In this course, you will learn how community-led tools and platforms like Wikibase, Semantic MediaWiki, and Wikidata can be used to create a data-driven semantic layer in a bottom-up way. Data-driven projects are not meant to replace traditional semantics, typically implemented in a more top-down manner with ontologies and controlled vocabularies carefully designed by official institutions and experts, but rather to offer an alternative and complementary approach leveraging the power of distributed knowledge to improve linked data solutions.
The primary target audience for this course includes:
- Policymakers
- Public administrators
- Data maintainers
IT professionals.
Course duration: 2,5 hours
