469
I just want to say thank you so much
from our side for sending us nominations
68
00:06:00,469 --> 00:06:04,423
and actually describing
why this or that project is so cool
69
00:06:04,423 --> 00:06:05,733
that it should win an award.
70
00:06:05,733 --> 00:06:07,348
Really, thank you very much.
71
00:06:10,294 --> 00:06:12,236
We are awarding projects today
72
00:06:12,236 --> 00:06:14,924
because Wikimedia's all about
collaboration, right?
73
00:06:14,924 --> 00:06:19,516
But behind the projects,
there are actually people,
74
00:06:19,516 --> 00:06:21,194
it's the Wikidata community.
75
00:06:21,194 --> 00:06:23,481
So think of the people
than the award of the projects.
76
00:06:23,481 --> 00:06:25,814
Don't forget the people,
they're amazing and they're important.
77
00:06:25,814 --> 00:06:27,480
But we award projects.
78
00:06:33,176 --> 00:06:35,309
As said, we had a nomination process.
79
00:06:35,309 --> 00:06:38,909
There was a Selection Committee;
they are all in the room,
80
00:06:38,909 --> 00:06:42,703
Envel and Sjoerd and Amir and me,
81
00:06:44,087 --> 00:06:46,965
and there were more people involved.
82
00:06:46,965 --> 00:06:50,429
Actually, also non-Wikimedia people,
for example, my friend Moona,
83
00:06:50,739 --> 00:06:56,559
who you will find out what she did later
in this award ceremony was also involved,
84
00:06:56,559 --> 00:07:01,875
and Liam of course,
as the second host, ringmaster on stage
85
00:07:01,875 --> 00:07:04,285
who will talk a lot this evening.
86
00:07:05,168 --> 00:07:08,387
And Lea Laqua, who did
the communication, as always
87
00:07:08,387 --> 00:07:11,518
and just was awesome and helped us.
88
00:07:11,518 --> 00:07:14,236
We are awarding projects
in nine different categories:
89
00:07:14,236 --> 00:07:17,653
Editing, Community Building, Ecosystem,
Newcomer-friendly,
90
00:07:17,653 --> 00:07:21,153
Wikimedia Integration, Outreach,
Quality, Languages, Multimedia.
91
00:07:21,153 --> 00:07:27,074
If you have listened to the introduction
that you just see or hear,
92
00:07:27,074 --> 00:07:31,476
and maybe have even written down
some of the Q numbers,
93
00:07:31,476 --> 00:07:36,470
you will be able to go on the WikidataCon
Tourist Tour on Sunday, or on Monday,
94
00:07:37,086 --> 00:07:39,725
and find what is on this map.
95
00:07:39,725 --> 00:07:42,387
But I'm not going to show you longer.
96
00:07:43,844 --> 00:07:46,934
Yeah... sorry, I spoiled the next slide.
97
00:07:46,934 --> 00:07:50,752

who's also involved, our amazing pianist.

And we come to the very first
award category.
101
00:08:11,538 --> 00:08:16,663
It's, of course, Editing,
because if we don't edit, no data,
102
00:08:17,123 --> 00:08:18,143
no Wikidata.
103
00:08:18,143 --> 00:08:20,830
So this is like the source of everything.
104
00:08:23,478 --> 00:08:28,302
I'm very, very happy to announce
this year's winner
105
00:08:28,302 --> 00:08:30,408

(cheers and applause)
111
00:08:55,162 --> 00:08:59,136
So, I know there is at least one person
who contributed to OpenRefine
112
00:08:59,136 --> 00:09:00,478
in the audience.
113
00:09:00,478 --> 00:09:03,034
Can you wave? You don't have
to come up on stage, but wave.
114
00:09:03,034 --> 00:09:06,547
And everyone else who did something.
Wave. Woo-hoo!
115
00:09:06,547 --> 00:09:07,789
(applause)
116
00:09:07,789 --> 00:09:09,141
Thank you so much.
117
00:09:12,795 --> 00:09:15,668
Okay, I mean, we just can't say
OpenRefine is cool
118
00:09:15,668 --> 00:09:17,831
and everyone believes it,
and we can go on.
119
00:09:17,831 --> 00:09:21,398
But actually, maybe some of you don't know
what OpenRefine actually does.
120
00:09:21,398 --> 00:09:25,471
So for each award,
we also have a project description.
121
00:09:25,471 --> 00:09:28,047
I'm handing now over to Liam
122
00:09:28,047 --> 00:09:30,180
who's going to walk you
through the project.
123
00:09:30,180 --> 00:09:31,275
Yeah.
124
00:09:31,275 --> 00:09:34,020
So the great irony of me,
125
00:09:34,020 --> 00:09:36,955
describing one of the most
technically clever tools
126
00:09:36,955 --> 00:09:38,335
available in the Wikiverse...
127
00:09:38,335 --> 00:09:40,476
(laughter)
128
00:09:40,476 --> 00:09:43,621
...to one of the most
well-informed audiences
129
00:09:43,621 --> 00:09:45,243
about the Wikiverse.
130
00:09:45,951 --> 00:09:47,336
But if you have used--
131
00:09:47,843 --> 00:09:50,052
we've seen some of the people
in the audience
132
00:09:50,052 --> 00:09:52,919
who have been building OpenRefine.
133
00:09:52,919 --> 00:09:58,214
Who in this audience
has utilized OpenRefine?
134
00:09:58,214 --> 00:10:00,191
Great! Okay. You don't need to know.
135
00:10:02,741 --> 00:10:05,294
For the benefit of the tape
and for the benefit of people
136
00:10:05,294 --> 00:10:09,012
who have not personally
utilized this software--
137
00:10:09,012 --> 00:10:13,062
while we provide the prize
behind the scenes here--
138
00:10:13,062 --> 00:10:18,899
the importance of this tool is that
it allows to take messy data and clean it
139
00:10:18,899 --> 00:10:23,546
to use for uploading or downloading,
or connecting to Wikidata
140
00:10:23,546 --> 00:10:28,084
and other things, but especially Wikidata.
141
00:10:28,084 --> 00:10:31,281
Originally, a Google project
that is now being turned into
142
00:10:31,281 --> 00:10:37,373
a community-led project
for maintenance and of messy data.
143
00:10:39,055 --> 00:10:45,885
The jury decided this deserved the award
for Editing for two primary criteria.
144
00:10:45,885 --> 00:10:48,484
One, for the reconciliation function.
145
00:10:48,543 --> 00:10:52,848
It's one thing to clean messy data
for anyone's use,
146
00:10:52,848 --> 00:10:57,269
but the ability to then connect it
to the Wikidata items
147
00:10:57,269 --> 00:10:59,741
to provide the reconciliation service.
148
00:10:59,741 --> 00:11:01,386
Does this mean "that thing"?
149
00:11:01,386 --> 00:11:03,843
Does this mean "that thing"?
Yes, no, or maybe.
150
00:11:03,843 --> 00:11:08,352
It's extraordinarily important
for then taking your personal dataset
151
00:11:08,352 --> 00:11:12,051
and connecting it
to the wider Wikidata universe,
152
00:11:12,051 --> 00:11:13,862
semi-autonomously.
153
00:11:13,862 --> 00:11:18,302
They also describe
that the editing functions,
154
00:11:18,302 --> 00:11:22,302
the ability to export tabular data
and then use it directly
155
00:11:22,302 --> 00:11:26,120
or into quick statements
was incredibly useful and powerful.
156
00:11:26,120 --> 00:11:27,514
And for those reasons,
157
00:11:27,514 --> 00:11:32,990
the Committee decided that OpenRefine
deserves the Editing Award
158
00:11:32,990 --> 00:11:35,702
for the inaugural Wikidata Awards.
159
00:11:37,161 --> 00:11:38,897
(applause)
160
00:11:42,420 --> 00:11:47,904
And so for the actual presentation
of the award itself,
161
00:11:47,904 --> 00:11:50,887
given this is a project on Wiki...
162
00:11:52,542 --> 00:11:55,514
We are going to see now, live...
163
00:11:57,471 --> 00:11:59,006
Oh, wait a minute...
164
00:12:02,737 --> 00:12:06,670
Sorry... it's just... we need it because--
165
00:12:08,037 --> 00:12:10,293
As you see, nothing is here.
166
00:12:13,066 --> 00:12:14,904
(soft giggles)
167
00:12:15,734 --> 00:12:17,719
- But...
- (Liam) Hopefully, this works.
168
00:12:18,097 --> 00:12:19,449
(Birgit) I hope it works.
169
00:12:21,951 --> 00:12:23,891
(Liam) If you refresh the page...
170
00:12:25,123 --> 00:12:28,456
(Birgit) Oh... we have a bug,
I think, in the process?
171
00:12:28,926 --> 00:12:30,879
(laughter)
172
00:12:34,063 --> 00:12:37,054
(Birgit) Imagine that the award
is already here on the page.
173
00:12:37,054 --> 00:12:38,787
(laughter)
174
00:12:38,922 --> 00:12:40,094
(applause)
175
00:12:40,094 --> 00:12:42,190
Go back and describe the picture.
176
00:12:43,467 --> 00:12:48,143
Okay. So, it will happen soon.
We'll check later in the day.
177
00:12:48,409 --> 00:12:49,625
(laughter)
178
00:12:49,625 --> 00:12:51,665
But I can show you something here.
179
00:12:53,156 --> 00:12:56,177
So that map that was shown earlier
180
00:12:56,177 --> 00:12:59,444
was significant
for the purposes of the award
181
00:13:00,544 --> 00:13:05,357
because this is... you did the work
of taking these photographs,
182
00:13:05,357 --> 00:13:08,021
so you should describe what the award is.
183
00:13:09,564 --> 00:13:12,177
So, Wikidata is in our hearts, right?
184
00:13:12,177 --> 00:13:15,816
But for a moment, last Sunday evening,
185
00:13:15,816 --> 00:13:19,404
it was also in a very public space
[on there] in Berlin,
186
00:13:20,455 --> 00:13:24,004
So we went through the streets,
not to random buildings
187
00:13:24,005 --> 00:13:26,855
but to specific buildings--
which ones you need to find out.
188
00:13:26,855 --> 00:13:31,102
It's an interactive award,
so it's kind of a riddle for you.
189
00:13:32,039 --> 00:13:35,884
I mean, this one is probably obvious
that it's Technikmuseum,
190
00:13:35,884 --> 00:13:38,674
but I can promise you
the others are not that easy.
191
00:13:39,980 --> 00:13:44,396
And so we projected it to the walls
of the buildings that we found
192
00:13:44,396 --> 00:13:49,295
kind of fit the category
the awards get awarded in,
193
00:13:50,963 --> 00:13:52,942
and had it for a moment
in the public space
194
00:13:52,942 --> 00:13:54,431
and took a photo of that.
195
00:13:55,551 --> 00:13:57,243
That's the story of the award.
196
00:13:59,596 --> 00:14:01,023
Touching, right?
197
00:14:01,023 --> 00:14:02,441
(laughter)
198
00:14:02,441 --> 00:14:08,758
Well, the idea is we provide the "image,"
the one-time-only piece of public ad,
199
00:14:08,758 --> 00:14:13,333
temporary public ad
as the image on the project page.
200
00:14:13,333 --> 00:14:15,799
- That's the award.
- That's the award.
201
00:14:15,799 --> 00:14:18,225
- Are we there already?
- Is it loaded?
202
00:14:22,112 --> 00:14:23,340
- Okay.
- Nope.
203
00:14:23,340 --> 00:14:28,087
Okay. So just use your imagination,
and we go on to the next...
204
00:14:28,087 --> 00:14:29,757
I'm sure you have it.
205
00:14:29,757 --> 00:14:31,871
- Oh, the Wi-Fi is off.
- (man) No.
206
00:14:31,871 --> 00:14:33,958
- Ours? Yeah, it's not us.
- That's the Internet.
207
00:14:33,958 --> 00:14:35,494
It's not our task.
208
00:14:36,999 --> 00:14:38,331
- We just go, right?
- Yeah.
209
00:14:38,331 --> 00:14:40,151
Okay, cool. Music.
210
00:14:40,282 --> 00:14:41,438
♪ (slow piano music) ♪
211
00:14:41,438 --> 00:14:43,119
Oh, no, wait. Wrong direction...
212
00:14:55,747 --> 00:14:58,634
Okay. Other than editing,
213
00:14:58,634 --> 00:15:01,185
what is important for Wikidata
Community Building?
214
00:15:01,185 --> 00:15:06,482
Any activity that helps to develop
or to strengthen a community,
215
00:15:06,482 --> 00:15:09,865
and we're like way, way...
way, way more activities
216
00:15:09,865 --> 00:15:12,266
that you can possibly award in the world.
217
00:15:12,266 --> 00:15:18,460
But in the end,
there's a winner for this year.
218
00:15:21,774 --> 00:15:23,612
And the winner is...
219
00:15:23,624 --> 00:15:26,001
♪ (dramatic piano music) ♪
220
00:15:28,755 --> 00:15:30,571
WikiProject India!
221
00:15:30,571 --> 00:15:33,274
(cheers and applause)
222
00:15:43,257 --> 00:15:44,517
Congratulations.
223
00:15:44,517 --> 00:15:46,752
I think maybe
there are people in the room.
224
00:15:46,752 --> 00:15:48,988
Can you wave if you are here?
225
00:15:48,988 --> 00:15:51,116
Yay! Cool!
226
00:15:51,116 --> 00:15:52,544
(applause)
227
00:15:52,544 --> 00:15:54,904
Thank you so much. Congratulations!
228
00:15:58,028 --> 00:16:00,011
And I'm handing it over to you, I guess.
229
00:16:00,011 --> 00:16:01,723
We can also try the photo thing again?
230
00:16:01,723 --> 00:16:03,435
Maybe, maybe?
231
00:16:04,710 --> 00:16:06,056
- No.
- Okay, no.
232
00:16:06,056 --> 00:16:07,971
That was a definite "no" for me.
233
00:16:09,437 --> 00:16:12,944
So, while we upload that file to Commons
234
00:16:12,944 --> 00:16:16,807
and eventually place it
on the project page itself
235
00:16:16,807 --> 00:16:19,602
as the award, it's the trophy,
for the project page,
236
00:16:19,602 --> 00:16:24,474
Wikiproject India, which in my opinion,
has the coolest logo award.
237
00:16:25,970 --> 00:16:27,404
Does anyone...
238
00:16:27,404 --> 00:16:30,290
are there any other
Wikiprojects in Wikidata
239
00:16:30,290 --> 00:16:35,885
that utilize the national flag logo
with the Wikidata bars?
240
00:16:38,309 --> 00:16:39,444
I mean, that's pretty cool.
241
00:16:39,444 --> 00:16:43,992
So, Wikidata Project India
as would be, hopefully, fairly evident
242
00:16:43,992 --> 00:16:50,137
is about for and by the Indian community,
the languages of the Indian sub-continent
243
00:16:50,137 --> 00:16:55,762
and supporting the content
and the contributors
244
00:16:55,762 --> 00:16:59,788
to that geography culture history.
245
00:17:01,151 --> 00:17:04,187
The jury decided
246
00:17:04,187 --> 00:17:08,653
that this was particularly
worthy of this award.
247
00:17:08,653 --> 00:17:11,401
This community was
particularly worthy of this award
248
00:17:11,401 --> 00:17:16,474
because of its ability to share skills
to and among each other,
249
00:17:16,474 --> 00:17:20,887
the providing offline groups
to run technical workshops,
250
00:17:20,887 --> 00:17:23,764
to run editathons,
to run upload activities,
251
00:17:23,764 --> 00:17:25,793
label translation days,
252
00:17:25,793 --> 00:17:29,363
various kinds of projects
in real life and online
253
00:17:29,363 --> 00:17:33,457
to build a community
that provides skills to each other
254
00:17:33,867 --> 00:17:40,249
and builds stability and community
locally is fantastic,
255
00:17:40,249 --> 00:17:44,732
is worthy of attention
for its community communication
256
00:17:44,732 --> 00:17:49,515
among itself and to the wider Wikiverse
through a regular newsletter
257
00:17:49,515 --> 00:17:51,715
and active accounts on social media,
258
00:17:51,715 --> 00:17:55,649
and for the amount of content
that they have produced
259
00:17:55,649 --> 00:17:58,912
for and by, and about their subject area.
260
00:17:59,532 --> 00:18:02,245
This is an image, also from Commons,
261
00:18:02,245 --> 00:18:05,461
of one period of time
changes data ingestion
262
00:18:05,461 --> 00:18:08,250
about a particular state, West Bengal.
263
00:18:09,523 --> 00:18:12,681
Some of the example statistics
there in the bottom:
264
00:18:13,993 --> 00:18:18,515
50 India properties,
specifically 13,000 individual hospitals
265
00:18:18,515 --> 00:18:21,663
now have Wikidata items about them.
266
00:18:21,663 --> 00:18:23,269
So there's been an incredible increase
267
00:18:23,269 --> 00:18:27,619
in the quality and the quantity
of content about India,
268
00:18:27,619 --> 00:18:30,486
thanks largely to this community.
269
00:18:31,339 --> 00:18:33,276
(audience softly cheers)
270
00:18:33,276 --> 00:18:34,569
Congratulations.
271
00:18:34,569 --> 00:18:36,549

00:18:41,320 --> 00:18:44,303
♪ (dramatic piano music) ♪
273
00:18:51,904 --> 00:18:54,004

274
00:18:55,341 --> 00:19:00,369
So, let's have a look again,
WikiProject India.
275
00:19:03,948 --> 00:19:05,640
(audience giggling)
276
00:19:08,557 --> 00:19:11,689
I've seen it. I actually looked at
OpenRefine a second ago,
277
00:19:11,689 --> 00:19:12,895
it's already there.
278
00:19:12,895 --> 00:19:15,942
If you want to go back in history
and look in Wikidata.
279
00:19:17,409 --> 00:19:18,908
You go over the...
280
00:19:18,908 --> 00:19:20,726
There's a tab there. Open the tab.
281
00:19:21,420 --> 00:19:22,819
Which tab?
282
00:19:23,094 --> 00:19:24,304
Oh, no...
283
00:19:27,936 --> 00:19:29,386
Oh, okay.
284
00:19:31,036 --> 00:19:32,929
Ta-da! Yoo-hoo!
285
00:19:33,279 --> 00:19:34,512

286
00:19:34,512 --> 00:19:36,129
♪ (short piano chord) ♪
287
00:19:38,585 --> 00:19:42,285
We're doing this for the first time,
so next year it will be...
288
00:19:42,285 --> 00:19:43,792
more smooth.
289
00:19:46,424 --> 00:19:48,442
Um... okay.
290
00:19:49,419 --> 00:19:50,502
Yup.
291
00:19:50,752 --> 00:19:53,393
Ta-daaa!

Alright.
294
00:20:06,931 --> 00:20:10,772
So, the next category
is for category Ecosystem.
295
00:20:10,772 --> 00:20:13,983
That's the word
that we often use for anything...
296
00:20:17,544 --> 00:20:22,179
that shows how connected Wikidata is
in the world with other projects,
297
00:20:22,179 --> 00:20:24,795
partners, and so on.
298
00:20:24,795 --> 00:20:27,027
I think it's actually
a great word. I like it.
299
00:20:27,822 --> 00:20:29,739
Ecosystem, it sounds nice.
300
00:20:30,642 --> 00:20:36,358
And as in every other category,
we have a winner here for this year.
301
00:20:37,132 --> 00:20:38,612
And the winner is...
302
00:20:38,812 --> 00:20:41,179
♪ (dramatic piano music) ♪
303
00:20:43,614 --> 00:20:44,965
Sum of All Paintings!

00:20:54,108 --> 00:20:58,130

(cheers and applause)
307
00:21:05,914 --> 00:21:10,867
Okay. Let's have a deeper look
into Sum of All Paintings.
308
00:21:12,479 --> 00:21:14,229
While we upload the file.
309
00:21:14,229 --> 00:21:16,776
The files themselves,
the buildings themselves
310
00:21:16,776 --> 00:21:20,746
are significant to the category,
311
00:21:20,746 --> 00:21:25,624
but to find out why,
you might have to ask later.
312
00:21:25,624 --> 00:21:30,326
Sum of All Paintings, SoAP,
does not have a logo of its own
313
00:21:30,326 --> 00:21:34,143
so these are for Commons pictures
that depict soap bubbles...
314
00:21:34,143 --> 00:21:36,924
(laughter)
315
00:21:36,924 --> 00:21:38,375
...of many.
316
00:21:38,375 --> 00:21:43,931
A surprisingly large number of paintings
about soap and soap bubbles.
317
00:21:43,937 --> 00:21:45,257
I kid you not.
318
00:21:45,267 --> 00:21:48,840
So, Sum of All Paintings
was the brainchild
319
00:21:48,840 --> 00:21:55,347
to create a Wikidata item
about every notable painting.
320
00:21:55,777 --> 00:22:00,564
Notable in the context of
is hung in a public gallery,
321
00:22:00,564 --> 00:22:05,082
a major gallery, or is painted by a person
who is known as a famous painter.
322
00:22:05,082 --> 00:22:09,265
Not every painting that has ever existed,
but every notable painting.
323
00:22:09,265 --> 00:22:15,949
This has produced lots of work lists
that have resulted from that
324
00:22:15,949 --> 00:22:20,866
and lots of side projects around that,
as in Ecosystem.
325
00:22:20,866 --> 00:22:24,324
So, every painter, every collection.
326
00:22:24,754 --> 00:22:29,401
What made this project cool
from the perspective of the jury
327
00:22:29,401 --> 00:22:34,789
was the scale of the leadership,
328
00:22:34,789 --> 00:22:37,029
of the quality, and of the impact.
329
00:22:37,861 --> 00:22:40,899
These are some of the demonstrations
of the work lists,
330
00:22:40,899 --> 00:22:43,262
demonstration of the content.
331
00:22:43,262 --> 00:22:45,796
Don't expect to read this.
It's scrolling through quickly
332
00:22:45,796 --> 00:22:48,879
to demonstrate the sheer volume
of work behind it,
333
00:22:48,879 --> 00:22:52,780
the leadership, the tools,
the processes, the workflows,
334
00:22:52,780 --> 00:22:56,533
this you might recognize
has now been turned into [integravity]
335
00:22:57,153 --> 00:23:02,130
which is a tool usable by other projects
for their workflow management
336
00:23:02,130 --> 00:23:05,014
and quality assessment criteria.
337
00:23:05,364 --> 00:23:10,411
The consistently high standard
of the items at the upload stage
338
00:23:10,899 --> 00:23:13,499
and also at the mass upload stage,
339
00:23:13,499 --> 00:23:19,566
and then also the individual manual,
careful work to curate items
340
00:23:19,946 --> 00:23:24,502
at an individual
and as a handcrafted list level.
341
00:23:24,502 --> 00:23:28,723
So it really shows the breadth
of quality and quantity
342
00:23:29,333 --> 00:23:31,705
of the Wikidata ecosystem,
343
00:23:31,705 --> 00:23:35,817
and the impact Sum of All Paintings
344
00:23:35,817 --> 00:23:39,219
has proven incredibly important
345
00:23:39,219 --> 00:23:45,478
for demonstrating that GLAM datasets
can work with each other,
346
00:23:46,151 --> 00:23:49,459
at scale and openly.
347
00:23:50,507 --> 00:23:56,520
The interoperability of Open Glam
as demonstrable by Sum of All Paintings
348
00:23:56,520 --> 00:24:01,368
has improved the viability
and the light bulb moment
349
00:24:01,368 --> 00:24:04,323
for so many people in the cultural sector
350
00:24:04,683 --> 00:24:09,868
that the jury decided
this won the award for Ecosystem.

(applause)
366
00:25:17,227 --> 00:25:21,797
People who are involved
in Ateliers Wikidata à Paris,
367
00:25:21,797 --> 00:25:24,838
please wave that we can see you.
368
00:25:24,838 --> 00:25:25,976
Cool! Thank you.
369
00:25:25,976 --> 00:25:27,714
(applause)
370
00:25:29,733 --> 00:25:32,501
So there's actually a fun story
what happened
371
00:25:32,501 --> 00:25:39,103
when we were trying to find a good spot
to project Ateliers Wikidata à Paris
372
00:25:39,103 --> 00:25:41,824
against the walls
of a certain building in Berlin.
373
00:25:41,824 --> 00:25:44,706
We were like trying
and holding up a projector,
374
00:25:44,706 --> 00:25:48,326
and suddenly a person approached us
and maybe you are watching,
375
00:25:48,326 --> 00:25:50,200
it was really nice to meet you.
376
00:25:51,463 --> 00:25:56,285
So the person approached us and said,
"Oh! I just edited Wikidata yesterday."
377
00:25:57,775 --> 00:26:02,281
And we were like, "Oh, that's great.
You didn't see anything, okay?"
378
00:26:03,045 --> 00:26:04,445
(laughter)
379
00:26:04,712 --> 00:26:07,373
And I think he didn't reveal
the secret, that's really nice.
380
00:26:07,373 --> 00:26:09,440
It was really nice to meet you. Thank you.
381
00:26:09,440 --> 00:26:11,675
But just as a tip,
382
00:26:11,675 --> 00:26:15,885
if you ever plan a secret Wikidata mission
and no one should know,
383
00:26:15,885 --> 00:26:18,841
be aware that Wikidata's editors
are everywhere
384
00:26:18,841 --> 00:26:20,902
and you would not think, right?
385
00:26:20,902 --> 00:26:23,098
So it can happen anytime.
386
00:26:25,315 --> 00:26:26,491
Okay.
387
00:26:27,983 --> 00:26:29,450
Let's have a look.
388
00:26:30,080 --> 00:26:32,020
(Liam) I'm sorry...
(Birgit laughs)
389
00:26:32,680 --> 00:26:37,671
The Wikidata Ateliers à Paris is a series
of newcomer-friendly workshops,
390
00:26:37,671 --> 00:26:42,271
introductory workshops
at the Wikimedia France office in Paris
391
00:26:42,271 --> 00:26:48,005
that have been held over several years
on a consistent schedule
392
00:26:48,005 --> 00:26:51,855
to build a community
to be a welcoming home
393
00:26:51,855 --> 00:26:54,556
for a large city,
394
00:26:54,556 --> 00:27:00,070
to slowly grow
and steadily invite new people
395
00:27:00,070 --> 00:27:02,507
and bring them into our family.
396
00:27:02,807 --> 00:27:09,122
The jury decided that this was worthy
of particular mention
397
00:27:09,862 --> 00:27:13,276
of the various kinds
of outreach to newcomers
398
00:27:13,276 --> 00:27:15,765
and newbies across the Wikiverse...
399
00:27:15,765 --> 00:27:18,100
there we have the plushy matching.
400
00:27:19,840 --> 00:27:21,899
...because of its consistency.
401
00:27:22,564 --> 00:27:26,114
So there are lots of outreach activities
that have happened
402
00:27:26,114 --> 00:27:31,600
for newcomers across Wikimedia
and across Wikidata in particular.
403
00:27:35,702 --> 00:27:39,307
But this one has been going for years.
404
00:27:39,307 --> 00:27:41,887
That is quite impressive...
405
00:27:43,879 --> 00:27:47,141
to keep working at something like that,
406
00:27:47,141 --> 00:27:51,528
and equally, obviously,
for its welcoming atmosphere
407
00:27:51,528 --> 00:27:54,376
and consistently welcoming
atmosphere over that time.
408
00:27:54,376 --> 00:27:56,854
The Newcomer-friendly award
goes to a project
409
00:27:56,854 --> 00:28:00,894
that has demonstrated its friendliness
to newcomers, quite naturally.
410
00:28:00,894 --> 00:28:04,969
So, the award is now...
411
00:28:06,369 --> 00:28:08,005
Take a look, take a look.
412
00:28:08,825 --> 00:28:10,581
(cheers and applause)
413
00:28:10,581 --> 00:28:12,048
...on the topic page.
414
00:28:12,374 --> 00:28:14,613
(applause)
415
00:28:17,952 --> 00:28:21,758
All of these awards are, of course,
going onto the top front corner
416
00:28:21,758 --> 00:28:23,786
of these project pages right now.
417
00:28:23,786 --> 00:28:26,868
Feel free to move them
and place them where else you want,
418
00:28:26,868 --> 00:28:27,888
but for the moment,
419
00:28:27,888 --> 00:28:30,961
we're just stamping them
in the front corner of the Wikipage.
420
00:28:34,900 --> 00:28:36,131
Alright.
421
00:28:40,204 --> 00:28:42,301
♪ (happy piano music) ♪
422
00:29:00,562 --> 00:29:04,149
Wikimedia Integration
is our next category.
423
00:29:05,473 --> 00:29:09,089
We have some examples today
in the birthday presents
424
00:29:09,089 --> 00:29:13,095
that would also fit under this category,
Wikimedia Integration
425
00:29:14,212 --> 00:29:17,609
and many, many other projects
and approaches.
426
00:29:17,996 --> 00:29:20,977
And also here, we have

431

(laughter)
432
00:29:50,512 --> 00:29:55,441
Yeah, it was one of the most
difficult photos to take
433
00:29:55,441 --> 00:30:00,690
because this is a window,
as you can see, a glass window.
434
00:30:00,690 --> 00:30:04,264
But we kind of fitted, maybe not to...
it fitted to the category,
435
00:30:04,264 --> 00:30:06,451
maybe not to Wikidata Infobox
on Commons so much,
436
00:30:06,451 --> 00:30:08,405
but it fitted to the category.
437
00:30:09,041 --> 00:30:11,597
And thank you very much,
and we are having a deeper look
438
00:30:11,597 --> 00:30:16,463
into what actually Wikidata's
Infobox on Commons does.
439
00:30:18,148 --> 00:30:19,163
Yeah.
440
00:30:19,163 --> 00:30:25,749
So, as any of you who were here
for the birthday presents
441
00:30:25,749 --> 00:30:27,414
will have heard this,
442
00:30:27,414 --> 00:30:33,009
has since been improved and expanded
in terms of Wikidata on Commons.
443
00:30:33,493 --> 00:30:36,910
But the jury found that this was
particularly important and noteworthy
444
00:30:36,910 --> 00:30:39,093
for the Integration category.
445
00:30:39,093 --> 00:30:41,695
Wikidata Infobox on Commons
is the template
446
00:30:41,695 --> 00:30:46,464
that allows you to put
a Wikipedia-like box of structured data
447
00:30:46,464 --> 00:30:50,777
on the category about that thing
on Wikimedia Commons.
448
00:30:50,777 --> 00:30:54,754
Most important, because it's multilingual.
449
00:30:54,754 --> 00:31:00,151
It's the first time we've really been able
to show Commons is a multilingual project
450
00:31:00,151 --> 00:31:04,549
because it works in all languages
with one template.
451
00:31:05,674 --> 00:31:11,992
This is one of Mike's model examples
452
00:31:11,992 --> 00:31:15,803
for the project Telescopes.
453
00:31:20,692 --> 00:31:24,787
The importance of the project...
454
00:31:24,787 --> 00:31:26,721
being the complexity.
455
00:31:26,721 --> 00:31:30,727
It's hard to make a screenshot
of a long infobox.
456
00:31:30,923 --> 00:31:32,488
(laughter)
457
00:31:33,956 --> 00:31:37,089
So the jury found this project
was particularly useful
458
00:31:37,089 --> 00:31:40,339
for Wikidata integration
for three main criteria.
459
00:31:40,339 --> 00:31:43,454
One is the flexibility.
460
00:31:43,454 --> 00:31:49,383
It's the fact that this one template
works with over 300 properties
461
00:31:50,400 --> 00:31:52,183
and can pull them in...
462
00:31:52,183 --> 00:31:56,884
with one field.
463
00:31:57,496 --> 00:32:01,246
The scale of this single tool
464
00:32:01,246 --> 00:32:04,281
was the second criteria
the jury found really important.
465
00:32:04,281 --> 00:32:05,311
That this is used
466
00:32:05,311 --> 00:32:08,681
across two and a half million
categories on Commons,
467
00:32:08,681 --> 00:32:13,457
demonstrates that it is useful
to such a huge proportion
468
00:32:13,457 --> 00:32:18,750
of one of the most utilized
sister projects in the Wikiverse.
469
00:32:18,750 --> 00:32:22,503
And that you can pull together
these two projects
470
00:32:22,503 --> 00:32:27,849
to such a high degree of connectivity
at such a high scale
471
00:32:27,849 --> 00:32:30,364
is a fantastic demonstration.
472
00:32:30,364 --> 00:32:33,694
And demonstration
proof to Wikimedia Commons
473
00:32:33,694 --> 00:32:39,155
and to the rest of the Wikimedia projects
474
00:32:39,155 --> 00:32:44,580
that Wikidata can serve information
that is useful, that is multilingual,
475
00:32:44,580 --> 00:32:47,197
that is available right now.
476
00:32:48,347 --> 00:32:53,347
Arguably, first and best,
in terms of demonstrations
477
00:32:53,347 --> 00:32:57,898
that Wikidata, as a service delivery,
as a support for the other projects
478
00:32:57,898 --> 00:33:00,831
has shown this
479
00:33:00,831 --> 00:33:05,509
to the non-Wikidata
community of Wikimedia
480
00:33:05,509 --> 00:33:07,169
most successfully.
481
00:33:07,659 --> 00:33:11,609
So, for that, we give you an award.
482
00:33:12,094 --> 00:33:14,394

483
00:33:24,211 --> 00:33:25,895
Soon... we'll give you an award soon.
484
00:33:25,895 --> 00:33:28,178
Ah, here it is.
Of course, it is below the infobox.
485
00:33:29,130 --> 00:33:30,937
The infobox is long, right?
486
00:33:30,937 --> 00:33:32,737
It's a long infobox.
487
00:33:32,737 --> 00:33:37,995
And this image manages to combine

00:34:08,128 --> 00:34:09,874
He deserves a lot of the credit for that.
502
00:34:09,874 --> 00:34:13,972
And all the feedback that comes to me
is being given to the Infobox.
503
00:34:13,972 --> 00:34:16,669
Whenever something's not quite right,
people will come and say that,
504
00:34:16,669 --> 00:34:18,005
and that's incredibly useful.

Yeah, we wish to reemphasize
for this award and for all awards,

they're often in some individual people

for which they deserve credit.
511
00:34:37,878 --> 00:34:41,172
But there's also a lot of people
who have done a lot of pieces of work,

00:34:41,172 --> 00:34:43,697
the long tail of all Wikimedia work,
513
00:34:43,697 --> 00:34:47,214

in more or less formal ways,
515
00:34:50,269 --> 00:34:56,914

525
00:35:38,323 --> 00:35:42,496
Also here, we have a lot of activities
that would deserve recognition
526
00:35:42,496 --> 00:35:48,930
and the Committee decided for one project
to be the winner for this year.
527
00:35:50,496 --> 00:35:52,312
♪ (dramatic piano music) ♪
528
00:35:58,934 --> 00:36:01,106
(audience cheering)
529
00:36:01,106 --> 00:36:02,888
Wikidata Lab!
530
00:36:02,888 --> 00:36:04,858
(applause)
531
00:36:08,991 --> 00:36:12,024
And of course, when you want to start
an outreach project,
532
00:36:12,024 --> 00:36:16,815
you always go to the main train station,
take a train, and start the outreach work.
533
00:36:18,356 --> 00:36:20,890
Yeah, thank you very much.
Are you in the room?
534
00:36:20,890 --> 00:36:23,691
Is someone in the room? Woo-hoo!
535
00:36:23,691 --> 00:36:25,367
(applause)
536
00:36:30,344 --> 00:36:32,639
Also, to all your friends
who are not in the room,
537
00:36:32,639 --> 00:36:35,925
please on Twitter, Telegram, Wiki,
538
00:36:36,845 --> 00:36:40,743
any letter, traditional letter,
anything you can think of...
539
00:36:42,159 --> 00:36:44,881
and I hand over to Liam again.
540
00:36:45,726 --> 00:36:48,477
So, the Wikidata Lab... Wikidata Lab?
541
00:36:48,477 --> 00:36:49,726
(laughter)
542
00:36:49,726 --> 00:36:52,054
- (man) [How did you name that?]
- I forget.
543
00:36:52,925 --> 00:36:54,930
The Wikidata Lab.
544
00:36:55,500 --> 00:37:00,062
This is a series of thematic edit-a-thons
and presentations
545
00:37:00,062 --> 00:37:03,142
at the University of São Paulo in Brazil.
546
00:37:03,142 --> 00:37:07,010
Monthly meetings
which have brought together researchers--
547
00:37:07,010 --> 00:37:10,843
so academics, people
in the professional sectors like GLAM,
548
00:37:10,843 --> 00:37:13,460
students, and Wikimedians
549
00:37:13,460 --> 00:37:17,969
who might be now or might formerly be
in any of those categories,
550
00:37:18,529 --> 00:37:21,343
to work together, to learn from each other
551
00:37:21,343 --> 00:37:26,791
and share their experiences
in a regular project,
552
00:37:26,791 --> 00:37:29,543
a regular community forum.
553
00:37:30,994 --> 00:37:34,872
The jury found this project
554
00:37:34,872 --> 00:37:39,894
particularly worthy
for recognition in Outreach
555
00:37:39,894 --> 00:37:41,712
because of its sustainability.
556
00:37:41,712 --> 00:37:45,630
So it has been, like some
of the other prizes this evening,
557
00:37:45,630 --> 00:37:48,397
has been running for a number of years,
558
00:37:48,397 --> 00:37:53,230
has run regular activities
over that period of time
559
00:37:53,230 --> 00:37:54,582
on different topics.
560
00:37:54,582 --> 00:37:57,971
The consistency of that outreach work
561
00:37:57,971 --> 00:37:59,781
is significant.
562
00:38:00,572 --> 00:38:06,008
The practicality of project
has been noted.
563
00:38:06,008 --> 00:38:11,664
So that is the attempt to provide skills,
practical skills to people
564
00:38:11,664 --> 00:38:14,447
in this particular community,
this particular language
565
00:38:14,447 --> 00:38:19,013
that is shareable among
that wider community of the language,
566
00:38:19,013 --> 00:38:23,757
so it's one city, but across
an entire language community,
567
00:38:23,757 --> 00:38:27,223
which is on several continents,
568
00:38:27,223 --> 00:38:33,243
and the focus on bringing people
from different Wikimedia projects,
569
00:38:33,243 --> 00:38:35,471
not just talking to Wikidata people,
570
00:38:35,471 --> 00:38:39,863
but talking to Wikipedia people,
to Commons people, Wikisource people,
571
00:38:39,863 --> 00:38:42,745
and connecting each other
with these new skills
572
00:38:42,745 --> 00:38:45,912
about how Wikidata can be helpful to them,
573
00:38:46,432 --> 00:38:50,181
particularly for,
as the nomination statement
574
00:38:50,181 --> 00:38:52,208
also pointed out,
575
00:38:52,208 --> 00:38:55,370
to focus on a Global South community
576
00:38:56,630 --> 00:38:58,513
in doing that work.
577
00:38:58,513 --> 00:39:04,740
This is not people in the office
in America or Germany,
578
00:39:04,740 --> 00:39:09,537
this is people in the community
working to share skills to each other.
579
00:39:09,537 --> 00:39:11,590
Finally, the integration, as mentioned.
580
00:39:11,590 --> 00:39:15,425
The work across different parts
of the Wikimedia ecosystem
581
00:39:15,425 --> 00:39:20,435
has made Wikidata highly accepted,
adopted, and integrated
582
00:39:20,435 --> 00:39:26,627
across the Portuguese Wikimedia projects
in a way that is notable
583
00:39:26,627 --> 00:39:30,626
compared to some of the other large
language communities.
584
00:39:30,626 --> 00:39:33,876
This is a screenshot
of the YouTube channel
585
00:39:33,876 --> 00:39:37,110
of all of the videos from this series.
586
00:39:37,110 --> 00:39:39,360
They're all available,
they're all live-streamed,
587
00:39:39,360 --> 00:39:42,681
they've all been shared on Commons
and YouTube, and various platforms.
588
00:39:42,681 --> 00:39:47,043
So, the ability to then send
that information to other communities
589
00:39:47,043 --> 00:39:49,461
was part of the design of this project.
590
00:39:49,461 --> 00:39:52,528
It's not just for São Paulo,
not just for the students,
591
00:39:52,528 --> 00:39:56,530
or not only for the students,
but for the wider community.
592
00:39:56,530 --> 00:40:03,531
So, for that, the jury has declared
Wikidata Lab the winner.
593
00:40:04,179 --> 00:40:06,033
(applause)
594
00:40:12,268 --> 00:40:17,616
Which we placed on the top page
of the item about the project.
595
00:40:19,188 --> 00:40:21,960
Give them the card,
edit the YouTube channel.
596
00:40:22,857 --> 00:40:24,409
- Or is that...
- Yet...
597
00:40:24,409 --> 00:40:26,181
(Birgit) Yet.
598
00:40:26,605 --> 00:40:28,364

602
00:41:04,827 --> 00:41:07,091
Our next category, Quality.
603

Anything that helps in improving
the quality of Wkidata's data...

- Wikidata's?

00:41:29,584 --> 00:41:32,317
I should know, actually.
I work for Wikimedia Russia.
611
00:41:32,317 --> 00:41:36,385
But I don't remember.
I think we said, "Wikidata."
612
00:41:36,385 --> 00:41:39,285
But maybe only on the third floor?
613
00:41:42,211 --> 00:41:43,403
Okay... Quality...

I'm looking for the winner...
I think I've seen him somewhere here.
617
00:42:01,046 --> 00:42:02,732
It's a bit hard to see.

(cheers and applause)
619
00:42:11,833 --> 00:42:14,344
The winner is Mix'n'match!
620
00:42:15,788 --> 00:42:18,987
And the main contributor behind that
621
00:42:18,987 --> 00:42:21,410
is in the 1, 2, 3, 4th row, Magnus.
622
00:42:23,316 --> 00:42:26,075
Yeah... let's look into it, right?
623
00:42:30,387 --> 00:42:33,064
- Mix'n'match...
- Mix'n'match.
624
00:42:33,714 --> 00:42:38,797
So we have the creator of Mix'n'match.
625
00:42:39,287 --> 00:42:42,564
Has anyone in the room used Mix'n'match?
626
00:42:43,448 --> 00:42:44,849
(laughter)
627
00:42:47,065 --> 00:42:50,110
It's an influential project.
628
00:42:50,880 --> 00:42:54,433
This is a service which allows you
to report authority-control lists,
629
00:42:54,433 --> 00:43:00,742
lists of vocabularies
from external providers of a list of...
630
00:43:01,275 --> 00:43:04,849
controlled vocabularies
and connect them, match them
631
00:43:04,849 --> 00:43:09,037
to Wikidata items, and say, "Yes,
this over in that external repository
632
00:43:09,037 --> 00:43:11,561
is that in our repository."
633
00:43:12,759 --> 00:43:17,910
In an automated,
semi-automated manual approach,
634
00:43:17,910 --> 00:43:22,360
game approach, various methods
of achieving that matching process.
635
00:43:22,360 --> 00:43:25,112
Create new items,
if it doesn't exist already,
636
00:43:25,112 --> 00:43:28,545
reject the item if it's not relevant
to Wikidata at all.
637
00:43:30,301 --> 00:43:36,036
The jury is particularly impressed
by this project for the Quality award
638
00:43:36,036 --> 00:43:40,784
because it is fundamental now
639
00:43:40,784 --> 00:43:43,949
to how Wikidata works.
640
00:43:43,949 --> 00:43:48,515
Introduced in 2003,
Mix'n'match became core.
641
00:43:48,886 --> 00:43:53,270
Who would consider Mix'n'match
to be a standard part
642
00:43:53,270 --> 00:43:56,871
of their Wikidata workflow
on almost a daily basis?
643
00:43:58,238 --> 00:44:00,129
A large proportion of the audience.
644
00:44:00,722 --> 00:44:02,239
(laughter)
645
00:44:04,159 --> 00:44:07,512
The influential work of Mix'n'match
646
00:44:07,512 --> 00:44:11,435
is also noted for this Quality award
647
00:44:11,435 --> 00:44:16,147
because of its ability to make wide
and deep connections
648
00:44:16,147 --> 00:44:18,623
of our collections of content
and vocabularies
649
00:44:18,623 --> 00:44:20,751
to external...
650
00:44:20,751 --> 00:44:26,032
many external vocabulary lists,
651
00:44:26,032 --> 00:44:28,212
controlled lists,
652
00:44:28,212 --> 00:44:31,484
to connect them and make
what has been termed Wikidata,
653
00:44:31,484 --> 00:44:34,352
termed "the Internet's duct tape,"
654
00:44:34,352 --> 00:44:39,971
holding all of these disparate systems
that have their own authority lists
655
00:44:39,971 --> 00:44:41,722
but don't talk to each other,
656
00:44:41,722 --> 00:44:45,297
and we're able to connect
them all to each other.
657
00:44:45,297 --> 00:44:50,734
Another description which I heard recently
was the Wood Wide Web,
658
00:44:51,353 --> 00:44:53,570
as in the mycelial network--
659
00:44:53,570 --> 00:44:58,571
the root structure underneath the soil
of the forest that is the Internet
660
00:44:58,571 --> 00:45:01,377
connecting all of the forest together.
661
00:45:01,377 --> 00:45:04,437
Mix'n'match has become
so fundamental to Wikidata,
662
00:45:04,437 --> 00:45:08,700
which has made Wikidata so fundamental
to the architecture of the Internet.
663
00:45:08,700 --> 00:45:11,598
For that, we award it the Quality award.
664
00:45:19,933 --> 00:45:21,249
(quiet laughter)
665
00:45:21,249 --> 00:45:23,666
For that, we will award the Quality award.
666
00:45:23,666 --> 00:45:24,825
(laughter)
667
00:45:26,124 --> 00:45:28,094
Yeah, congratulations.

(applause)
672
00:46:11,657 --> 00:46:14,882
So as you all know,
this conference has the theme:
673
00:46:14,882 --> 00:46:16,924
Languages, Wikidata Languages.
674
00:46:16,924 --> 00:46:21,491
And so, that's why we also have
a category Languages--
675
00:46:21,991 --> 00:46:26,614
anything that helps to increase
multilingual content and so on, and so on,
676
00:46:26,614 --> 00:46:28,413

We'll talk more about it.
Let's talk about it.
681
00:46:48,910 --> 00:46:50,833
Alright, let's look at Menu Challenge.
682
00:46:51,163 --> 00:46:57,002
Do we have anyone who helped create
Menu Challenge here in the audience?
683
00:46:59,661 --> 00:47:01,975
No? Yes? We have one?
684
00:47:01,975 --> 00:47:04,018
Do we have anyone who was a participant
685
00:47:04,018 --> 00:47:07,092
in either of the rounds
of the Menu Challenge?
686
00:47:07,092 --> 00:47:09,726
A couple here in the audience. Excellent.
687
00:47:10,075 --> 00:47:13,493
So the Wikidata Menu Challenge #tastydata,
688
00:47:13,493 --> 00:47:18,464
is a Wikidata label campaign/competition
689
00:47:18,464 --> 00:47:20,195
that has been run a couple of times
690
00:47:20,195 --> 00:47:21,461
over the years.
691
00:47:21,461 --> 00:47:24,475
This is a competition to take a list
692
00:47:24,475 --> 00:47:29,103
of a fixed vocabulary list about food
693
00:47:29,103 --> 00:47:34,442
and to self-assigned points
for translating labels, descriptions,
694
00:47:34,442 --> 00:47:39,380
audio files, photographs
about those food items.
695
00:47:39,380 --> 00:47:43,825
Both of these works were coordinated
out of Wikimedia Sweden,
696
00:47:43,825 --> 00:47:46,358
both of these were related
to Swedish events.
697
00:47:46,358 --> 00:47:48,612
One was a food festival,
698
00:47:48,612 --> 00:47:53,698
where the eventual translations got placed
as labels at the food festival
699
00:47:53,698 --> 00:47:55,294
around the park.
700
00:47:55,294 --> 00:47:59,780
And again, more recently,
Wikimania in Stockholm,
701
00:47:59,780 --> 00:48:01,678
just a couple of months ago.
702
00:48:01,678 --> 00:48:06,163
The jury found this project
particularly worthwhile,
703
00:48:06,163 --> 00:48:08,453
worthy of noting for the Language category
704
00:48:08,453 --> 00:48:14,805
because of its combination
in real life and online work
705
00:48:15,364 --> 00:48:19,048
to bring Wikidata out
into the restaurant app
706
00:48:19,048 --> 00:48:24,067
into the park and the field
and to connect the enjoyableness
707
00:48:24,067 --> 00:48:28,215
of food editing and fun
and put them into one package.
708
00:48:29,143 --> 00:48:32,548
Many projects and competitions
and events happened
709
00:48:32,548 --> 00:48:34,667
entirely behind the computer.
710
00:48:34,667 --> 00:48:39,533
This as a language campaign
is notable for that connectivity
711
00:48:39,533 --> 00:48:43,462
to being out and sharing food together.
712
00:48:43,462 --> 00:48:45,874
There's nothing more international
and multilingual
713
00:48:45,874 --> 00:48:49,198
than the sharing of food
and sharing of food stories
714
00:48:49,198 --> 00:48:51,193
and culture around food.
715
00:48:51,743 --> 00:48:55,149
Multilingualism,
obviously for the language prize,
716
00:48:55,149 --> 00:48:59,196
was the other criteria
that the jury noted in particular,
717
00:49:00,066 --> 00:49:02,480
highlighting how Wikidata
718
00:49:02,480 --> 00:49:05,514
is our multilingual project
in such a fundamental way
719
00:49:05,514 --> 00:49:11,213
by using core vocabulary
relevant to so many cultures
720
00:49:11,213 --> 00:49:16,021
about such important topics
that can then be taken forward and used.
721
00:49:16,021 --> 00:49:21,223
Replicability was the third criteria
that was important for the jury.
722
00:49:21,223 --> 00:49:25,339
The fact that this can be created quickly,
723
00:49:25,339 --> 00:49:29,927
that a community can build around
this competition quickly.
724
00:49:29,927 --> 00:49:32,770
It can be run easily, cheaply,
725
00:49:32,770 --> 00:49:36,727
minimal infrastructure
to create a useful outcome
726
00:49:36,727 --> 00:49:39,471
beyond possibly the scope
that you were originally hoping.
727
00:49:39,471 --> 00:49:43,887
So the ease of use and the ease
of reuse by different people
728
00:49:43,887 --> 00:49:48,040
for different activities outside food
and outside Sweden, if you want,
729
00:49:48,640 --> 00:49:50,206
was notable.
730
00:49:50,206 --> 00:49:55,129
This is the list from
Wikimania Stockholm recently,
731
00:49:55,129 --> 00:49:58,883
and many people in this audience
were participants in that,
732
00:49:58,883 --> 00:50:01,696
sharing images, sharing their own words
733
00:50:01,696 --> 00:50:04,196
and the translations of those words
in their home language.
734
00:50:04,196 --> 00:50:09,213
So, for that, the jury has awarded
the Languages prize.
735
00:50:11,268 --> 00:50:12,641
And there we go.
736
00:50:12,641 --> 00:50:14,501

737
00:50:23,684 --> 00:50:25,919
♪ (calm piano music) ♪
738
00:51:02,229 --> 00:51:05,817
(Birgit) Unfortunately, we are already
at the end of our award.
739
00:51:05,817 --> 00:51:07,885
This is the last category.
740
00:51:08,335 --> 00:51:10,183
(audience) Oh!
741
00:51:10,183 --> 00:51:14,369
But this is about Multimedia.
Multimedia is actually pretty cool.
742
00:51:14,369 --> 00:51:15,569
(audience) Mmm.
743
00:51:15,569 --> 00:51:16,805
And we have the winner here.
744
00:51:16,805 --> 00:51:18,581

- (man) ISA!
- ISA!
748
00:51:27,289 --> 00:51:29,339
(cheers and applause)
749
00:51:36,599 --> 00:51:39,440
With the most arty image, we hope.
750
00:51:40,167 --> 00:51:44,968
So, yeah, I hope you can still read it
but it's ISA, congratulations.
751
00:51:44,968 --> 00:51:46,859
Are you in the room? Anyone?
752
00:51:47,289 --> 00:51:49,307
- Over there.
- Yoo-hoo!
753
00:51:49,307 --> 00:51:51,033
(applause)
754
00:51:51,033 --> 00:51:52,780
Congratulations!
755
00:51:52,904 --> 00:51:55,456
Okay. It's yours.
756
00:51:55,926 --> 00:52:00,170
So, ISA for the Multimedia award,
on a bridge girder.
757
00:52:03,519 --> 00:52:06,120
Has anyone in the audience
used or been involved
758
00:52:06,120 --> 00:52:07,972
in one of the ISA campaigns?
759
00:52:09,936 --> 00:52:11,897
Half the audience here?
760
00:52:11,897 --> 00:52:16,303
For a relatively new project,
that's really quite impressive.
761
00:52:16,303 --> 00:52:20,604
This is one of the first projects
to utilize Structured Data on Commons,
762
00:52:20,604 --> 00:52:24,187
as a third-party, built on top
of Structured Data on Commons.
763
00:52:24,187 --> 00:52:26,070
which itself is quite new,
764
00:52:26,070 --> 00:52:30,489
so the ability to then produce new games
765
00:52:30,489 --> 00:52:33,651
on top of it is fantastic.
766
00:52:34,119 --> 00:52:38,905
ISA is a multilingual mobile-oriented,
767
00:52:38,905 --> 00:52:44,963
also desktop project tool game
to add structured data to Commons,
768
00:52:44,963 --> 00:52:48,717
quickly, easily and fun
in a campaign environment.
769
00:52:50,195 --> 00:52:53,613
The jury found this particularly cool.
770
00:52:53,613 --> 00:52:55,899
This is a demonstration
of how to go about it.
771
00:52:55,899 --> 00:53:00,124
So you choose a campaign
from the homepage.
772
00:53:00,767 --> 00:53:04,231
You can see there the highlights
of who is the most active user,
773
00:53:04,231 --> 00:53:06,629
or you can see potentially
different countries
774
00:53:06,629 --> 00:53:08,977
or different categories
within that competition.
775
00:53:08,977 --> 00:53:10,854
So you can select your category.
776
00:53:11,946 --> 00:53:17,543
This is for public arts
in Wikilabs Africa.
777
00:53:18,532 --> 00:53:23,182
It gives you an image,
you add it to Depicts, statement.
778
00:53:23,182 --> 00:53:27,233
You can declare it to be prominent
within the field, within the image itself,
779
00:53:27,233 --> 00:53:30,324
add the other ones that
might not be quite so prominent,
780
00:53:31,761 --> 00:53:33,237
and Save.
781
00:53:35,961 --> 00:53:38,894
And that takes you directly across to...
782
00:53:41,500 --> 00:53:44,478
takes those Depicts statements
and put them immediately in Commons
783
00:53:44,478 --> 00:53:47,706
right there on the structured data tab.
784
00:53:48,156 --> 00:53:50,297
Mark this as Prominent, if you want.
785
00:53:50,297 --> 00:53:51,929
So, really easy interface,
786
00:53:51,929 --> 00:53:55,347
really fun way
to take a particular section
787
00:53:55,347 --> 00:53:56,998
of your campaign.
788
00:53:56,998 --> 00:54:00,616
The collaboration
between different communities
789
00:54:00,616 --> 00:54:02,573
or different parts of the
Wikidata community
790
00:54:02,573 --> 00:54:03,827
was important for the jury.
791
00:54:03,827 --> 00:54:09,950
So, Histropedia, Wiki in Africa,
and the Structured Data on Commons teams
792
00:54:09,950 --> 00:54:11,519
worked together to help support this
793
00:54:11,519 --> 00:54:12,883
to demonstrate
794
00:54:12,883 --> 00:54:18,907
that mobile-friendly
campaign/competition programs
795
00:54:18,907 --> 00:54:22,850
could be built and could be fun
on Structured Data on Commons
796
00:54:22,850 --> 00:54:24,151
and that it's scalable,
797
00:54:24,151 --> 00:54:28,408
that you can use this, not just for that
one activity for Wikilabs Africa,
798
00:54:28,408 --> 00:54:31,261
but as you can see in the original,
on the front page,
799
00:54:31,261 --> 00:54:33,663
there's lots of campaigns already
800
00:54:33,663 --> 00:54:37,765
and you can just add your own
for your community's project
801
00:54:37,765 --> 00:54:41,038
and run a competition
straight away if you want.
802
00:54:41,038 --> 00:54:47,155
And for that, the jury decided
to award the Multimedia award to ISA.
803
00:54:47,804 --> 00:54:49,731
(applause)
804
00:54:59,904 --> 00:55:02,520
♪ (piano music similar
to Hallelujah by Jeff Buckley) ♪
805
00:55:33,597 --> 00:55:35,939
(applause)
806
00:55:40,447 --> 00:55:44,150
As said in the beginning,
there are way more cool projects out there
807
00:55:44,150 --> 00:55:47,448
that we could award of the Committee,
808
00:55:47,448 --> 00:55:51,030
and also in summer
when the Coolest Tool Award was over,
809
00:55:51,030 --> 00:55:52,996
several people feedbacked.
810
00:55:52,996 --> 00:55:54,170
That was actually great,
811
00:55:54,170 --> 00:55:57,153
but it would also be great to have
an Honorable Mention section.
812
00:55:57,802 --> 00:56:00,583
And as this award is the next award,
813
00:56:00,583 --> 00:56:03,636
we decided to have
an Honorable Mention section
814
00:56:03,636 --> 00:56:06,678
also because we felt less bad,
815
00:56:07,278 --> 00:56:09,721
and it made us feel better
816
00:56:09,721 --> 00:56:14,004
because we could actually
secretly award more projects
817
00:56:14,004 --> 00:56:18,422
when we allowed ourselves to award.
818
00:56:20,281 --> 00:56:25,138
Yeah... and let's have a look
into those projects.
819
00:56:25,138 --> 00:56:28,003
I think you need a second microphone?
820
00:56:29,350 --> 00:56:32,041
Is there a second microphone
somewhere in the room?
821
00:56:32,882 --> 00:56:36,142
Okay, wait. There's someone
with another one.
822
00:56:36,142 --> 00:56:37,356
Thank you.
823
00:56:37,356 --> 00:56:40,345
- Okay, I think that makes it easier.
- Testing, testing.
824
00:56:40,345 --> 00:56:41,895
Test, test, test.
825
00:56:41,895 --> 00:56:47,408
So, in an Honorable Mentions category--
of which there is one category--
826
00:56:49,024 --> 00:56:50,211
DataDrainer.
827
00:56:50,211 --> 00:56:53,424
This allows you to delete content
in clean-up activities.
828
00:56:54,241 --> 00:56:57,584
(Birgit) Histropedia. Everyone knows it.
829
00:56:57,584 --> 00:57:02,024
You can explore history across time,
subjects and events.
830
00:57:02,024 --> 00:57:03,340
(Liam) And Mbabel tool.
831
00:57:03,340 --> 00:57:06,064
This lets you generate narrative stubs
based on Wikidata
832
00:57:06,064 --> 00:57:07,486
quickly, easily, faster.
833
00:57:08,711 --> 00:57:12,436

as the "Swiss knife"
834

among Wikimedia's query tools.
835
00:57:15,079 --> 00:57:18,361
(Liam) They're quite indefinable.
It actually does all the things.
836
00:57:18,361 --> 00:57:21,988
Pywikibot, a library of scripts
that is used across so many tools
837
00:57:21,988 --> 00:57:25,680
and so many projects
to help do mass editing activities.
838
00:57:25,680 --> 00:57:30,383
(Birgit) Quickstatements, that already won
the Coolest Tool award
839
00:57:30,383 --> 00:57:33,151
in summer, 2019.
840
00:57:33,891 --> 00:57:35,147
- That's it.
- Congratulations.
841
00:57:35,147 --> 00:57:37,547
- Congratulations.
- If you're in the room, raise your hand--

(applause)
843
00:57:46,336 --> 00:57:50,548
We don't have a building
on which to project all of those names
844
00:57:50,548 --> 00:57:52,340
at the same time.
845
00:57:52,340 --> 00:57:54,330
But all buildings belong
846
00:57:54,330 --> 00:57:56,679
to the Honorable Mention projects, right?
847
00:57:56,679 --> 00:57:59,358
- All of the buildings that belong to you.
- All of the buildings...
848
00:57:59,358 --> 00:58:00,798
- Yes.
- Yeah, good.
849

(Birgit laughs)
850
00:58:03,221 --> 00:58:06,272
(Birgit) Okay, we are at
the very end of the awards...
851
00:58:07,824 --> 00:58:10,876
(Pianist) Can I make this a longer one
or do you still have something to say?
852
00:58:10,876 --> 00:58:11,968
(laughter)
853
00:58:12,120 --> 00:58:16,208
(Birgit) I think I want to say thank you
and I will show people the credits
854
00:58:16,208 --> 00:58:18,966
and then there is a slide
with all the images on it.
855
00:58:18,966 --> 00:58:21,147
So you can make a longer run, I think.
