This is a limited capacity session for linked data beginners. By adding this session to your schedule, you are reserving a single spot for yourself only (not a group). Each person needs to sign up individually for this session. A Zoom link will be emailed directly to attendees.
Whether you have zero linked data experience or you work with linked data regularly -- Wikidata will be playing a more central role in your life. Learning how it works is not always straightforward. This workshop introduces you to fundamental concepts of Wikidata - items, properties, references, qualifiers, and other common elements. This hands-on workshop will also address identifiers, querying, property proposals, and how these all come together to make Wikidata the force it is. There will be time for any other specific question attendees may have. There will be opportunities to edit Wikidata. This workshop will use Wiki Education's Wikidata training modules and will highlight other useful tools created by community members. Through this workshop you will gain enough familiarity with Wikidata to be comfortable with Wikidata for the other conference sessions. This workshop is especially for those who are not yet familiar with Wikidata, but anyone is welcome to participate.

If you don't already have a Wikidata account , we encourage you to create one before the workshop: https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Special:CreateAccount
