Data and Peer Production with Wikimedia’s Dario Taraborelli
I spoke with Dario Taraborelli, Senior Research Analyst at the Wikimedia Foundation, a few days ago. What interested me is a new open data and research infrastructure initiative Wikimedia is pursuing in order to put data in the hands of a wider audience.
What also interests me is how Wikimedia is implementing it: namely, by creating an online space for data consultations in order to really hear from data wranglers and journalists about what they’re looking for in an open data platform.
Dario talks about a number of initiatives Wikimedia is pursuing and resources it’s providing to do so. Here’s a hit list of sites he mentions if you’d like to explore:
Semantic Metadata
Geolocation Data
Pageview Data, Trending Topics, Real-time Edit Data
Wikimedia Research Hub
And, most importantly: the Wikimedia Foundation’s open data consultation.
Run Time: ~25:00
