Abstract

• The Library Carpentry Wikidata lesson aims to introduce the linked open data platform Wikidata to people working in libraries and was created with contribution from the WikiCite community. It covers the basic ideas behind Wikidata, editing and creation of entries as well as querying of Wikidata using the querying language SPARQL. The lesson will soon be ready to be used in workshops and will be taught to test audiences. In this lightning talk we would like to give a short overview to the lesson and collect feedback for further improvements.
