My Kind of (Wiki)data: Exploring Wikidata with SPARQL Online
Did you know you can use Wikidata both to find and create data? Through the topic of NYC-related data, this workshop will introduce Wikidata and the SPARQL query language through hands-on examples and activities. Participants will leave with tools to contribute to linked open data initiatives and to query and visualize openly available data. Founded in 2012, Wikidata is a free and open knowledge base of structured data. It supports other Wikimedia projects (such as Wikipedia and Wikimedia Commons) and is used as a data source for commercial products like Google’s Knowledge Graph. It also expands access across languages!
