First Wikibase Lexical Data Workshop (wikibase-lex)
What is Wikibase?
Wikibase, an extension of MediaWiki, a free and open source software suite, is a platform for collaboratively editing Linked Data. It features a graphical interface for exhibiting, editing, and querying of datasets modeled in accordance to the Semantic Web and the FAIR principles. Wikibase is the software underlying Wikidata. As does Wikidata, a Wikibase instance includes a default model for the representation of lexical data (Wikibase Lexemes), which is based on OntoLex, a W3C-recommended model for lexical data.
Wikibase as lexical database
For dictionary and dictionary digitisation projects that aim at producing Linguistic Linked Open Data, a workflow involving Wikibase is interesting for a range of reasons. We will discuss these, and present a number of use cases. This workshop targets Wikibase users as well as the lexicographic community in general, and, more specificly, researchers involved in projects about the representation of lexical data as Linked Data.
Venue
The workshop is a pre-conference event of LDK2023. It was held on September 13, 14:00 to 18:00 CEST, at the Centre for Translation Studies, University of Vienna (see conference programme).
