Welcome everyone to the very first
WikidataCon Award 2019.
00:04:09.174 --> 00:04:10.846
It's so great that you're here.
00:04:10.846 --> 00:04:13.362
(cheers and applause)
00:04:19.388 --> 00:04:23.222
I have some friends who are actually not
at Wikimedia, that happens,
00:04:23.222 --> 00:04:25.766
and I often tell them stories
about Wikimedia,
00:04:25.766 --> 00:04:27.459
and somehow they all believe
00:04:27.459 --> 00:04:30.541
that Wikimedia is something
like a never-ending party,
00:04:30.541 --> 00:04:34.603
full of goals, awards, fun ideas,
00:04:34.603 --> 00:04:39.488
amazing people--that's true, actually--
and new sticker designs every week.
00:04:39.488 --> 00:04:40.808
(laughter)
00:04:40.808 --> 00:04:43.714
I don't think that their image
of Wikimedia is going to change
00:04:43.714 --> 00:04:45.216
after this award.
00:04:47.108 --> 00:04:49.045
But, actually, seriously,
00:04:49.045 --> 00:04:51.481
I think it's super important
that we celebrate together,
00:04:51.481 --> 00:04:53.425
that we have fun together.
00:04:54.105 --> 00:04:57.328
There's nothing more nice in the world
than being proud of each other
00:04:57.328 --> 00:05:01.310
and actually acknowledge
the work that you do,
00:05:01.310 --> 00:05:03.501
that all of you do here, together.
00:05:04.646 --> 00:05:06.444
That's just so cool.
00:05:09.646 --> 00:05:13.228
2019 was a year of Wikimedia Awards,
00:05:13.228 --> 00:05:17.024
and the WikidataCon Award
is actually the little sister
00:05:17.024 --> 00:05:20.803
of the Coolest Tool Award that took place
in Wikimania in Stockholm
00:05:20.803 --> 00:05:22.550
for those who were there.
00:05:23.350 --> 00:05:28.118
And some people
from the Wikidata community came to me
00:05:28.118 --> 00:05:30.044
after the Coolest Tool Award,
and they were like,
00:05:30.044 --> 00:05:34.210
"We should have this for Wikidata too.
We should have it at WikidataCon."
00:05:34.210 --> 00:05:35.477
And here we are.
00:05:35.477 --> 00:05:38.008
Second iteration, as you know,
if you iterate on things,
00:05:38.008 --> 00:05:42.370
they can only get better,
so WikidataCon Award 2019!
00:05:45.207 --> 00:05:49.088
A few weeks ago, we were asking
for nominations for this award,
00:05:49.088 --> 00:05:52.693
for like your favorite projects,
no matter if it's a tool, initiative,
00:05:52.693 --> 00:05:53.896
outreach activity.
00:05:53.896 --> 00:05:55.591
Anything could be anything.
00:05:55.591 --> 00:06:00.469
I just want to say thank you so much
from our side for sending us nominations
00:06:00.469 --> 00:06:04.423
and actually describing
why this or that project is so cool
00:06:04.423 --> 00:06:05.733
that it should win an award.
00:06:05.733 --> 00:06:07.348
Really, thank you very much.
00:06:10.294 --> 00:06:12.236
We are awarding projects today
00:06:12.236 --> 00:06:14.924
because Wikimedia's all about
collaboration, right?
00:06:14.924 --> 00:06:19.516
But behind the projects,
there are actually people,
00:06:19.516 --> 00:06:21.194
it's the Wikidata community.
00:06:21.194 --> 00:06:23.481
So think of the people
than the award of the projects.
00:06:23.481 --> 00:06:25.814
Don't forget the people,
they're amazing and they're important.
00:06:25.814 --> 00:06:27.480
But we award projects.
00:06:33.176 --> 00:06:35.309
As said, we had a nomination process.
00:06:35.309 --> 00:06:38.909
There was a Selection Committee;
they are all in the room,
00:06:38.909 --> 00:06:42.703
Envel and Sjoerd and Amir and me,
00:06:44.087 --> 00:06:46.965
and there were more people involved.
00:06:46.965 --> 00:06:50.429
Actually, also non-Wikimedia people,
for example, my friend Moona,
00:06:50.739 --> 00:06:56.559
who you will find out what she did later
in this award ceremony was also involved,
00:06:56.559 --> 00:07:01.875
and Liam of course,
as the second host, ringmaster on stage
00:07:01.875 --> 00:07:04.285
who will talk a lot this evening.
00:07:05.168 --> 00:07:08.387
And Lea Laqua, who did
the communication, as always
00:07:08.387 --> 00:07:11.518
and just was awesome and helped us.
00:07:11.518 --> 00:07:14.236
We are awarding projects
in nine different categories:
00:07:14.236 --> 00:07:17.653
Editing, Community Building, Ecosystem,
Newcomer-friendly,
00:07:17.653 --> 00:07:21.153
Wikimedia Integration, Outreach,
Quality, Languages, Multimedia.
00:07:21.153 --> 00:07:27.074
If you have listened to the introduction
that you just see or hear,
00:07:27.074 --> 00:07:31.476
and maybe have even written down
some of the Q numbers,
00:07:31.476 --> 00:07:36.470
you will be able to go on the WikidataCon
Tourist Tour on Sunday, or on Monday,
00:07:37.086 --> 00:07:39.725
and find what is on this map.
00:07:39.725 --> 00:07:42.387
But I'm not going to show you longer.
00:07:43.844 --> 00:07:46.934
Yeah... sorry, I spoiled the next slide.
00:07:46.934 --> 00:07:50.752

who's also involved, our amazing pianist.

And we come to the very first
award category.
00:08:11.538 --> 00:08:16.663
It's, of course, Editing,
because if we don't edit, no data,
00:08:17.123 --> 00:08:18.143
no Wikidata.
00:08:18.143 --> 00:08:20.830
So this is like the source of everything.
00:08:23.478 --> 00:08:28.302
I'm very, very happy to announce
this year's winner
00:08:28.302 --> 00:08:30.408

00:08:42.977 --> 00:08:45.362
(cheers and applause)
00:08:55.162 --> 00:08:59.136
So, I know there is at least one person
who contributed to OpenRefine
00:08:59.136 --> 00:09:00.478
in the audience.
00:09:00.478 --> 00:09:03.034
Can you wave? You don't have
to come up on stage, but wave.
00:09:03.034 --> 00:09:06.547
And everyone else who did something.
Wave. Woo-hoo!
00:09:06.547 --> 00:09:07.789
(applause)
00:09:07.789 --> 00:09:09.141
Thank you so much.
00:09:12.795 --> 00:09:15.668
Okay, I mean, we just can't say
OpenRefine is cool
00:09:15.668 --> 00:09:17.831
and everyone believes it,
and we can go on.
00:09:17.831 --> 00:09:21.398
But actually, maybe some of you don't know
what OpenRefine actually does.
00:09:21.398 --> 00:09:25.471
So for each award,
we also have a project description.
00:09:25.471 --> 00:09:28.047
I'm handing now over to Liam
00:09:28.047 --> 00:09:30.180
who's going to walk you
through the project.
00:09:30.180 --> 00:09:31.275
Yeah.
00:09:31.275 --> 00:09:34.020
So the great irony of me,
00:09:34.020 --> 00:09:36.955
describing one of the most
technically clever tools
00:09:36.955 --> 00:09:38.335
available in the Wikiverse...
00:09:38.335 --> 00:09:40.476
(laughter)
00:09:40.476 --> 00:09:43.621
...to one of the most
well-informed audiences
00:09:43.621 --> 00:09:45.243
about the Wikiverse.
00:09:45.951 --> 00:09:47.336
But if you have used--
00:09:47.843 --> 00:09:50.052
we've seen some of the people
in the audience
00:09:50.052 --> 00:09:52.919
who have been building OpenRefine.
00:09:52.919 --> 00:09:58.214
Who in this audience
has utilized OpenRefine?
00:09:58.214 --> 00:10:00.191
Great! Okay. You don't need to know.
00:10:02.741 --> 00:10:05.294
For the benefit of the tape
and for the benefit of people
00:10:05.294 --> 00:10:09.012
who have not personally
utilized this software--
00:10:09.012 --> 00:10:13.062
while we provide the prize
behind the scenes here--
00:10:13.062 --> 00:10:18.899
the importance of this tool is that
it allows to take messy data and clean it
00:10:18.899 --> 00:10:23.546
to use for uploading or downloading,
or connecting to Wikidata
00:10:23.546 --> 00:10:28.084
and other things, but especially Wikidata.
00:10:28.084 --> 00:10:31.281
Originally, a Google project
that is now being turned into
00:10:31.281 --> 00:10:37.373
a community-led project
for maintenance and of messy data.
00:10:39.055 --> 00:10:45.885
The jury decided this deserved the award
for Editing for two primary criteria.
00:10:45.885 --> 00:10:48.484
One, for the reconciliation function.
00:10:48.543 --> 00:10:52.848
It's one thing to clean messy data
for anyone's use,
00:10:52.848 --> 00:10:57.269
but the ability to then connect it
to the Wikidata items
00:10:57.269 --> 00:10:59.741
to provide the reconciliation service.
00:10:59.741 --> 00:11:01.386
Does this mean "that thing"?
00:11:01.386 --> 00:11:03.843
Does this mean "that thing"?
Yes, no, or maybe.
00:11:03.843 --> 00:11:08.352
It's extraordinarily important
for then taking your personal dataset
00:11:08.352 --> 00:11:12.051
and connecting it
to the wider Wikidata universe,
00:11:12.051 --> 00:11:13.862
semi-autonomously.
00:11:13.862 --> 00:11:18.302
They also describe
that the editing functions,
00:11:18.302 --> 00:11:22.302
the ability to export tabular data
and then use it directly
00:11:22.302 --> 00:11:26.120
or into quick statements
was incredibly useful and powerful.
00:11:26.120 --> 00:11:27.514
And for those reasons,
00:11:27.514 --> 00:11:32.990
the Committee decided that OpenRefine
deserves the Editing Award
00:11:32.990 --> 00:11:35.702
for the inaugural Wikidata Awards.
00:11:37.161 --> 00:11:38.897
(applause)
00:11:42.420 --> 00:11:47.904
And so for the actual presentation
of the award itself,
00:11:47.904 --> 00:11:50.887
given this is a project on Wiki...
00:11:52.542 --> 00:11:55.514
We are going to see now, live...
00:11:57.471 --> 00:11:59.006
Oh, wait a minute...
00:12:02.737 --> 00:12:06.670
Sorry... it's just... we need it because--
00:12:08.037 --> 00:12:10.293
As you see, nothing is here.
00:12:13.066 --> 00:12:14.904
(soft giggles)
00:12:15.734 --> 00:12:17.719
- But...
- (Liam) Hopefully, this works.
00:12:18.097 --> 00:12:19.449
(Birgit) I hope it works.
00:12:21.951 --> 00:12:23.891
(Liam) If you refresh the page...
00:12:25.123 --> 00:12:28.456
(Birgit) Oh... we have a bug,
I think, in the process?
00:12:28.926 --> 00:12:30.879
(laughter)
00:12:34.063 --> 00:12:37.054
(Birgit) Imagine that the award
is already here on the page.
00:12:37.054 --> 00:12:38.787
(laughter)
00:12:38.922 --> 00:12:40.094
(applause)
00:12:40.094 --> 00:12:42.190
Go back and describe the picture.
00:12:43.467 --> 00:12:48.143
Okay. So, it will happen soon.
We'll check later in the day.
00:12:48.409 --> 00:12:49.625
(laughter)
00:12:49.625 --> 00:12:51.665
But I can show you something here.
00:12:53.156 --> 00:12:56.177
So that map that was shown earlier
00:12:56.177 --> 00:12:59.444
was significant
for the purposes of the award
00:13:00.544 --> 00:13:05.357
because this is... you did the work
of taking these photographs,
00:13:05.357 --> 00:13:08.021
so you should describe what the award is.
00:13:09.564 --> 00:13:12.177
So, Wikidata is in our hearts, right?
00:13:12.177 --> 00:13:15.816
But for a moment, last Sunday evening,
00:13:15.816 --> 00:13:19.404
it was also in a very public space
[on there] in Berlin,
00:13:20.455 --> 00:13:24.004
So we went through the streets,
not to random buildings
00:13:24.005 --> 00:13:26.855
but to specific buildings--
which ones you need to find out.
00:13:26.855 --> 00:13:31.102
It's an interactive award,
so it's kind of a riddle for you.
00:13:32.039 --> 00:13:35.884
I mean, this one is probably obvious
that it's Technikmuseum,
00:13:35.884 --> 00:13:38.674
but I can promise you
the others are not that easy.
00:13:39.980 --> 00:13:44.396
And so we projected it to the walls
of the buildings that we found
00:13:44.396 --> 00:13:49.295
kind of fit the category
the awards get awarded in,
00:13:50.963 --> 00:13:52.942
and had it for a moment
in the public space
00:13:52.942 --> 00:13:54.431
and took a photo of that.
00:13:55.551 --> 00:13:57.243
That's the story of the award.
00:13:59.596 --> 00:14:01.023
Touching, right?
00:14:01.023 --> 00:14:02.441
(laughter)
00:14:02.441 --> 00:14:08.758
Well, the idea is we provide the "image,"
the one-time-only piece of public ad,

00:14:13.333 --> 00:14:15.799

00:14:15.799 --> 00:14:18.225

00:14:22.112 --> 00:14:23.340
- Okay.
- Nope.
00:14:23.340 --> 00:14:28.087
Okay. So just use your imagination,
and we go on to the next...
00:14:28.087 --> 00:14:29.757
I'm sure you have it.
00:14:29.757 --> 00:14:31.871
- Oh, the Wi-Fi is off.
- (man) No.
00:14:31.871 --> 00:14:33.958
- Ours? Yeah, it's not us.
- That's the Internet.
00:14:33.958 --> 00:14:35.494
It's not our task.
00:14:36.999 --> 00:14:38.331
- We just go, right?
- Yeah.
00:14:38.331 --> 00:14:40.151
Okay, cool. Music.

Oh, no, wait. Wrong direction...
00:14:55.747 --> 00:14:58.634
Okay. Other than editing,
00:14:58.634 --> 00:15:01.185
what is important for Wikidata
Community Building?
00:15:01.185 --> 00:15:06.482
Any activity that helps to develop
or to strengthen a community,
00:15:06.482 --> 00:15:09.865
and we're like way, way...
way, way more activities
00:15:09.865 --> 00:15:12.266
that you can possibly award in the world.
00:15:12.266 --> 00:15:18.460
But in the end,
there's a winner for this year.
00:15:21.774 --> 00:15:23.612
And the winner is...
00:15:23.624 --> 00:15:26.001
♪ (dramatic piano music) ♪
00:15:28.755 --> 00:15:30.571
WikiProject India!
00:15:30.571 --> 00:15:33.274
(cheers and applause)
00:15:43.257 --> 00:15:44.517
Congratulations.
00:15:44.517 --> 00:15:46.752
I think maybe
there are people in the room.
00:15:46.752 --> 00:15:48.988
Can you wave if you are here?
00:15:48.988 --> 00:15:51.116
Yay! Cool!
00:15:51.116 --> 00:15:52.544
(applause)
00:15:52.544 --> 00:15:54.904
Thank you so much. Congratulations!
00:15:58.028 --> 00:16:00.011
And I'm handing it over to you, I guess.
00:16:00.011 --> 00:16:01.723
We can also try the photo thing again?
00:16:01.723 --> 00:16:03.435
Maybe, maybe?
00:16:04.710 --> 00:16:06.056
- No.
- Okay, no.
00:16:06.056 --> 00:16:07.971
That was a definite "no" for me.
00:16:09.437 --> 00:16:12.944
So, while we upload that file to Commons
00:16:12.944 --> 00:16:16.807
and eventually place it
on the project page itself
00:16:16.807 --> 00:16:19.602
as the award, it's the trophy,
for the project page,
00:16:19.602 --> 00:16:24.474
Wikiproject India, which in my opinion,
has the coolest logo award.
00:16:25.970 --> 00:16:27.404
Does anyone...
00:16:27.404 --> 00:16:30.290
are there any other
Wikiprojects in Wikidata
00:16:30.290 --> 00:16:35.885
that utilize the national flag logo
with the Wikidata bars?
00:16:38.309 --> 00:16:39.444
I mean, that's pretty cool.
00:16:39.444 --> 00:16:43.992
So, Wikidata Project India
as would be, hopefully, fairly evident
00:16:43.992 --> 00:16:50.137
is about for and by the Indian community,
the languages of the Indian sub-continent
00:16:50.137 --> 00:16:55.762
and supporting the content
and the contributors
00:16:55.762 --> 00:16:59.788
to that geography culture history.
00:17:01.151 --> 00:17:04.187
The jury decided
00:17:04.187 --> 00:17:08.653
that this was particularly
worthy of this award.
00:17:08.653 --> 00:17:11.401
This community was
particularly worthy of this award
00:17:11.401 --> 00:17:16.474
because of its ability to share skills
to and among each other,
00:17:16.474 --> 00:17:20.887
the providing offline groups
to run technical workshops,
00:17:20.887 --> 00:17:23.764
to run editathons,
to run upload activities,
00:17:23.764 --> 00:17:25.793
label translation days,
00:17:25.793 --> 00:17:29.363
various kinds of projects
in real life and online
00:17:29.363 --> 00:17:33.457
to build a community
that provides skills to each other
00:17:33.867 --> 00:17:40.249
and builds stability and community
locally is fantastic,
00:17:40.249 --> 00:17:44.732
is worthy of attention
for its community communication
00:17:44.732 --> 00:17:49.515
among itself and to the wider Wikiverse
through a regular newsletter
00:17:49.515 --> 00:17:51.715
and active accounts on social media,
00:17:51.715 --> 00:17:55.649
and for the amount of content
that they have produced
00:17:55.649 --> 00:17:58.912
for and by, and about their subject area.
00:17:59.532 --> 00:18:02.245
This is an image, also from Commons,
00:18:02.245 --> 00:18:05.461
of one period of time
changes data ingestion
00:18:05.461 --> 00:18:08.250
about a particular state, West Bengal.
00:18:09.523 --> 00:18:12.681
Some of the example statistics
there in the bottom:
00:18:13.993 --> 00:18:18.515
50 India properties,
specifically 13,000 individual hospitals
00:18:18.515 --> 00:18:21.663
now have Wikidata items about them.
00:18:21.663 --> 00:18:23.269
So there's been an incredible increase
00:18:23.269 --> 00:18:27.619
in the quality and the quantity
of content about India,
00:18:27.619 --> 00:18:30.486
thanks largely to this community.
00:18:31.339 --> 00:18:33.276
(audience softly cheers)
00:18:33.276 --> 00:18:34.569
Congratulations.
00:18:34.569 --> 00:18:36.549

00:18:51.904 --> 00:18:54.004
(Birgit) Okay.
00:18:55.341 --> 00:19:00.369
So, let's have a look again,
WikiProject India.
00:19:03.948 --> 00:19:05.640
(audience giggling)
00:19:08.557 --> 00:19:11.689
I've seen it. I actually looked at
OpenRefine a second ago,
00:19:11.689 --> 00:19:12.895
it's already there.
00:19:12.895 --> 00:19:15.942
If you want to go back in history
and look in Wikidata.
00:19:17.409 --> 00:19:18.908
You go over the...
00:19:18.908 --> 00:19:20.726
There's a tab there. Open the tab.
00:19:21.420 --> 00:19:22.819
Which tab?
00:19:23.094 --> 00:19:24.304
Oh, no...
00:19:27.936 --> 00:19:29.386
Oh, okay.
00:19:31.036 --> 00:19:32.929
Ta-da! Yoo-hoo!
00:19:33.279 --> 00:19:34.512

♪ (short piano chord) ♪

We're doing this for the first time,
so next year it will be...
00:19:42.285 --> 00:19:43.792
more smooth.
00:19:46.424 --> 00:19:48.442
Um... okay.
00:19:49.419 --> 00:19:50.502
Yup.
00:19:50.752 --> 00:19:53.393
Ta-daaa!

00:19:53.393 --> 00:19:55.483

00:19:59.115 --> 00:20:00.429
Alright.
00:20:06.931 --> 00:20:10.772
So, the next category
is for category Ecosystem.
00:20:10.772 --> 00:20:13.983
That's the word
that we often use for anything...
00:20:17.544 --> 00:20:22.179
that shows how connected Wikidata is
in the world with other projects,
00:20:22.179 --> 00:20:24.795
partners, and so on.
00:20:24.795 --> 00:20:27.027
I think it's actually
a great word. I like it.
00:20:27.822 --> 00:20:29.739
Ecosystem, it sounds nice.
00:20:30.642 --> 00:20:36.358
And as in every other category,
we have a winner here for this year.
00:20:37.132 --> 00:20:38.612
And the winner is...
00:20:38.812 --> 00:20:41.179
♪ (dramatic piano music) ♪
00:20:43.614 --> 00:20:44.965
Sum of All Paintings!
00:20:44.965 --> 00:20:47.030

00:20:54.108 --> 00:20:58.130
Okay, you are also here.
Can you wave so that people can see you?
00:20:58.914 --> 00:21:00.847
(cheers and applause)
00:21:05.914 --> 00:21:10.867
Okay. Let's have a deeper look
into Sum of All Paintings.
00:21:12.479 --> 00:21:14.229
While we upload the file.
00:21:14.229 --> 00:21:16.776
The files themselves,
the buildings themselves
00:21:16.776 --> 00:21:20.746
are significant to the category,
00:21:20.746 --> 00:21:25.624
but to find out why,
you might have to ask later.
00:21:25.624 --> 00:21:30.326
Sum of All Paintings, SoAP,
does not have a logo of its own
00:21:30.326 --> 00:21:34.143
so these are for Commons pictures
that depict soap bubbles...
00:21:34.143 --> 00:21:36.924
(laughter)
00:21:36.924 --> 00:21:38.375
...of many.
00:21:38.375 --> 00:21:43.931
A surprisingly large number of paintings
about soap and soap bubbles.
00:21:43.937 --> 00:21:45.257
I kid you not.
00:21:45.267 --> 00:21:48.840
So, Sum of All Paintings
was the brainchild
00:21:48.840 --> 00:21:55.347
to create a Wikidata item
about every notable painting.
00:21:55.777 --> 00:22:00.564
Notable in the context of
is hung in a public gallery,
00:22:00.564 --> 00:22:05.082
a major gallery, or is painted by a person
who is known as a famous painter.
00:22:05.082 --> 00:22:09.265
Not every painting that has ever existed,
but every notable painting.
00:22:09.265 --> 00:22:15.949
This has produced lots of work lists
that have resulted from that
00:22:15.949 --> 00:22:20.866
and lots of side projects around that,
as in Ecosystem.
00:22:20.866 --> 00:22:24.324
So, every painter, every collection.
00:22:24.754 --> 00:22:29.401
What made this project cool
from the perspective of the jury
00:22:29.401 --> 00:22:34.789
was the scale of the leadership,
00:22:34.789 --> 00:22:37.029
of the quality, and of the impact.
00:22:37.861 --> 00:22:40.899
These are some of the demonstrations
of the work lists,
00:22:40.899 --> 00:22:43.262
demonstration of the content.
00:22:43.262 --> 00:22:45.796
Don't expect to read this.
It's scrolling through quickly
00:22:45.796 --> 00:22:48.879
to demonstrate the sheer volume
of work behind it,
00:22:48.879 --> 00:22:52.780
the leadership, the tools,
the processes, the workflows,
00:22:52.780 --> 00:22:56.533
this you might recognize
has now been turned into [integravity]
00:22:57.153 --> 00:23:02.130
which is a tool usable by other projects
for their workflow management
00:23:02.130 --> 00:23:05.014
and quality assessment criteria.
00:23:05.364 --> 00:23:10.411
The consistently high standard
of the items at the upload stage
00:23:10.899 --> 00:23:13.499
and also at the mass upload stage,
00:23:13.499 --> 00:23:19.566
and then also the individual manual,
careful work to curate items
00:23:19.946 --> 00:23:24.502
at an individual
and as a handcrafted list level.
00:23:24.502 --> 00:23:28.723
So it really shows the breadth
of quality and quantity
00:23:29.333 --> 00:23:31.705
of the Wikidata ecosystem,
00:23:31.705 --> 00:23:35.817
and the impact Sum of All Paintings
00:23:35.817 --> 00:23:39.219
has proven incredibly important
00:23:39.219 --> 00:23:45.478
for demonstrating that GLAM datasets
can work with each other,
00:23:46.151 --> 00:23:49.459
at scale and openly.
00:23:50.507 --> 00:23:56.520
The interoperability of Open Glam
as demonstrable by Sum of All Paintings
00:23:56.520 --> 00:24:01.368
has improved the viability
and the light bulb moment
00:24:01.368 --> 00:24:04.323
for so many people in the cultural sector
00:24:04.683 --> 00:24:09.868
that the jury decided
this won the award for Ecosystem.
00:24:10.835 --> 00:24:12.799
(applause)
00:24:20.814 --> 00:24:22.940

People who are involved
in Ateliers Wikidata à Paris,
00:25:21.797 --> 00:25:24.838
please wave that we can see you.
00:25:24.838 --> 00:25:25.976
Cool! Thank you.
00:25:25.976 --> 00:25:27.714
(applause)
00:25:29.733 --> 00:25:32.501
So there's actually a fun story
what happened
00:25:32.501 --> 00:25:39.103
when we were trying to find a good spot
to project Ateliers Wikidata à Paris
00:25:39.103 --> 00:25:41.824
against the walls
of a certain building in Berlin.
00:25:41.824 --> 00:25:44.706
We were like trying
and holding up a projector,
00:25:44.706 --> 00:25:48.326
and suddenly a person approached us
and maybe you are watching,
00:25:48.326 --> 00:25:50.200
it was really nice to meet you.
00:25:51.463 --> 00:25:56.285
So the person approached us and said,
"Oh! I just edited Wikidata yesterday."
00:25:57.775 --> 00:26:02.281
And we were like, "Oh, that's great.
You didn't see anything, okay?"
00:26:03.045 --> 00:26:04.445
(laughter)
00:26:04.712 --> 00:26:07.373
And I think he didn't reveal
the secret, that's really nice.
00:26:07.373 --> 00:26:09.440
It was really nice to meet you. Thank you.
00:26:09.440 --> 00:26:11.675
But just as a tip,
00:26:11.675 --> 00:26:15.885
if you ever plan a secret Wikidata mission
and no one should know,
00:26:15.885 --> 00:26:18.841
be aware that Wikidata's editors
are everywhere
00:26:18.841 --> 00:26:20.902
and you would not think, right?
00:26:20.902 --> 00:26:23.098
So it can happen anytime.
00:26:25.315 --> 00:26:26.491
Okay.
00:26:27.983 --> 00:26:29.450
Let's have a look.
00:26:30.080 --> 00:26:32.020
(Liam) I'm sorry...
(Birgit laughs)
00:26:32.680 --> 00:26:37.671
The Wikidata Ateliers à Paris is a series
of newcomer-friendly workshops,
00:26:37.671 --> 00:26:42.271
introductory workshops
at the Wikimedia France office in Paris
00:26:42.271 --> 00:26:48.005
that have been held over several years
on a consistent schedule
00:26:48.005 --> 00:26:51.855
to build a community
to be a welcoming home
00:26:51.855 --> 00:26:54.556
for a large city,
00:26:54.556 --> 00:27:00.070
to slowly grow
and steadily invite new people
00:27:00.070 --> 00:27:02.507
and bring them into our family.
00:27:02.807 --> 00:27:09.122
The jury decided that this was worthy
of particular mention
00:27:09.862 --> 00:27:13.276
of the various kinds
of outreach to newcomers
00:27:13.276 --> 00:27:15.765
and newbies across the Wikiverse...
00:27:15.765 --> 00:27:18.100
there we have the plushy matching.
00:27:19.840 --> 00:27:21.899
...because of its consistency.
00:27:22.564 --> 00:27:26.114
So there are lots of outreach activities
that have happened
00:27:26.114 --> 00:27:31.600
for newcomers across Wikimedia
and across Wikidata in particular.
00:27:35.702 --> 00:27:39.307
But this one has been going for years.
00:27:39.307 --> 00:27:41.887
That is quite impressive...
00:27:43.879 --> 00:27:47.141
to keep working at something like that,
00:27:47.141 --> 00:27:51.528
and equally, obviously,
for its welcoming atmosphere
00:27:51.528 --> 00:27:54.376
and consistently welcoming
atmosphere over that time.
00:27:54.376 --> 00:27:56.854
The Newcomer-friendly award
goes to a project
00:27:56.854 --> 00:28:00.894
that has demonstrated its friendliness
to newcomers, quite naturally.
00:28:00.894 --> 00:28:04.969
So, the award is now...
00:28:06.369 --> 00:28:08.005
Take a look, take a look.
00:28:08.825 --> 00:28:10.581
(cheers and applause)
00:28:10.581 --> 00:28:12.048
...on the topic page.
00:28:12.374 --> 00:28:14.613
(applause)
00:28:17.952 --> 00:28:21.758
All of these awards are, of course,
going onto the top front corner
00:28:21.758 --> 00:28:23.786
of these project pages right now.
00:28:23.786 --> 00:28:26.868
Feel free to move them
and place them where else you want,
00:28:26.868 --> 00:28:27.888
but for the moment,
00:28:27.888 --> 00:28:30.961
we're just stamping them
in the front corner of the Wikipage.
00:28:34.900 --> 00:28:36.131
Alright.

♪ (happy piano music) ♪
00:29:00.562 --> 00:29:04.149
Wikimedia Integration
is our next category.
00:29:05.473 --> 00:29:09.089
We have some examples today
in the birthday presents
00:29:09.089 --> 00:29:13.095
that would also fit under this category,
Wikimedia Integration
00:29:14.212 --> 00:29:17.609
and many, many other projects
and approaches.
00:29:17.996 --> 00:29:20.977
And also here, we have
the winner for this year.

00:29:29.656 --> 00:29:32.484
Wikidata Infobox on Commons!
00:29:32.484 --> 00:29:34.576
(applause)
00:29:43.001 --> 00:29:45.049
Yeah. Thank you, Mike.
00:29:45.049 --> 00:29:46.642
(laughter)
00:29:50.512 --> 00:29:55.441
Yeah, it was one of the most
difficult photos to take
00:29:55.441 --> 00:30:00.690
because this is a window,
as you can see, a glass window.
00:30:00.690 --> 00:30:04.264
But we kind of fitted, maybe not to...
it fitted to the category,
00:30:04.264 --> 00:30:06.451
maybe not to Wikidata Infobox
on Commons so much,
00:30:06.451 --> 00:30:08.405
but it fitted to the category.
00:30:09.041 --> 00:30:11.597
And thank you very much,
and we are having a deeper look
00:30:11.597 --> 00:30:16.463
into what actually Wikidata's
Infobox on Commons does.
00:30:18.148 --> 00:30:19.163
Yeah.
00:30:19.163 --> 00:30:25.749
So, as any of you who were here
for the birthday presents
00:30:25.749 --> 00:30:27.414
will have heard this,
00:30:27.414 --> 00:30:33.009
has since been improved and expanded
in terms of Wikidata on Commons.
00:30:33.493 --> 00:30:36.910
But the jury found that this was
particularly important and noteworthy
00:30:36.910 --> 00:30:39.093
for the Integration category.
00:30:39.093 --> 00:30:41.695
Wikidata Infobox on Commons
is the template
00:30:41.695 --> 00:30:46.464
that allows you to put
a Wikipedia-like box of structured data
00:30:46.464 --> 00:30:50.777
on the category about that thing
on Wikimedia Commons.
00:30:50.777 --> 00:30:54.754
Most important, because it's multilingual.
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
00:31:00.151 --> 00:31:04.549
because it works in all languages
with one template.
00:31:05.674 --> 00:31:11.992
This is one of Mike's model examples
00:31:11.992 --> 00:31:15.803
for the project Telescopes.
00:31:20.692 --> 00:31:24.787
The importance of the project...
00:31:24.787 --> 00:31:26.721
being the complexity.
00:31:26.721 --> 00:31:30.727
It's hard to make a screenshot
of a long infobox.
00:31:30.923 --> 00:31:32.488
(laughter)
00:31:33.956 --> 00:31:37.089
So the jury found this project
was particularly useful
00:31:37.089 --> 00:31:40.339
for Wikidata integration
for three main criteria.
00:31:40.339 --> 00:31:43.454
One is the flexibility.
00:31:43.454 --> 00:31:49.383
It's the fact that this one template
works with over 300 properties
00:31:50.400 --> 00:31:52.183
and can pull them in...
00:31:52.183 --> 00:31:56.884
with one field.
00:31:57.496 --> 00:32:01.246
The scale of this single tool
00:32:01.246 --> 00:32:04.281
was the second criteria
the jury found really important.
00:32:04.281 --> 00:32:05.311
That this is used
00:32:05.311 --> 00:32:08.681
across two and a half million
categories on Commons,
00:32:08.681 --> 00:32:13.457
demonstrates that it is useful
to such a huge proportion
00:32:13.457 --> 00:32:18.750
of one of the most utilized
sister projects in the Wikiverse.
00:32:18.750 --> 00:32:22.503
And that you can pull together
these two projects
00:32:22.503 --> 00:32:27.849
to such a high degree of connectivity
at such a high scale
00:32:27.849 --> 00:32:30.364
is a fantastic demonstration.
00:32:30.364 --> 00:32:33.694
And demonstration
proof to Wikimedia Commons
00:32:33.694 --> 00:32:39.155
and to the rest of the Wikimedia projects
00:32:39.155 --> 00:32:44.580
that Wikidata can serve information
that is useful, that is multilingual,
00:32:44.580 --> 00:32:47.197
that is available right now.
00:32:48.347 --> 00:32:53.347
Arguably, first and best,
in terms of demonstrations
00:32:53.347 --> 00:32:57.898
that Wikidata, as a service delivery,
as a support for the other projects
00:32:57.898 --> 00:33:00.831
has shown this
00:33:00.831 --> 00:33:05.509
to the non-Wikidata
community of Wikimedia
00:33:05.509 --> 00:33:07.169
most successfully.
00:33:07.659 --> 00:33:11.609
So, for that, we give you an award.
00:33:12.094 --> 00:33:14.394
(applause)
00:33:24.211 --> 00:33:25.895
Soon... we'll give you an award soon.
00:33:25.895 --> 00:33:28.178
Ah, here it is.
Of course, it is below the infobox.
00:33:29.130 --> 00:33:30.937
The infobox is long, right?
00:33:30.937 --> 00:33:32.737
It's a long infobox.
00:33:32.737 --> 00:33:37.995
And this image manages to combine
Wikipedia, Wikidata, Commons,
00:33:37.995 --> 00:33:41.646

00:34:03.599 --> 00:34:05.605
(Mike) The infobox is based on [a poem]
00:34:05.605 --> 00:34:08.128
written by [Doug Taylor], [Use of Access].
00:34:08.128 --> 00:34:09.874
He deserves a lot of the credit for that.
00:34:09.874 --> 00:34:13.972
And all the feedback that comes to me
is being given to the Infobox.
00:34:13.972 --> 00:34:16.669
Whenever something's not quite right,
people will come and say that,
00:34:16.669 --> 00:34:18.005
and that's incredibly useful.
00:34:18.005 --> 00:34:20.254
So thank you for anyone who has done that.
00:34:20.254 --> 00:34:21.318
(Birgit) Woo-hoo!
00:34:21.318 --> 00:34:22.596

00:34:25.802 --> 00:34:30.105
Yeah, we wish to reemphasize
for this award and for all awards,
00:34:30.105 --> 00:34:35.211
they're often in some individual people
who have done a lot of visible work
00:34:35.211 --> 00:34:37.878
for which they deserve credit.
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,
00:34:43.697 --> 00:34:47.214
and all the feedback
provided by users around
00:34:47.214 --> 00:34:50.269
in more or less formal ways,
00:34:50.269 --> 00:34:56.914
all of which deserves some credit
for bringing these projects to fruition.
00:34:58.855 --> 00:35:01.317
- This is why we award projects...
- Not people.
00:35:01.317 --> 00:35:02.583
...not people.
00:35:02.583 --> 00:35:06.407

Yeah. It was good.
It was actually really nice.

Next category is Outreach, very important.
00:35:33.187 --> 00:35:38.323
We want to grow and become more people
and connect to each other.
00:35:38.323 --> 00:35:42.496
Also here, we have a lot of activities
that would deserve recognition
00:35:42.496 --> 00:35:48.930

you always go to the main train station,
take a train, and start the outreach work.

00:36:55.500 --> 00:37:00.062
This is a series of thematic edit-a-thons
and presentations
00:37:00.062 --> 00:37:03.142
at the University of São Paulo in Brazil.
00:37:03.142 --> 00:37:07.010
Monthly meetings
which have brought together researchers--
00:37:07.010 --> 00:37:10.843
so academics, people
in the professional sectors like GLAM,
00:37:10.843 --> 00:37:13.460
students, and Wikimedians
00:37:13.460 --> 00:37:17.969
who might be now or might formerly be
in any of those categories,
00:37:18.529 --> 00:37:21.343
to work together, to learn from each other
00:37:21.343 --> 00:37:26.791
and share their experiences
in a regular project,
00:37:26.791 --> 00:37:29.543
a regular community forum.
00:37:30.994 --> 00:37:34.872
The jury found this project
00:37:34.872 --> 00:37:39.894
particularly worthy
for recognition in Outreach
00:37:39.894 --> 00:37:41.712
because of its sustainability.
00:37:41.712 --> 00:37:45.630
So it has been, like some
of the other prizes this evening,
00:37:45.630 --> 00:37:48.397
has been running for a number of years,
00:37:48.397 --> 00:37:53.230
has run regular activities
over that period of time
00:37:53.230 --> 00:37:54.582
on different topics.
00:37:54.582 --> 00:37:57.971
The consistency of that outreach work
00:37:57.971 --> 00:37:59.781
is significant.
00:38:00.572 --> 00:38:06.008
The practicality of project
has been noted.
00:38:06.008 --> 00:38:11.664
So that is the attempt to provide skills,
practical skills to people
00:38:11.664 --> 00:38:14.447
in this particular community,
this particular language
00:38:14.447 --> 00:38:19.013
that is shareable among
that wider community of the language,
00:38:19.013 --> 00:38:23.757
so it's one city, but across
an entire language community,
00:38:23.757 --> 00:38:27.223
which is on several continents,
00:38:27.223 --> 00:38:33.243
and the focus on bringing people
from different Wikimedia projects,
00:38:33.243 --> 00:38:35.471
not just talking to Wikidata people,
00:38:35.471 --> 00:38:39.863
but talking to Wikipedia people,
to Commons people, Wikisource people,
00:38:39.863 --> 00:38:42.745
and connecting each other
with these new skills
00:38:42.745 --> 00:38:45.912
about how Wikidata can be helpful to them,
00:38:46.432 --> 00:38:50.181
particularly for,
as the nomination statement
00:38:50.181 --> 00:38:52.208
also pointed out,
00:38:52.208 --> 00:38:55.370
to focus on a Global South community
00:38:56.630 --> 00:38:58.513
in doing that work.
00:38:58.513 --> 00:39:04.740
This is not people in the office
in America or Germany,
00:39:04.740 --> 00:39:09.537
this is people in the community
working to share skills to each other.
00:39:09.537 --> 00:39:11.590
Finally, the integration, as mentioned.
00:39:11.590 --> 00:39:15.425
The work across different parts
of the Wikimedia ecosystem
00:39:15.425 --> 00:39:20.435
has made Wikidata highly accepted,
adopted, and integrated
00:39:20.435 --> 00:39:26.627
across the Portuguese Wikimedia projects
in a way that is notable
00:39:26.627 --> 00:39:30.626
compared to some of the other large
language communities.
00:39:30.626 --> 00:39:33.876
This is a screenshot
of the YouTube channel
00:39:33.876 --> 00:39:37.110
of all of the videos from this series.
00:39:37.110 --> 00:39:39.360
They're all available,
they're all live-streamed,
00:39:39.360 --> 00:39:42.681
they've all been shared on Commons
and YouTube, and various platforms.
00:39:42.681 --> 00:39:47.043
So, the ability to then send
that information to other communities
00:39:47.043 --> 00:39:49.461
was part of the design of this project.
00:39:49.461 --> 00:39:52.528
It's not just for São Paulo,
not just for the students,
00:39:52.528 --> 00:39:56.530
or not only for the students,
but for the wider community.
00:39:56.530 --> 00:40:03.531
So, for that, the jury has declared
Wikidata Lab the winner.
00:40:04.179 --> 00:40:06.033

00:40:12.268 --> 00:40:17.616
Which we placed on the top page
of the item about the project.
00:40:19.188 --> 00:40:21.960
Give them the card,
edit the YouTube channel.
00:40:22.857 --> 00:40:24.409
- Or is that...
- Yet...
00:40:24.409 --> 00:40:26.181

00:40:26.605 --> 00:40:28.364
(Liam) So, thank you.

00:40:54.735 --> 00:40:57.094
Woo-hoo!
(cheers and applause)
00:41:01.194 --> 00:41:03.547
I just say quality... quality.
00:41:04.827 --> 00:41:07.091
Our next category, Quality.
00:41:07.091 --> 00:41:11.708
Anything that helps in improving
the quality of Wkidata's data...
00:41:13.814 --> 00:41:15.836
- Wikidata's data?
- Wikidata's?
00:41:15.836 --> 00:41:17.233
Wikidata's data?
00:41:17.233 --> 00:41:18.817
(laughter)
00:41:18.817 --> 00:41:20.284
Wikidata's data?
00:41:21.702 --> 00:41:23.411
Wikidata's data?
00:41:25.621 --> 00:41:27.431
(laughter)
00:41:29.584 --> 00:41:32.317
I should know, actually.
I work for Wikimedia Russia.
00:41:32.317 --> 00:41:36.385
But I don't remember.
I think we said, "Wikidata."
00:41:36.385 --> 00:41:39.285
But maybe only on the third floor?
00:41:42.211 --> 00:41:43.403
Okay... Quality...
00:41:44.931 --> 00:41:47.614
We have a clear winner here.
00:41:47.614 --> 00:41:50.125
♪ (dramatic piano music) ♪
00:41:54.565 --> 00:41:59.674
I'm looking for the winner...
I think I've seen him somewhere here.
00:42:01.046 --> 00:42:02.732
It's a bit hard to see.
00:42:03.042 --> 00:42:05.203
(cheers and applause)
00:42:11.833 --> 00:42:14.344
The winner is Mix'n'match!
00:42:15.788 --> 00:42:18.987
And the main contributor behind that
00:42:18.987 --> 00:42:21.410
is in the 1, 2, 3, 4th row, Magnus.
00:42:23.316 --> 00:42:26.075
Yeah... let's look into it, right?
00:42:30.387 --> 00:42:33.064
- Mix'n'match...
- Mix'n'match.
00:42:33.714 --> 00:42:38.797
So we have the creator of Mix'n'match.
00:42:39.287 --> 00:42:42.564
Has anyone in the room used Mix'n'match?
00:42:43.448 --> 00:42:44.849
(laughter)
00:42:47.065 --> 00:42:50.110
It's an influential project.
00:42:50.880 --> 00:42:54.433
This is a service which allows you
to report authority-control lists,
00:42:54.433 --> 00:43:00.742
lists of vocabularies
from external providers of a list of...
00:43:01.275 --> 00:43:04.849
controlled vocabularies
and connect them, match them
00:43:04.849 --> 00:43:09.037
to Wikidata items, and say, "Yes,
this over in that external repository
00:43:09.037 --> 00:43:11.561
is that in our repository."
00:43:12.759 --> 00:43:17.910
In an automated,
semi-automated manual approach,
00:43:17.910 --> 00:43:22.360
game approach, various methods
of achieving that matching process.
00:43:22.360 --> 00:43:25.112
Create new items,
if it doesn't exist already,
00:43:25.112 --> 00:43:28.545
reject the item if it's not relevant
to Wikidata at all.
00:43:30.301 --> 00:43:36.036
The jury is particularly impressed
by this project for the Quality award
00:43:36.036 --> 00:43:40.784
because it is fundamental now
00:43:40.784 --> 00:43:43.949
to how Wikidata works.
00:43:43.949 --> 00:43:48.515
Introduced in 2003,
Mix'n'match became core.
00:43:48.886 --> 00:43:53.270
Who would consider Mix'n'match
to be a standard part
00:43:53.270 --> 00:43:56.871
of their Wikidata workflow
on almost a daily basis?
00:43:58.238 --> 00:44:00.129
A large proportion of the audience.
00:44:00.722 --> 00:44:02.239
(laughter)
00:44:04.159 --> 00:44:07.512
The influential work of Mix'n'match
00:44:07.512 --> 00:44:11.435
is also noted for this Quality award
00:44:11.435 --> 00:44:16.147
because of its ability to make wide
and deep connections
00:44:16.147 --> 00:44:18.623
of our collections of content
and vocabularies
00:44:18.623 --> 00:44:20.751
to external...
00:44:20.751 --> 00:44:26.032
many external vocabulary lists,
00:44:26.032 --> 00:44:28.212
controlled lists,
00:44:28.212 --> 00:44:31.484
to connect them and make
what has been termed Wikidata,
00:44:31.484 --> 00:44:34.352
termed "the Internet's duct tape,"
00:44:34.352 --> 00:44:39.971
holding all of these disparate systems
that have their own authority lists
00:44:39.971 --> 00:44:41.722
but don't talk to each other,
00:44:41.722 --> 00:44:45.297
and we're able to connect
them all to each other.
00:44:45.297 --> 00:44:50.734
Another description which I heard recently
was the Wood Wide Web,
00:44:51.353 --> 00:44:53.570
as in the mycelial network--
00:44:53.570 --> 00:44:58.571
the root structure underneath the soil
of the forest that is the Internet
00:44:58.571 --> 00:45:01.377
connecting all of the forest together.
00:45:01.377 --> 00:45:04.437
Mix'n'match has become
so fundamental to Wikidata,
00:45:04.437 --> 00:45:08.700
which has made Wikidata so fundamental
to the architecture of the Internet.
00:45:08.700 --> 00:45:11.598
For that, we award it the Quality award.
00:45:19.933 --> 00:45:21.249
(quiet laughter)
00:45:21.249 --> 00:45:23.666
For that, we will award the Quality award.
00:45:23.666 --> 00:45:24.825
(laughter)
00:45:26.124 --> 00:45:28.094
Yeah, congratulations.
00:45:28.571 --> 00:45:30.507
(applause)
00:45:38.938 --> 00:45:41.172
♪ (fun piano music) ♪
00:46:06.801 --> 00:46:08.509
(Birgit) Thank you.
00:46:08.509 --> 00:46:10.509
(applause)
00:46:11.657 --> 00:46:14.882
So as you all know,
this conference has the theme:
00:46:14.882 --> 00:46:16.924
Languages, Wikidata Languages.
00:46:16.924 --> 00:46:21.491
And so, that's why we also have
a category Languages--
00:46:21.991 --> 00:46:26.614
anything that helps to increase
multilingual content and so on, and so on,
00:46:26.614 --> 00:46:28.413
in the category Languages.
00:46:29.247 --> 00:46:32.445
♪ (dramatic piano music) ♪
00:46:37.248 --> 00:46:39.431
(applause)
00:46:39.431 --> 00:46:41.997
Wikidata Menu Challenge!
00:46:46.116 --> 00:46:48.550
We'll talk more about it.
Let's talk about it.
00:46:48.910 --> 00:46:50.833
Alright, let's look at Menu Challenge.
00:46:51.163 --> 00:46:57.002
Do we have anyone who helped create
Menu Challenge here in the audience?
00:46:59.661 --> 00:47:01.975
No? Yes? We have one?
00:47:01.975 --> 00:47:04.018
Do we have anyone who was a participant
00:47:04.018 --> 00:47:07.092
in either of the rounds
of the Menu Challenge?
00:47:07.092 --> 00:47:09.726
A couple here in the audience. Excellent.
00:47:10.075 --> 00:47:13.493
So the Wikidata Menu Challenge #tastydata,
00:47:13.493 --> 00:47:18.464
is a Wikidata label campaign/competition
00:47:18.464 --> 00:47:20.195
that has been run a couple of times
00:47:20.195 --> 00:47:21.461
over the years.
00:47:21.461 --> 00:47:24.475
This is a competition to take a list
00:47:24.475 --> 00:47:29.103
of a fixed vocabulary list about food
00:47:29.103 --> 00:47:34.442
and to self-assigned points
for translating labels, descriptions,
00:47:34.442 --> 00:47:39.380
audio files, photographs
about those food items.
00:47:39.380 --> 00:47:43.825
Both of these works were coordinated
out of Wikimedia Sweden,
00:47:43.825 --> 00:47:46.358
both of these were related
to Swedish events.
00:47:46.358 --> 00:47:48.612
One was a food festival,
00:47:48.612 --> 00:47:53.698
where the eventual translations got placed
as labels at the food festival
00:47:53.698 --> 00:47:55.294
around the park.
00:47:55.294 --> 00:47:59.780
And again, more recently,
Wikimania in Stockholm,
00:47:59.780 --> 00:48:01.678
just a couple of months ago.
00:48:01.678 --> 00:48:06.163
The jury found this project
particularly worthwhile,
00:48:06.163 --> 00:48:08.453
worthy of noting for the Language category
00:48:08.453 --> 00:48:14.805
because of its combination
in real life and online work
00:48:15.364 --> 00:48:19.048
to bring Wikidata out
into the restaurant app
00:48:19.048 --> 00:48:24.067
into the park and the field
and to connect the enjoyableness
00:48:24.067 --> 00:48:28.215
of food editing and fun
and put them into one package.
00:48:29.143 --> 00:48:32.548
Many projects and competitions
and events happened
00:48:32.548 --> 00:48:34.667
entirely behind the computer.
00:48:34.667 --> 00:48:39.533
This as a language campaign
is notable for that connectivity
00:48:39.533 --> 00:48:43.462
to being out and sharing food together.
00:48:43.462 --> 00:48:45.874
There's nothing more international
and multilingual
00:48:45.874 --> 00:48:49.198
than the sharing of food
and sharing of food stories
00:48:49.198 --> 00:48:51.193
and culture around food.
00:48:51.743 --> 00:48:55.149
Multilingualism,
obviously for the language prize,
00:48:55.149 --> 00:48:59.196
was the other criteria
that the jury noted in particular,
00:49:00.066 --> 00:49:02.480
highlighting how Wikidata
00:49:02.480 --> 00:49:05.514
is our multilingual project
in such a fundamental way
00:49:05.514 --> 00:49:11.213
by using core vocabulary
relevant to so many cultures
00:49:11.213 --> 00:49:16.021
about such important topics
that can then be taken forward and used.
00:49:16.021 --> 00:49:21.223
Replicability was the third criteria
that was important for the jury.
00:49:21.223 --> 00:49:25.339
The fact that this can be created quickly,
00:49:25.339 --> 00:49:29.927
that a community can build around
this competition quickly.
00:49:29.927 --> 00:49:32.770
It can be run easily, cheaply,
00:49:32.770 --> 00:49:36.727
minimal infrastructure
to create a useful outcome
00:49:36.727 --> 00:49:39.471
beyond possibly the scope
that you were originally hoping.
00:49:39.471 --> 00:49:43.887
So the ease of use and the ease
of reuse by different people
00:49:43.887 --> 00:49:48.040
for different activities outside food
and outside Sweden, if you want,
00:49:48.640 --> 00:49:50.206
was notable.
00:49:50.206 --> 00:49:55.129
This is the list from
Wikimania Stockholm recently,
00:49:55.129 --> 00:49:58.883
and many people in this audience
were participants in that,
00:49:58.883 --> 00:50:01.696
sharing images, sharing their own words
00:50:01.696 --> 00:50:04.196
and the translations of those words
in their home language.
00:50:04.196 --> 00:50:09.213
So, for that, the jury has awarded
the Languages prize.
00:50:11.268 --> 00:50:12.641
And there we go.
00:50:12.641 --> 00:50:14.501
(applause)
00:50:23.684 --> 00:50:25.919
♪ (calm piano music) ♪
00:51:02.229 --> 00:51:05.817
(Birgit) Unfortunately, we are already
at the end of our award.
00:51:05.817 --> 00:51:07.885
This is the last category.
00:51:08.335 --> 00:51:10.183
(audience) Oh!
00:51:10.183 --> 00:51:14.369
But this is about Multimedia.
Multimedia is actually pretty cool.
00:51:14.369 --> 00:51:15.569
(audience) Mmm.
00:51:15.569 --> 00:51:16.805
And we have the winner here.
00:51:16.805 --> 00:51:18.581
(laughter)
00:51:18.581 --> 00:51:20.831
♪ (dramatic piano music) ♪
00:51:22.755 --> 00:51:24.587
And the winner is...
00:51:25.423 --> 00:51:27.289
- (man) ISA!
- ISA!
00:51:27.289 --> 00:51:29.339
(cheers and applause)
00:51:36.599 --> 00:51:39.440
With the most arty image, we hope.
00:51:40.167 --> 00:51:44.968
So, yeah, I hope you can still read it
but it's ISA, congratulations.
00:51:44.968 --> 00:51:46.859
Are you in the room? Anyone?
00:51:47.289 --> 00:51:49.307
- Over there.
- Yoo-hoo!
00:51:49.307 --> 00:51:51.033
(applause)
00:51:51.033 --> 00:51:52.780
Congratulations!
00:51:52.904 --> 00:51:55.456
Okay. It's yours.
00:51:55.926 --> 00:52:00.170
So, ISA for the Multimedia award,
on a bridge girder.
00:52:03.519 --> 00:52:06.120
Has anyone in the audience
used or been involved
00:52:06.120 --> 00:52:07.972
in one of the ISA campaigns?
00:52:09.936 --> 00:52:11.897
Half the audience here?
00:52:11.897 --> 00:52:16.303
For a relatively new project,
that's really quite impressive.
00:52:16.303 --> 00:52:20.604
This is one of the first projects
to utilize Structured Data on Commons,
00:52:20.604 --> 00:52:24.187
as a third-party, built on top
of Structured Data on Commons.
00:52:24.187 --> 00:52:26.070
which itself is quite new,
00:52:26.070 --> 00:52:30.489
so the ability to then produce new games
00:52:30.489 --> 00:52:33.651
on top of it is fantastic.
00:52:34.119 --> 00:52:38.905
ISA is a multilingual mobile-oriented,
00:52:38.905 --> 00:52:44.963
also desktop project tool game
to add structured data to Commons,
00:52:44.963 --> 00:52:48.717
quickly, easily and fun
in a campaign environment.
00:52:50.195 --> 00:52:53.613
The jury found this particularly cool.
00:52:53.613 --> 00:52:55.899
This is a demonstration
of how to go about it.
00:52:55.899 --> 00:53:00.124
So you choose a campaign
from the homepage.
00:53:00.767 --> 00:53:04.231
You can see there the highlights
of who is the most active user,
00:53:04.231 --> 00:53:06.629
or you can see potentially
different countries
00:53:06.629 --> 00:53:08.977
or different categories
within that competition.
00:53:08.977 --> 00:53:10.854
So you can select your category.
00:53:11.946 --> 00:53:17.543
This is for public arts
in Wikilabs Africa.
00:53:18.532 --> 00:53:23.182
It gives you an image,
you add it to Depicts, statement.
00:53:23.182 --> 00:53:27.233
You can declare it to be prominent
within the field, within the image itself,
00:53:27.233 --> 00:53:30.324
add the other ones that
might not be quite so prominent,
00:53:31.761 --> 00:53:33.237
and Save.
00:53:35.961 --> 00:53:38.894
And that takes you directly across to...
00:53:41.500 --> 00:53:44.478
takes those Depicts statements
and put them immediately in Commons
00:53:44.478 --> 00:53:47.706
right there on the structured data tab.
00:53:48.156 --> 00:53:50.297
Mark this as Prominent, if you want.
00:53:50.297 --> 00:53:51.929
So, really easy interface,
00:53:51.929 --> 00:53:55.347
really fun way
to take a particular section
00:53:55.347 --> 00:53:56.998
of your campaign.
00:53:56.998 --> 00:54:00.616
The collaboration
between different communities
00:54:00.616 --> 00:54:02.573
or different parts of the
Wikidata community
00:54:02.573 --> 00:54:03.827
was important for the jury.
00:54:03.827 --> 00:54:09.950
So, Histropedia, Wiki in Africa,
and the Structured Data on Commons teams
00:54:09.950 --> 00:54:11.519
worked together to help support this
00:54:11.519 --> 00:54:12.883
to demonstrate
00:54:12.883 --> 00:54:18.907
that mobile-friendly
campaign/competition programs
00:54:18.907 --> 00:54:22.850
could be built and could be fun
on Structured Data on Commons
00:54:22.850 --> 00:54:24.151
and that it's scalable,
00:54:24.151 --> 00:54:28.408
that you can use this, not just for that
one activity for Wikilabs Africa,
00:54:28.408 --> 00:54:31.261
but as you can see in the original,
on the front page,
00:54:31.261 --> 00:54:33.663
there's lots of campaigns already
00:54:33.663 --> 00:54:37.765
and you can just add your own
for your community's project
00:54:37.765 --> 00:54:41.038
and run a competition
straight away if you want.
00:54:41.038 --> 00:54:47.155
And for that, the jury decided
to award the Multimedia award to ISA.
00:54:47.804 --> 00:54:49.731
(applause)
00:54:59.904 --> 00:55:02.520
♪ (piano music similar
to Hallelujah by Jeff Buckley) ♪
00:55:33.597 --> 00:55:35.939
(applause)
00:55:40.447 --> 00:55:44.150
As said in the beginning,
there are way more cool projects out there
00:55:44.150 --> 00:55:47.448
that we could award of the Committee,
00:55:47.448 --> 00:55:51.030
and also in summer
when the Coolest Tool Award was over,
00:55:51.030 --> 00:55:52.996
several people feedbacked.
00:55:52.996 --> 00:55:54.170
That was actually great,
00:55:54.170 --> 00:55:57.153
but it would also be great to have
an Honorable Mention section.
00:55:57.802 --> 00:56:00.583
And as this award is the next award,
00:56:00.583 --> 00:56:03.636
we decided to have
an Honorable Mention section
00:56:03.636 --> 00:56:06.678
also because we felt less bad,
00:56:07.278 --> 00:56:09.721
and it made us feel better
00:56:09.721 --> 00:56:14.004
because we could actually
secretly award more projects
00:56:14.004 --> 00:56:18.422
when we allowed ourselves to award.
00:56:20.281 --> 00:56:25.138
Yeah... and let's have a look
into those projects.
00:56:25.138 --> 00:56:28.003
I think you need a second microphone?
00:56:29.350 --> 00:56:32.041
Is there a second microphone
somewhere in the room?
00:56:32.882 --> 00:56:36.142
Okay, wait. There's someone
with another one.
00:56:36.142 --> 00:56:37.356
Thank you.
00:56:37.356 --> 00:56:40.345
- Okay, I think that makes it easier.
- Testing, testing.
00:56:40.345 --> 00:56:41.895
Test, test, test.
00:56:41.895 --> 00:56:47.408
So, in an Honorable Mentions category--
of which there is one category--
00:56:49.024 --> 00:56:50.211
DataDrainer.
00:56:50.211 --> 00:56:53.424
This allows you to delete content
in clean-up activities.
00:56:54.241 --> 00:56:57.584
(Birgit) Histropedia. Everyone knows it.
00:56:57.584 --> 00:57:02.024
You can explore history across time,
subjects and events.
00:57:02.024 --> 00:57:03.340
(Liam) And Mbabel tool.
00:57:03.340 --> 00:57:06.064
This lets you generate narrative stubs
based on Wikidata
00:57:06.064 --> 00:57:07.486
quickly, easily, faster.
00:57:08.711 --> 00:57:12.436
(Birgit) Petscan, also known
as the "Swiss knife"
00:57:12.443 --> 00:57:14.469
among Wikimedia's query tools.
00:57:15.079 --> 00:57:18.361
(Liam) They're quite indefinable.
It actually does all the things.
00:57:18.361 --> 00:57:21.988
Pywikibot, a library of scripts
that is used across so many tools
00:57:21.988 --> 00:57:25.680
and so many projects
to help do mass editing activities.
00:57:25.680 --> 00:57:30.383
(Birgit) Quickstatements, that already won
the Coolest Tool award
00:57:30.383 --> 00:57:33.151
in summer, 2019.
00:57:33.891 --> 00:57:35.147
- That's it.
- Congratulations.
00:57:35.147 --> 00:57:37.547
- Congratulations.
- If you're in the room, raise your hand--
00:57:37.863 --> 00:57:39.417
(applause)
00:57:46.336 --> 00:57:50.548
We don't have a building
on which to project all of those names
00:57:50.548 --> 00:57:52.340
at the same time.
00:57:52.340 --> 00:57:54.330
But all buildings belong
00:57:54.330 --> 00:57:56.679
to the Honorable Mention projects, right?
00:57:56.679 --> 00:57:59.358
- All of the buildings that belong to you.
- All of the buildings...
00:57:59.358 --> 00:58:00.798
- Yes.
- Yeah, good.
00:58:00.798 --> 00:58:02.339
(Birgit laughs)
00:58:03.221 --> 00:58:06.272
(Birgit) Okay, we are at
the very end of the awards...
00:58:07.824 --> 00:58:10.876
(Pianist) Can I make this a longer one
or do you still have something to say?
00:58:10.876 --> 00:58:11.968
(laughter)
00:58:12.120 --> 00:58:16.208
(Birgit) I think I want to say thank you
and I will show people the credits
00:58:16.208 --> 00:58:18.966
and then there is a slide
with all the images on it.
00:58:18.966 --> 00:58:21.147
So you can make a longer run, I think.
00:58:21.724 --> 00:58:24.743
♪ (Scott Joplin, "Stoptime Rag") ♪
01:01:37.369 --> 01:01:40.401
(cheers and applause)
01:01:55.403 --> 01:01:57.240
(Liam) And that's all there is
for the awards.
01:01:57.240 --> 01:01:58.837
Thank you for attending.
