2 years ago Here are the key elements of the session proposal that I am about to submit:
Provisional Session Title (<100 characters total)
The role of the Wikimedia ecosystem in linking biodiversity data
Session description (short (<200 words) abstract to set the scene, describe goals, relate to theme and/or TDWG's mission, and pique interest in your event)
The Wikimedia ecosystem of collaborative open knowledge websites like Wikipedia, Wikidata, Wikispecies, Wikisource or Wikimedia Commons covers the curation and sharing of multiple facets of biodiversity-related knowledge in a variety of ways. These interactions both contribute to and benefit from standardization efforts around biodiversity data. This session will explore such interactions from various perspectives, including but not limited to those of subfields of biology (e.g. taxonomy or invasion biology) or informatics (e.g. ontology development or knowledge graphs), with special attention to cross-disciplinary aspects like the curation of depictions of biodiversity in art or the use of biodiversity information more generally in non-biological fields of research or practice. Workflows using or contributing to any of the Wikimedia projects - in any language - are within scope. The session contributions will be in English, but the use of examples from non-English contexts is highly encouraged.
Session Type
[x] Other (please specify)
The session is open to multiple types of contributions, from demonstrations to presentations and beyond, with a preference for formats that encourage interaction with the audience (on-site and/ or remotely).
Will you consider the submission of unsolicited presentations to your session?
Yes.
Please estimate the amount of time required for your session (typically 4 presentations/hour).
120 min
as per https://www.tdwg.org/conferences/2022/ and https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/CYK8HPR
