A two-hour tutorial on ingesting open data into Wikidata using OpenRefine for absolute beginners.
Description
[edit | edit source]NOTE THE TIME REQUESTED!
A *two-hour* tutorial on ingesting open data into Wikidata using OpenRefine. This is a very powerful tool that's a bit daunting to pick up on one's own, leaving whole communities behind on its adoption.
Based on a successful (and sadly unrecorded) run at Turkic Wikimedia Conference, I thought I would offer it again at Wikimania.
No knowledge of OpenRefine is assumed, but *basic familiarity* with Wikidata's core concepts (Items, properties, values) *is* assumed.
