Wikibase: Basecamp for Semantic Lab's Wiki Journey
10-31, 12:30–12:40 (UTC), Room 1

Join the Semantic Lab at Pratt for a Lightning Talk journey through the evolution of their wikibase over time highlighting their recent Digital Humanities projects (Linked Jazz, E.A.T. + LOD - a partnership with the Robert Rauschenberg Foundation, and Linking Lost Jazz Shrines - a METRO Equity in Action Grant-funded project in partnership with Weeksville). Learn about the advantages, lessons learned, and ultimately how one wikibase has fostered symbiotic relationships with data across project topics and allowed flexibility to model data collaboratively.
