SUMMARY:Wikidata Edit-a-thon: Corporate Bodies (June 1-5\, 2026)
DESCRIPTION:Join the Linked Data Users Group of the Midwest Collaborative for Library Services (MCLS) and the Program for Cooperative Cataloging’s EMCO Wikidata Community of Practice (CoP) for a free\, semi-synchronous\, week-long virtual event that explores Wikidata. No prior experience is necessary! Project staff will provide you with everything you need to create and edit Wikidata entities. \nThis edit-a-thon will take place the week of June 1st. An opening event on the 1st will include an introduction to editing Wikidata and to PCC’s EMCO Wikidata CoP. A closing event on the 5th will review and celebrate what we achieved together. A Slack channel will be available to communicate with fellow Wikidata editors throughout the week. \nIn this edit-a-thon\, we will focus on adding corporate bodies (businesses\, associations\, institutions\, etc.) using the PCC EMCO Wikidata CoP Application Profile for Corporate Bodies. Participants may create Wikidata entries of their own choosing or create and edit entries from a list provided by the edit-a-thon staff. \nThese events are free to all and will take place via Zoom; however\, you must register in advance. Join for either event and edit during the week as much as you’d like. We will provide instructions\, tools\, data sources\, and an optional Slack channel for chat.
