As in the last 2 years, Konrad visited the WikiCite event again and took the opportunity to do a couple of interviews with participants.
„WikiCite 2018 is a 3-day conference, summit, and hack day dedicated to the vision of creating an open repository of bibliographic data to support the citation and fact-checking needs of Wikimedia projects, and possibly, to serve as an open infrastructure for research, education, and information quality across the web.“
In this interview Konrad is recapping with Daniel Mietchen. Enjoy!
As you have recognized, Open Science Radio was again attending the Barcamp Open Science as well as the Open Science Conference. This episode is a wrap-up of the 2018 run of those two (related) events, again together with Guido Scherp, one of the organizers (you’ll know him by now). Guido is providing his impressions from the two events, we share ours and discuss a few things in general, as well as a few of the talks in more detail.
And now, have fun!
Im Rahmen unserer kleinen Reihe zum Fellow-Programm Freies Wissen – dem Gemeinschaftsprojekt von Wikimedia Deutschland, Stifterverband, VolkswagenStiftung (und weiteren Unterstützern) – widmen wir uns in einer dritten Episode weiterhin der Innenansicht des Programms. Dazu haben wir uns wieder einen Fellow und eine Mentorin eingeladen, um von ihren Projekten, aber auch ihren Erfahrungen zu berichten. Zu Gast sind Mentorin Katja Mayer und Fellow Peer Herholz, der mit seinem Projekt ALPACA einen Beitrag zur (automatischen) Kennzeichnung und Funktionslokalisierung des auditiven Cortex leisten will. Vielen Dank an die Beteiligten, aber auch an Sarah Behrens und Christopher Schwarzkopf für den Kontakt hinter den Kulissen!
Hinweis: Wikimedia hat vor kurzem bekanntgegeben das Fellow-Programm auch 2018/2019 fortzuführen, die Bewerbungsphase ist jetzt bis zum 15. Mai geöffnet! Weitere Infos zur Bewerbung finden sich auf der Wikiversity-Seite.
Und nun, viel Spaß!
Daniel Mietchen hosted another session at yesterday’s Open Science Barcamp, specifically looking at potential valid reasons for opting out of sharing scientific work openly. We asked him to share his impressions and insights with us.
We met Daniel Mietchen who just moderated a session at #oscibar about scholia, a service that provides „academic profiles“ based on Wikidata.
As last year, Konrad visited the WikiCite 2017 event that seeks out „…to design a central bibliographic repository, as well as tools and strategies to improve information quality and verifiability in Wikimedia projects.“ This year he took the opportunity to do a couple of interviews with participants.
This interview is with Daniel Mietchen. Daniel is a biophysicist and open scientist currently working at the University of Virginia as a data scientist. He is also part of the organizing committee anf initiated the Zika corpus project. In this interview he provides us with a bit of background of his work on the Zika corpus project and how it relates to WikiCite. Enjoy!
