Opening keynote at the conference "Enhancing the voice of science on Wikipedia: How universities can collaborate with the online encyclopedia in science communication," 9–11 April 2024, University of Innsbruck, Austria
This document discusses various efforts to rewrite and improve access to history and knowledge through open collaboration on Wikipedia and related projects. It mentions initiatives like Wikipedia Primary School, which aims to provide information to complete primary education curriculums on Wikipedia. It also discusses the importance of using open licenses to enable collaboration and ensuring content on Wikipedia and other Wikimedia projects is freely reusable and editable by all. Overall, the document advocates for more contributions of content and translations from diverse communities and institutions to make knowledge on Wikipedia as inclusive and accessible as possible.
This is a combination of the tasks outline in the Week 1 and Week 2 wikis. It explains what the Web 2.0 Technology of wikis in the form of Wikipedia.org (and related websites run by the WikiMedia foundation), as well as instructions on how to use them and the behaviour expected.
Wikipedia Seminar For Cipr October 2010SteveVirgin
This document summarizes a presentation given by Wikimedia UK on using Wikipedia as part of a public relations strategy. It discusses Wikipedia's scale and goals of supporting free knowledge. Key aspects covered include building a Wikipedia strategy by providing free basic content, understanding the "gift economy" model of open content, and addressing potential issues like correcting errors or adding content to an existing client page. Quality, industry concerns, and remembering Wikipedia is an encyclopedia were also briefly mentioned.
The document summarizes a presentation about Wikinews, an online news project similar to Wikipedia. It provides statistics showing that the largest Wikinews community is the Serbian one, despite the English version having more users. It also discusses debates around whether Wikinews has failed to achieve its goals of original reporting and building an engaged community, due to challenges with its editing process, competition from other sites, and language-specific focus.

There is huge potential for universities and their libraries to leverage Wikimedia in order to expose research outputs and collections. Wikimedia comprises sixteen projects in total, including Wikipedia, Wikimedia Commons and Wikidata. At the University of Leeds, the Research Data Management Service have successfully run a project that focuses on linking research data with the Wikimedia suite of tools via a series of ‘editathons’, in order to increase the visibility of research data and enable reuse on Wikipedia and elsewhere. The project - "Manage it locally to share it globally: RDM and Wikimedia Commons" - was the winning submission to a competition launched in May 2018 and sponsored by SPARC Europe, Jisc and the University of Cambridge, called the "Data Management Engagement Award", which aimed to address cultural challenges involved in promoting effective research data practices.
The project has served as a springboard to further explore Wikimedia strategically, both at the University of Leeds and across the White Rose Consortium. For example we are collaborating on a new project looking at Wikipedia citations of research from York, Sheffield and Leeds, and the proportion of these that are open access. The long term goal might be to establish a "Wikimedian in Residence" across the consortium. In this talk, we will present the project's outputs - including a toolkit that will enable other institutions to apply the same methodology. In addition we will explore the potential of Wikidata to link up repositories and other data silos in a manner that enables reuse and increases impact.
The proposal seeks $25,000 to initiate an "Open Development Wiki" that would allow development practitioners to openly share and collaborate on development knowledge without restrictions. It would benchmark successful open knowledge platforms like Wikipedia and address current limitations of siloed information sharing. The wiki would be a free, inclusive venue for all interested stakeholders to find each other, share information, and learn from each other through community participation and content contributions. Initial outputs would include wiki guidelines, 50 demonstration pages showcasing its uses, and a launch event for potential partners. The goal is improved information sharing and collaboration among development organizations.

Iolanda Pensa, Wikimedia projects and OpenStreetMap as an Open Research Infrastructure, 03 February 2024, FOSDEM, Bruxelles, CC BY-SA 4.0
The Wikimedia and OpenStreetMap projects are an existing free software infrastructure that already produces citizen science and can be used by researchers to share and co-produce data and to produce - and reproduce - the results of research. The presentation specifically refers to the potential of data related to cultural heritage for studies in the humanities and in particular in museology, art, art history and history of architecture.
The document discusses Wikipedia as a knowledge organization system and compares it to the Universal Decimal Classification system. It outlines some of the key features that allow Wikipedia to organize knowledge, such as its use of categories, article structure, links between articles, and extraction of structured data through projects like DBpedia. The document argues that Wikipedia serves as a dynamic, multilingual thesaurus and knowledge graph due to these organizational methods.
This document defines wikis and explores their uses, both socially and educationally. It provides examples of how wikis can be used for collaborative writing and storytelling. Wikis allow for easy group collaboration on online documents and their change histories allow pages to be reverted. They are well-suited for developing 21st century skills like collaboration and communication. The document also discusses ensuring privacy and safety when using wikis.

Talk on "Dissecting Wikipedia" given at CRASSH, Cambridge, on 6th March 2013.
Abstract:
Andrew Gray, the British Library's Wikipedian in Residence, has been working on an AHRC-supported program to help more academics and researchers engage with Wikipedia. In this talk, he will give a brief history of the Wikipedia project, looking at its origins and the way it has developed over time. The talk will also cover the growing amount of research done around Wikipedia itself. Well over 2,000 peer-reviewed papers have been published which looked at Wikipedia in some way - looking at the project's content and community, or using this data as a way to study broader questions of collaboration and interaction.
Wikimedia is an organization that supports Wikipedia and other free knowledge projects through infrastructure and resources. It is made up of volunteers around the world who work independently but share the goal of sharing knowledge through projects like Wikipedia, Wikidata, and Wikimedia Commons. The Wikimedia Foundation provides servers, databases and other tools to support volunteers in creating and maintaining project content, which is made freely available under open licenses.
Rethinking open access: alternative forms of sustainability and social impact...@cristobalcobo
This presentation explores to what extent can we rethink the licensing instruments (perhaps beyond Creative Commons); alternative forms of economic sustainability (freemium); as well as new incentives mechanisms (non-traditional knowledge currencies) into the Open Access movement.

Wil Weston is an engineering librarian who discusses how emerging technologies can aid academic libraries in community building and delivering scientific and technical information. He defines emerging technologies as those that are generally understood but still developing and benefiting from innovation. Community building involves learning communities that collaborate and interact around shared goals and incentives. The EDUCAUSE Horizon Report identifies mobile computing, open content, ebooks, and augmented reality as technologies with potential in academic libraries in the near and second adoption horizons.
Publishing 2 0 For Oslo Final Version With NotesJonathan Clark
The document discusses the concepts of Web 2.0 and how it relates to publishing and libraries. It explores how social media allows for greater connection and sharing of content among users. Web 2.0 features like blogs, wikis, tags, and RSS feeds allow information to circulate more freely. This shifting information ecosystem has implications for how publishers and libraries engage with users in the future. The document aims to explain what Web 2.0 means and its potential impact areas.
The document provides an overview of a course on wikis and biological wikis. It discusses what wikis are, how they work, and some key advantages over traditional web publishing. It then reviews several existing biological wikis that are customized for biological data, including those focused on proteins, pathways, E. coli, heart defects, and sequencing analysis tools. Semantic MediaWiki is introduced as a tool for building "data wikis". The Cell Lines Wiki pilot project is presented as an example to explore in the practical session.
Estermann ENICPA Wiki Loves Performing Arts 20191022Beat Estermann
This document discusses using Wikidata to create an international database for the performing arts. It provides an overview of Wikidata, including its purpose to provide a centralized location for interwiki links, infoboxes, and lists. It outlines a vision to realize a performing arts database on Wikidata to provide a finding aid for related Wikimedia Commons content and promote Wikidata-powered information on Wikipedia language editions. Current statistics on performing arts items in Wikidata are presented, alongside challenges and examples of existing Wikidata and Wikipedia implementations related to the performing arts.
This document provides an overview of key concepts from the book "Wikinomics" by Don Tapscott and Anthony Williams. It outlines three main learning objectives: 1) to consider issues relating to Web 2.0, 2) to understand the concept of "wikinomics", and 3) to examine benefits and difficulties of wikinomics. Key terminology from the book is defined, such as "peering", "prosumers", and concepts related to the democratization of media through user participation and peer production. Examples are given of early peer-produced projects like Linux, Wikipedia, and MySpace that showed the potential of mass collaboration online.

The Wiki and the Wikipedia: A Comparative Studyangelakelsey
Ward Cunningham coined the term "wiki" in 1995 to describe easily editable web pages. Wikipedia began in 2000 as an online encyclopedia called Nupedia but grew to outnumber Nupedia when users found Wikipedia's wiki format easier to contribute to. Wikis allow more creative freedom than Wikipedia which has strict rules and structure as an encyclopedia. Both rely on public contributions which can introduce bias but also leverage collective knowledge to improve accuracy.
This document discusses Wikipedia and wikis. It defines a wiki as a piece of server software that allows users to freely create and edit web page content using any web browser. Wikipedia is introduced as a free, multilingual encyclopedia that anyone can edit. While articles are not refereed, Wikipedia should be used as a starting point for research. The document also discusses how wikis can be created and their use in university education and communication.
This document provides a summary of the RAW DATA exhibition at the Whitebox Gallery featuring artists Di Ball, Daniel Della-Bosca, Matt Ditton, Kylie Hicks, Alan Hill, Kelly Hussey-Smith, Simone Paterson, and Jason Nelson. The exhibition explores the relationship between raw data, information, and experience. Artists were selected who respond to the concept of "raw data" by creating new sets of raw data rather than informational abstractions. Their works utilize experience over words and numbers to engage with raw data in a way that is beyond verbal or numeric explanation.
Wikipedia is a free online encyclopedia that can be edited by anyone. It operates using wiki software, which allows users to freely edit and compose web page content through a web browser. Wikipedia is written collaboratively by volunteers worldwide and provides a quick understanding of various topics, though it should only be used as a starting point for research due to the lack of refereeing of articles. The goal of Wikipedia is to have 250,000 articles in every language spoken by at least 1 million people. It is funded through donations and operates on a non-profit basis.
- The document discusses Wikipedia and its Wikimedia sister projects, noting that Wikipedia receives hundreds of millions of visitors each month, making it one of the top 10 most visited websites globally.
- It highlights opportunities for the city of Bristol to contribute content like images, videos, and documents about its history and attractions to Wikipedia and Wikimedia Commons, which could help increase tourism by exposing more people internationally to Bristol.
- The speaker challenges Bristol to coordinate a city-wide effort to contribute content in celebration and recognition of Wikipedia's 10th anniversary, which would establish the city as pioneers in the innovative use of social media.
The document discusses openness as an organizing principle and examines its dual nature as both inclusionary and exclusionary. It explores how openness is defined in terms of transparency and inclusion, but notes tensions arise from practices that can exclude certain actors. Two explanations for the lack of diversity in open organizations are proposed - imported exclusion from broader societal inequalities, and created exclusion through behaviors within the community. The document questions how to resolve the paradoxical nature of openness and proposes analyzing it together with closure as interdependent and both necessary for strategic organization. It concludes by asking how researchers can best investigate the dual character of openness.

This document discusses navigating activism and academia as an early career researcher. It addresses five common concerns researchers may have: not having enough time, needing to focus on activities that count, findings being too incremental, findings not being actionable, and fear of saying something wrong. It advocates that activism charges are ad hominem arguments, and that violating scholarly standards is the real issue. It discusses how activism could be seen as a feature rather than a bug. It calls for more activism, openness and constructive debate around sources, data, results and political stances. The document provides contact information for Leonhard Dobusch to continue the discussion.
Offen. Divers. Inklusiv. Thinking the Future of OrganizationsDobusch Leonhard
The document discusses diversity and inclusion in organizations like Wikipedia. It notes that while Wikipedia promotes openness and participation, in practice its user base remains predominantly white, male, and from developed countries. This could be due to usability issues, a lack of gender diversity in tech fields, and path dependencies that make change difficult. Bots and algorithms now account for a large share of edits, possibly enforcing governance rules in an automated way. Overall, Wikipedia may reflect broader societal inequalities despite its open model.

This document discusses challenges facing public service media in the digital era and opportunities for public service media to create an open ecosystem. It argues that public service media should open itself up by cooperating with other public media organizations, making content available to audiences on third-party platforms, and licensing content under free and open licenses to partner with non-profit organizations like Wikipedia. Examples are given of how public broadcasters in Germany are beginning to adopt more open strategies, like making historical videos available on Wikipedia. The document advocates for public service media to act as platform operators and curators within a shared "public open space," cooperating with other organizations for common good, innovation, and public value.

Authoring a personal GPT for your research and practice: How we created the Q...Leonel Morgado
Thematic analysis in qualitative research is a time-consuming and systematic task, typically done using teams. Team members must ground their activities on common understandings of the major concepts underlying the thematic analysis, and define criteria for its development. However, conceptual misunderstandings, equivocations, and lack of adherence to criteria are challenges to the quality and speed of this process. Given the distributed and uncertain nature of this process, we wondered if the tasks in thematic analysis could be supported by readily available artificial intelligence chatbots. Our early efforts point to potential benefits: not just saving time in the coding process but better adherence to criteria and grounding, by increasing triangulation between humans and artificial intelligence. This tutorial will provide a description and demonstration of the process we followed, as two academic researchers, to develop a custom ChatGPT to assist with qualitative coding in the thematic data analysis process of immersive learning accounts in a survey of the academic literature: QUAL-E Immersive Learning Thematic Analysis Helper. In the hands-on time, participants will try out QUAL-E and develop their ideas for their own qualitative coding ChatGPT. Participants that have the paid ChatGPT Plus subscription can create a draft of their assistants. The organizers will provide course materials and slide deck that participants will be able to utilize to continue development of their custom GPT. The paid subscription to ChatGPT Plus is not required to participate in this workshop, just for trying out personal GPTs during it.
Immersive Learning That Works: Research Grounding and Paths ForwardLeonel Morgado
We will metaverse into the essence of immersive learning, into its three dimensions and conceptual models. This approach encompasses elements from teaching methodologies to social involvement, through organizational concerns and technologies. Challenging the perception of learning as knowledge transfer, we introduce a 'Uses, Practices & Strategies' model operationalized by the 'Immersive Learning Brain' and ‘Immersion Cube’ frameworks. This approach offers a comprehensive guide through the intricacies of immersive educational experiences and spotlighting research frontiers, along the immersion dimensions of system, narrative, and agency. Our discourse extends to stakeholders beyond the academic sphere, addressing the interests of technologists, instructional designers, and policymakers. We span various contexts, from formal education to organizational transformation to the new horizon of an AI-pervasive society. This keynote aims to unite the iLRN community in a collaborative journey towards a future where immersive learning research and practice coalesce, paving the way for innovative educational research and practice landscapes.
When I was asked to give a companion lecture in support of ‘The Philosophy of Science’ (https://shorturl.at/4pUXz) I decided not to walk through the detail of the many methodologies in order of use. Instead, I chose to employ a long standing, and ongoing, scientific development as an exemplar. And so, I chose the ever evolving story of Thermodynamics as a scientific investigation at its best.
Conducted over a period of >200 years, Thermodynamics R&D, and application, benefitted from the highest levels of professionalism, collaboration, and technical thoroughness. New layers of application, methodology, and practice were made possible by the progressive advance of technology. In turn, this has seen measurement and modelling accuracy continually improved at a micro and macro level.
Perhaps most importantly, Thermodynamics rapidly became a primary tool in the advance of applied science/engineering/technology, spanning micro-tech, to aerospace and cosmology. I can think of no better a story to illustrate the breadth of scientific methodologies and applications at their best.

Current Ms word generated power point presentation covers major details about the micronuclei test. It's significance and assays to conduct it. It is used to detect the micronuclei formation inside the cells of nearly every multicellular organism. It's formation takes place during chromosomal sepration at metaphase.
ESR spectroscopy in liquid food and beverages.pptxPRIYANKA PATEL
With increasing population, people need to rely on packaged food stuffs. Packaging of food materials requires the preservation of food. There are various methods for the treatment of food to preserve them and irradiation treatment of food is one of them. It is the most common and the most harmless method for the food preservation as it does not alter the necessary micronutrients of food materials. Although irradiated food doesn’t cause any harm to the human health but still the quality assessment of food is required to provide consumers with necessary information about the food. ESR spectroscopy is the most sophisticated way to investigate the quality of the food and the free radicals induced during the processing of the food. ESR spin trapping technique is useful for the detection of highly unstable radicals in the food. The antioxidant capability of liquid food and beverages in mainly performed by spin trapping technique.

Wikipedia is the second largest content source
used in C4, a training dataset built by Google by
scraping 15 million web pages. It is also one of the
primary data sources for the open-source language
modeling dataset, the Pile. And according to
researchers, it is particularly relevant for
improving these models. Tarkowski (2023)
