What we do

[edit]

Two weeks before the 2017 Austrian legislative election on Wikidata 2017 Austrian legislative election, we use election data ("Wahldaten" in German) for introducing beginners to Wikidata. The workshop addresses Wikimedia adepts (like Wikipedian on Wikidata Wikipedians, Wikimedia Hackathon 2017 on Wikidata Wikimedia Hackathon newbies ...) as well as election aficionados (like data journalists, election researchers, political science students ...) in particular.

It is organized by Open Knowledge Österreich on Wikidata Open Knowledge Österreich – which operates offenewahlen.at – and Wikimedia Österreich on Wikidata Wikimedia Österreich. Since not all experts are German speakers, the workshop is held in English.
