About

[edit]

This page belongs to a talk given as part of the Wikipedia Science Conference in London.

Title

[edit]

Wikimedia and scholarly communication

Abstract

[edit]

There are multiple ways in which Wikimedia platforms interact with scholarly communications. This talk will zoom in to the interface of the two, both on a technical and a community level. It will highlight how content finds its way from scholarly communications into Wikimedia projects and sometimes vice versa, how data, metadata, software, infrastructure and the workflows of people and bots fit into the picture.

In the spirit of openness, the talk is editable and being developed in public at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Daniel_Mietchen/Talks/Wikipedia_Science_Conference_2015, from where it will also be held. Feedback of any kind - e.g. suggestions, questions, or reports of past interactions with Wikimedia - is most welcome. A video recording of a similar talk given at CERN some years back is available via https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Daniel_Mietchen/Talks/CERN_2012 .

Role of repositories

[edit]
  • Interoperability
    • is key to reuse
    • requires standardization

Visualizations

[edit]

Long-term vision

[edit]
Sharing research with the world as soon as it is recorded, in a way that is integrated with research workflows rather than added on top of them (cf. Geoffrey Bilder's talk). Now imagine this with open licenses and public version histories as the default setting. Video also available on Vimeo.
