Are all knowledges equal(ly representable in Wikidata)? What are the mechanics of (de)colonizing digital knowledge? What even is knowledge, and how and where does it fit on the map? I argue that these are questions of context: the contexts knowledge is extracted from, the contexts it is stored in, the contexts is it (re)presented in\u2014in short, questions of de-contextualization and re-contextualization.
\nStarting from a notion of epistemic agency (the ability to influence one\u2019s knowing and being-known), Wikidata knowledge (in)justice can arguably be understood as the opportunities and obstacles along those de-/re-contextualization paths that conduct knowledge into and out of Wikidata. To do so, this session will introduce a framework and graphical notation for discussing the processes of knowledge transformation involved in building knowledge bases like Wikidata, and it will become clear that we should ask not only what is represented (\u201cWhose knowledge?\u201d) but also how and by whom that \u2018what\u2019 is represented (\u201cWhose way of knowing?\u201d).

In this session, we will hear from representatives of Task Area 1 and 5 within the consortium. TA1 focuses on Data capture and enrichment of digital cultural assets, and within this task area we are developing a test use-case of Wikibase to structure data around 3D models and reconstructions of cultural assets. The TA1 team from the Open Science Lab at TIB Hannover will present the ongoing work to connect a Wikibase instance with the 3D-viewing and annotation software Kompakkt. This presentation will showcase the potential to extend the capabilities of Wikibase for cultural heritage preservation with additional open source software tools.\n\nIn the second part of the presentation, the team from FIZ Karlsruhe will present ongoing work within TA5, which focuses on building a Knowledge graph of research data within the 4Culture consortium. The TA5 team hosted two Wikibase workshops this year, and they will share some results of the workshops - particularly focusing on key requirements for further development.

DAAP is committed to challenging the politics of traditional archives regarding inclusion and accessibility, from a post-colonial, critical gender and LGBTQI perspective.
