Knapp 2.000 Menschen sind jährlich in Österreich von Stalking betroffen, rund 19.000 sind es in Deutschland, laut Statistik. Das Internet und der technische Fortschritt liefern den Tätern zahlreiche neue Möglichkeiten. Ein Blick über den Tellerrand lohnt sich. Stalking ist ein hoch komplexes Phänomen, das den Betroffenen großen Schaden zufügt und gleichzeitig mit rechtsstaatlichen Mitteln schwer zu bekämpfen ist. Sandra Cegla, Kriminalkommissarin a. D. und Gründerin der Sicherheitsagentur SOS-Stalking in Berlin, wird daher einen Einblick in die wichtigsten Aspekte des widerrechtlichen Nachstellens geben. Hier könnt ihr erfahren, was Stalking ist, welche Kriminalpsychologie sich dahinter verbirgt, welche Arten von Stalking, welche Gesetze und Interventionsmöglichkeiten es gibt. Im Besonderen werdet ihr natürlich erfahren, welche technischen & digitalen Hilfsmittel die Täter einsetzen, um ihre Opfer auszuspähen und sie sowie ihr Umfeld zu manipulieren. about this event: https://cfp.privacyweek.at/pw19/talk/BLBNAH/

CERT.at ist das nationale Computer Emergency Response Team für Österreich. Aber was ist das eigentlich, was tut das so den ganzen Tag und wieso ist das überhaupt für Privatpersonen interessant? Fragen über Fragen, die dieser Talk beantworten will. Das nationale CERT soll die Sicherheit der IT-Infrastruktur eines Staates gewährleisten -- so weit, so generisch unmöglich. Was soll überhaupt ein "Staat" im Internet sein? Dieser Vortrag soll einerseits einen kurzen Abriss über die rechtlichen Rahmenbedingungen und die innerstaatliche "Cyber"-Landschaft geben, anschließend die internationalen Kooperationen vorstellen und schließlich konkret auf das Tagesgeschäft von CERT.at eingehen. Dabei werden jene Services im Fokus stehen, die für Privatpersonen, Systemadministrator*innen und Entwickler*innen hilfreich sein können. about this event: https://cfp.privacyweek.at/pw19/talk/NAFKAX/

The talk will cover how Wikidata may be associated to increasing efficiency and effectiveness of processes and workflows in GLAM-Wiki initiatives. Efficiency refers to lowering necessary resources (time, money, stress) to contribute. Effectiveness refers to increasing the social impact content contributed has. How Wikidata can be introduced in the streamline going from setting a GLAM-Wiki partnership to reverberating contributed content in Wikimedia projects will be shown. Examples from Brazilian GLAM-Wiki initiatives will be presented. This presentation is the result of a collaborative endeavor, with the generous participation of: Ederporto, EricaAzzellini, GiFontenelle and Joalpe. about this event: https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:WikidataCon_2019/Program/Sessions/Structuring_GLAM-Wiki_initiatives_with_Wikidata

In this session we want to present some current developments in the area of Open Government Data with regards to Open Data. We want to cover some topics that are currently of interest from the community's side of the Open Data movements as well as for groups that work with and on Open Governmental Data. You will hear about open political data, a Wikidata card game, official tables of street names, challenges for municipalities which would like to add their data to Wikidata and more. Knut Hühne is a developer from Berlin. He works on several projects with Open Data and Wikidata. Alice Wiegand is project lead for Open Data Düsseldorf. about this event: https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:WikidataCon_2019/Program/Sessions/Open_data_panel

OpenStreetMap (OSM) and Wikidata are two of the largest collaborative open data projects that contain structured data for real-world places and things. While OSM and Wikipedia are often compared with each other (for example, people say that "OSM is like Wikipedia for maps"), OSM and Wikidata are actually even more similar. Wikidata has items, properties, statements, values, and qualifiers, while OSM has similar things like nodes, ways, relations, tags, keys, and values. Furthermore, the only thing that is better than open data is linked open data and both OSM and Wikidata have tags and properties that enable linking real-world objects found in both datasets with each other, thus making both datasets more useful for data consumers. This presentation will give a short introduction to OpenStreetMap and its data model, and explain how OSM and Wikidata can link to each other and the benefits and uses of such cross-linking. In addition, we will demonstrate the use of an online machine-assisted matching tool that OSM mappers can use to add wikidata=* tags to OSM objects that correspond to Wikidata items about the same real-world place or thing. The tool's limitations will also be explained. Linking the two projects isn't without controversy: there is some distrust within the OSM community with linking to or relying on Wikidata and they use different licenses as well, which raises questions about what information from one project can be copied to the other. (OSM has a policy that Wikidata coordinates cannot be imported into OSM despite Wikidata's CC0 license.) This issue, among other problems that hinder further collaborations between the two communities, will be touched upon in the presentation.

Each of the panel members gets 8 minutes for presenting the proposed topic. After all the talks, we have a little panel discussion with all presenters of about 15 minutes. During the panel discussion, the audience is invited to ask questions, share ideas, or connect to other initiatives. Panel members: Lucas Werkmeister (Overview of Data Quality Tools on Wikidata) Abstract: To fight vandalism, mistakes, and other data quality issues on Wikidata, a variety of tools are available. This section gives a brief overview of what is already available to users, as well as an outlook of what’s coming in the future. Jose Emilio Labra Gayo (University of Oviedo (Spain), Username: Jelabra). (Schema visualization and authoring tools) Abstract: Historically, data sharing requires data modelling, which implies data structures consensus and dissemination. The UML community has addressed this graphically with languages that rely principally in graphical representations and only secondarily on exchange formats. It focuses on a conceptual model, leaving the data binding as a matter separate from modelling. When modelling with ShEx schemas, we get a physical representation for free. This eliminates an opaque layer from the modelling pipeline, one which trivially introduced interop problems. Wikidata users need the simplest tools possible in order to create coherent and complementary schemas and disseminate these schemas to a non-expert (at least vis-a-vis schema languages) community of contributors and users. This talk focuses on existing tools for expressing graph data, in particular, graphical tools which steepen the learning curve of the user to the extent that they aren’t even aware that they are learning a new system. We will also explore how these tools can be integrated in Wikidata toolchain both for visualizing and authoring schemas. Cristina Sarasua (University of Zurich (Switzerland), Username:Criscod). Topics to be discussed: Link Quality, data quality dimensions in existing tools. Abstract: Building on prior experiences from our workshop, we would like to discuss with the community existing challenges and opportunities in the field of data quality monitoring and assurance by focusing on Wikidata’s unique characteristics: its central role in a network of knowledge bases and other peer production projects (like Wikipedia), its ability to host plural statements and illustrate the Web’s misinformation, its multilinguality, its community of humans and machines, as well as its dynamicity. Our discussion is guided by the following questions: What are suitable data quality dimensions and measures in the context of Wikidata that are not yet (fully) addressed? What are needed methods and tools for Wikidata’s editors to edit, maintain and consume data? Andra Waagmeester (Using automation pipelines to maintain quality of Wikidata content after successful integration) Abstract: In the Gene Wiki project we maintain a family of bots to synchronise public scientific databases in the life sciences on Wikidata. Using the Wikidata integrator, which is a python pipeline developed for Wikidata data ingestion, these bots continuously monitor for changes in the primary sources of the data added to Wikidata and log these changes. New updates are processed and where possible changelogs are reported back to the curator teams of the primary sources. We use an automation server called jenkins to run and maintain these processes and would like to present this sollution. about this event: https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:WikidataCon_2019/Program/Sessions/Data_quality_panel

Wikidata will be turning 7, yet it is still fairly young. We are merely beginning to explore its potential as a teaching and learning platform in Academia. Wikidata has the potential to not only help its users find precise and meaningful data, or explore various topics for learning purposes; but also help educate the general public about how to interpret the data they encounter, recognize knowledge gaps, sharpen the critical thinking and their understanding of how to verify data correctness or completeness. These capacities are especially important in an era where Siri, Alexa and other AI agents use Wikidata and users take their answers at face value, and represent some examples of the capacities that fall under "Data Literacy" that will be discussed in the session. This panel will focus on featuring various examples of experimenting with Wikidata in educational settings around the world, focusing on different ways of engaging students, discussing known best & worst practices and brainstorming about new and exciting ways to better incorporate WD into Academia. To achieve this goal, we have assembled a group of Wikidatans who have been experimenting with WD in Educational settings. Among the examples that will be discuss are: The first for-credit course in the world to feature Wikidata at Tel Aviv University, Israel (Shani) Wikidata Labs and Wikidata in journalism school, University of Sao Paulo, Brazil (Joao) Implementing data literacy in the curriculum and the example of the "Witchfinder General" at the University of Edinburgh (Ewan) How to use wikidata as a tool in STEM at the Habitat School, Ajman,Dubai, United Arab Emirates (Akbar Ali) Using Wikidata to Teach Semantic Modelling to Master's degree level class at the HTW Berlin in Germany (Debora) The panel will include 3 main parts: Introduction and meeting the panelists (3 min each = ~ 20 minutes) Panel discussion about questions relating issues such as format, challenges and assessment Q & A with the audience (10 min) If you are using Wikidata as a teaching or learning tool in an educational setting, or are interested in doing so, this session is for you! about this event: https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:WikidataCon_2019/Program/Sessions/Education_panel

In order to properly receive donations to Wikidata the new data must be imported in as controlled and systematic manner as possible. It is important to track imports and ensure that there is as little duplication of work as possible. With these issues in mind, John Cummings and Navino Evans created the Wikidata Dataset Import pages and began using them for tracking their work importing data from UN agencies. The goal of this is to not only to track current data imports, but also be a centralised location for documentation and discussions of mass data imports past, present and future. In this session we will offer an overview of this system as it stands today, some of the imports that we have already done and the issues we face before the full potential can be realised. What will attendees take away from this session? Attendees will come away with a better understanding of the process of importing donated data to Wikidata, where to get started with their own data imports and ways in which they could help improve the process for others. about this event: https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:WikidataCon_2019/Program/Sessions/Overview_of_the_data_donation_process

In this session, there will be five scheduled 10-minute lightning talks followed by a brief Q&A. Evaluating the quality of linked open data in digital libraries Gustavo Candela, Pilar Escobar, Rafael C. Carrasco, Manuel Marco-Such Cultural heritage institutions have recently started to share their collections as linked open data in order to disseminate and enrich them. One of the most important goals of the culture heritage institutions is to be reused by means of the establishment of external links. In this context, data quality in terms of linked open data can be a crucial aspect to consider when selecting a repository for reuse. In this presentation, the methodology defined by previous research for the evaluation of the quality of linked open data is adapted to the specific case of libraries. The quality measures are reported in the case of four highly relevant libraries, including Wikidata as a repository for enriching their metadata. Takeaways An idea of how a culture heritage institution should publish LOD repositories and the most relevant aspects to assess a dataset from a technical data quality of view. Creating LOD for Dutch public libraries Olaf Janssen Directly inspired by a lightning talk from GLAM-Wiki 2018 (https://bit. ly/2Dtrnxc) I started a project to improve the coverage and visibility of public libraries in the Netherlands on Wikidata. Although there are a number of websites listing all these plusminus 1500 libraries, I was quite surprised to find that none of them provide both structured and openly licensed, let alone linked data, while openness should be at the the core of every library's mission. I decided to solve this problem by adding address and geo data of every public library to Wikidata, hence for the very first time creating a (5-star) linked open data set for this type of library. This enables innovative uses, such as overviews and visualisations of the Dutch public library landscape on organisational, municipal, regional, provincial and national levels. This is of interest not only to Wikipedia and LOD enthousiasts, but also to e.g. policy makers, municipalities, scientists and journalists. In addition, to enable SPARQL generated library image galleries, I have started '1Lib1Photo' (inspired by 1Lib1Ref), an initiatieve to add an openly licensed image of every Dutch public library to Wikimedia Commons. Takeaways As a beginning Wikidatian myself, I hope to show that this type of project is suitable for beginners; adding address and geo infomation to Wikidata is a simple task that any one can do and a great way to learn SPARQL. Despite the simple nature of the inputs, the outputs (maps, image galleries, tables) are very relevant, not only for adding overviews of libraries to Wikipedia, but also for parties outside the Wiki sphere. As this project was directly inspired by work done in Wales by Simon Cobb (User:Sic19), I in my turn hope to inspire others to start similar projects in other countries. How can a small research library benefit from Wikidata? Enhancing library products using Wikidata Ursula Oberst, Heleen Smits In 2018 the African Studies Centre Leiden (ASCL) has started to engage with Wikidata by uploading its African Studies Thesaurus to Wikidata and by adding Africa-related publications in the context of WikiCite. The ASCL library is well aware of the fantastic functionalities that can be realized in library catalogs with thesaurus identifiers being present in Wikidata but adjustments to the ASCL catalog itself are at present a too far-fetched goal. How else can the library benefit from Wikidata at short notice? To prepare for the WikiconNL 2019 conference, the ASCL Library compiled an experimental web dossier which combines the components of a classical ASCL web dossier with features offered by Wikidata. The web dossier focuses on Southern African women writers and their publications. Special feature is the interactive Wikidata map that provides links to the writer’s publications in the ASCL catalogue and to her English Wikipedia article. For WikidataCon 2019 the ASCL will prepare a second experimental web dossier on proverbs in African languages. The lightning talk presents the ASCL experimental web dossiers as an example for the enhancement of library products by using Wikidata. Takeaways The web dossiers are practical use cases that can be easily implemented by other libraries. The lightning talk hopes to inspire the attendees and the presenters hope to be inspired by the audience and their experience with easily realisable and practical (library) applications for Wikidata. Using Wikidata to improve spatial subject indexing in a regional bibliography Adrian Pohl The North Rhine-Westphalian Bibliography with more than 400,000 entries is one of the biggest regional bibliographies in Germany. Wikidata has been utilized for more than five years to improve https://nwbib.de, the end user interface of the bibliography, and is lately also taking ov

With almost 60 million items, Wikidata is an incredible knowledge base for human and machine systems, and a testament to the power of collaborative work. But is "the wonderful world of open data" that wonderful? Drawing on their experiences as a data researcher and former Wikimedian, Os Keyes will step through the assumptions and tensions built into the theory and practice of Wikidata. In doing so, they will highlight ways in which the structure and premise of Wikidata creates spaces for harm against marginalised populations, and risks further enabling already-damaging systems of power. Os Keyes is a researcher and writer at the University of Washington, where they study gender, infrastructure and power. Their current projects cover facial recognition, critical tactics for technology, and the consequences of classification for trans lives. Their essays have been published in Slate, Real Life, Logic, and Scientific American; their papers have appeared at CHI, CSCW and other Human-Computer Interaction conferences. They are the inaugural recipient of an Ada Lovelace Fellowship. about this event: https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:WikidataCon_2019/Program/Sessions/Keynote:_Questioning_Wikidata

For the first time in 2019, we will present the WikidataCon Award, highlighting some cool projects nominated by the community. The Wikidata & Wikibase ecosystem is like a galaxy of great projects, inspiring ideas, growing content and incredible wonderful people. It’s time to celebrate this! Join us for the first ever WikidataCon Award ceremony tonight! about this event: https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:WikidataCon_2019/Program/Sessions/WikidataCon_awards_ceremony

As every year since 2012, we're celebrating Wikidata's anniversary. People usually bring presents to the community, that can be tools, new websites or piece of software, but also various projects, drawings... This is always a great moment, full of appreciation for the community and great to discover more about the Wikidata-related tools that people use! During this demo session, the WikidataCon participants who want to present their gift will have 2min to get on stage and show their work to others. If you want to present a birthday present, please read carefully what follows! The demos will be very short, 2min per present, in order to allow everyone to participate To save time, we will show everything from the same computer. No local command line prompt, sorry. For a smooth demo, you can consider making a video out of your screen. For the same reason, your present must be listed on this page with a link to access the demo. Of course, for the sake of the surprise, you can add it last minute, but please make sure that there is a link to click on before you go on stage! Last but not least: although the birthday presents contain a lot of tools, new features, and other programmed sweets, you are very welcome to present something of another nature: a drawing, an object, a song... anything that celebrates Wikidata and its community :) about this event: https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:WikidataCon_2019/Program/Sessions/Birthday_presents_demo

In 2016 the Stadtmuseum Berlin hosted a temporary exhibition entitled "Berlin – Stadt der Frauen". The exhibition comprised works by female artists, who had enjoyed prominence in the past, but had subsequently been ignored by the male-dominated academy. As a result, these artists are underrepresented in the literature and rarely mentioned in secondary sources, which presents a challenge: How does one satisfy Wikidata’s notability criteria, when little supporting documentation exists and the artist’s notability has (only) been established by a cultural heritage institution? See this exchange for an example of the problems that can arise. Objects from the exhibition were digitised under the auspices of a publicly funded programme. Data from this project has been uploaded into Wikidata as part of a test case. The presentation will detail the process and address the issues encountered, as well as make some suggestions for the future. about this event: https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:WikidataCon_2019/Program/Sessions/Reinstating_Female_Artists_to_the_Cultural_Record_via_Wikidata

This talk will present an update on building a project on top of Wikidata, from our experience on Inventaire. Inventaire does two things regarding Wikidata: reuse its items data and extend it in a local database reusing a very similar data model. In both aspects, we regularly encounter difficulties as the community redefines some properties, or some P31 values, which may break the expectations on which external applications are built on. We would like to discuss advantages and drawbacks of considered work-arounds such as shadow items, data model bulk upgrade, different strategies to type and shape items. about this event: https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:WikidataCon_2019/Program/Sessions/Inventaire_:_What_we_learnt_from_reusing_and_extending_Wikidata_shifting_data

How are different emerging communities adding their knowledge to Wikidata and also leveraging this data to improve other Wikimedia projects such as creating Wikidata driven Infoboxes, using ArticlePlaceholder to create basic entries about missing topics on Wikipedia and using Listeria bot to create indexes on Wikisource? How the Indic community has been filling the existing gaps on Wikidata with the help of datathons and labelathons? What are the different editing activities that can help engage newbies to contribute to Wikidata and filling knowledge gaps at the same time? In this session, we will try to answer these questions but with your help, of course! about this event: https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:WikidataCon_2019/Program/Sessions/Wikidata_for_filling_knowledge_gaps_in_the_emerging_communities:_Indic_case_studies

Project WikiLoop is an engineering effort initiated by Google engineers, based on Google's big data resources, to contribute knowledge to open knowledge ecosystems such as Wikipedia, adhering to Wikipedia community policies. Search engines have been relying on the health of the open knowledge world, most notably Wikipedia. Yet there are few established efforts to allow continuous contributions of knowledge back to the Wikimedia ecosystem. Project WikiLoop, which was initiated by a engineers at Google, aims at rethinking our efforts in making more knowledge more accessible to the open knowledge ecosystems. We generate data using our computational power to identify potential issues. We build tools, such as bots, games and webapps, to help editors address these issues. We aim to ensure that we are following community policies (such as WP:NPOV), and that we contribute transparently and unbiased. about this event: https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:WikidataCon_2019/Program/Sessions/Project_WikiLoop

The Role of Wikidata within Data Ecosystems that Extend Beyond the Realm of Wikimedia Projects In this session the four speakers will shed light on the role of Wikidata in the context of data ecosystems that serve usage scenarios that reach beyond the realm of Wikimedia projects. They will present concrete data publication projects they have been involved in and discuss how Wikidata is complementary to third party data platforms. Together, they will try to find ways to address the various challenges encountered in their respective projects and point out areas where increased coordination will be needed in the future. The examples covered pertain to topics as varied as the description of historical places, library authority files, art history, conservation data, press archives, and performing arts: Susanna Ånäs has been involved with organisations in Finland who have developed vocabularies and ontologies of places and place names, in which a special attention is paid to historical places as well as to the history of existing places. As the Finnish Names Archive decided to use Wikibase to publish their place names collection, the modelling choices made in Wikidata have served as an important reference point for Finnish GLAMs when it comes to modelling places. Mike Dickison has worked with numerous GLAM organisations throughout Aotearoa New Zealand, helping them engage with Wikimedia projects. He will report on three main projects: the National Library of NZ authority lists, the Bloomsbury South art history project with Christchurch Art Gallery, and working with the Department of Conservation to add every living member of the endangered kākāpō species to Wikidata. Joachim Neubert is running a project on Wikidata to improve the access to the content of the “20th Century Press Archive” (PM20), a large collection of folders with millions of press clippings and other material about persons, organizations, wares, events and general subjects. Founded in 1908 in Germany, the archive soon extended its coverage to newspapers all over the world. The PM20 metadata is well structured (using controlled vocabularies, such as GND), and has been released by its creator ZBW under a CC-0 licence. (WikiProject) Beat Estermann has been working towards the creation of an International Knowledge Base for the Performing Arts based on linked data technology, relying both on Wikidata and the classical linked data approach. Over the past few years, he has contributed to data publication projects related to various segments of the performing arts value network, involving production and presenting companies, archival institutions, educational and research institutions, as well as the free online encyclopedia Wikipedia (see: Building a Linked Open Data Ecosystem for the Performing Arts). about this event: https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:WikidataCon_2019/Program/Sessions/GLAM_panel

Communication networks have become a critical infrastructure of our digital society. However, can we really trust our networks to deliver information securely? Questions and answers -- and more questions. Communication networks have become a critical infrastructure of our digital society. With the trend toward more data-centric applications (related to health, business, social networking), especially the networks to, from, and inside datacenters need to fulfill stringent security and depenability guarantees. In this talk, I will give an overview of security challenges in today's computer networks, but also discuss opportunities. about this event: https://cfp.privacyweek.at/pw19/talk/ELYCBB/

This is the story of how a dusty old volume about famous Welsh people came to be a slick digital experience powered by Wikidata. In 2013 the Dictionary of Welsh Biography was first made available online. 2 years later we engaged volunteers in a 'MIx & Match project to add entries to Wikidata (about 4500), since then the data has been improved several times by extracting data in tagged text files to Wikidata. In 2019 a new website was launched with added resources and links to Wikidata items. And work began on a bespoke bilingual interactive timeline which would allow users of the website to explore and filter content visually - all powered by live Wikidata .

When it comes to language in Wikidata there are two key pieces to look at. the multilinguality of the data - being able to see and contribute data in your language. the lexicographical data part of Wikidata - collecting data about words in any language. We've made great strides over the past 2 years in both areas. But how far have we really come? What works well and what doesn't yet? What's becoming possible? Let's find out! about this event: https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:WikidataCon_2019/Program/Sessions/Wikidata_and_languages

Der Vortrag zeigt das Ausmaß der Überwachung und die Macht der Algorithmen auf, und erarbeitet dann Kriterien für Algorithmen die mehr Fairness und Gerechtigkeit liefern sollen. Algorithmen greifen auf Grund der immer stärkeren Datensammlung (vor allem durch große IT-Konzerne) immer tiefer in das Leben aller Menschen ein. Entscheidungen über uns werden durch Algorithmen getroffen, Algorithmen lenken durch ihre cleveren Vorschläge ganz subtil unsere Handlungen und es gibt nur noch begrenzt Möglichkeiten, sich dessen zu entziehen. Um so wichtiger ist es, Kriterien für faire, gerechte und nicht-diskrminierende Algorithmen zu haben und diese politisch durchzusetzen. Aber auch bei der Programmierung der Algorithmen können "data scientiest" bereits ethische Kriterien berücksichtigen. So ist es wichtig, dass Algorithmen "sich erklären" können ("explainable AI"), und dass es eine Nachvollziehbarkeit ihrer Entscheidungen gibt. Automatische Fehlerkorrekturen müssen eingebaut werden damit Vorurteile und Diskriminierungen möglichst früh erkannt werden. Ebenso wäre es wichtig, dass die Optimierungskriterien auf denen die Entscheidungen der Algorithmen beruhen klar kommuniziert werden. Ebenso dürfen Deep Learning Algorithmen die zu möglicherweise katastrophalen Fehlentscheidungen führen können nicht in kritischen Bereichen eingesetzt werden. about this event: https://cfp.privacyweek.at/pw19/talk/DHFGPF/

This talk revisits the theme of personal privacy in the digital world, this time centring around the "I've got nothing to hide" argument. A beam of intensive light is shed upon the motivation behind caring about one's privacy. We go in depth into what we can do to stay private and should we even try to do it at all. We talk about where we as an global society were able to fix privacy and where we have failed. New topics previously not covered are discussed, such as herd immunity and certification programs. about this event: https://cfp.privacyweek.at/pw19/talk/ZYSLAB/

During this lightning talks session, you will hear a brief presentation of several projects. Each talk lasts 10min, including questions. Mbabel tool - automatic articles on Wikipedia with Wikidata EricaAzzellini This talk will present the Mbabel tool tool that works under the concept of structured narratives for automatic Wikipedia entries generation using Wikidata information. I’ll cover the context of its development, how it works, why it was created, how it’s being used in Brazil on GLAM and Education projects and finally what’s yet to come! The Role of Wikidata in the Open Knowledge Network for Geosciences Yolanda Gil The Open Knowledge Network (OKN) is a US initiative with the goal to provide infrastructure for publicly accessible knowledge graphs that have five key characteristics: 1) they are public and openly accessible, 2) they are created, curated, and managed in a distributed manner, 3) their contents are created mostly automatically, 4) they include rich provenance about the sources of information, and 5) have natural interfaces for lay users. Wikidata includes geospatial entities, geophysical variables, and general geosciences concepts and could serve as a backbone for OKN in geosciences. Conversely, OKN could augment Wikidata with geoscience entities and datasets, deep time representations (prior eras), and computationally derived datasets. We will also describe a collection of driving use cases in geosciences, such as environmental impact of human activities and climate dynamics, and related applications in environmental sciences, social sciences, and health. Finally, we will discuss the generality of our tools to other domains, specifically controlled crowdsourcing of ontologies and their potential use in Wikidata." Something exciting about Wikibase Addshore TBD QAnswer, a Question Answering System on top of Wikidata Dennis Diefenbach I will make a demo of QAnswer: a Question Answering system over Wikidata. Example of some question that we can answer, problems related to "quality problems" in the dataset, how we exploit the multilinguality of Wikidata, how we collect feedback by users to improve and current challenges.

**The Fediverse Network** is fully decentralized and runs on completely different business models than the centralised OSN platform giants - and it's growing fast. We'll discuss how it works and why it's called **the worst nightmare of surveillance capitalists**. To monopolists like Facebook, the **Fediverse Network** is a highly innovative competitor that **cannot be bought**, something that hasn't emerged so far - and that's why won't go away - and that's why it matters. Learn about **ActivityPub (AP)**, the protocol that underpins and enables the current fediverse network. AP is now spoken by more than 4500 servers worldwide, and each of them is run by independent actors that are not dependent on selling user attention to the advertising/propaganda industry. The first AP developers conference took place in September 2019 (https://redaktor.me/apconf/), we will report on the community efforts to further improve scalability and persistence of this open network infrastructure. about this event: https://cfp.privacyweek.at/pw19/talk/9RKCV8/

During this lightning talks session, you will hear a brief presentation of several projects. Each talk lasts 10min, including questions. Rated reviews of pre-XX-c women's writing Rosie Stephenson-Goodknight "Women Writers in Review" is an initiative of the Digital Scholarship Group at Northeastern University (Boston) where I serve as Visiting Scholar. The initiative encompasses pre-20th-century English language women writers, their works, reviews of their works, and scoring of the reviews (P444) by academics. The initiative supports research into the transatlantic reception and readership of early texts by women ("cultures of reception"). Using structured data to model the work enables analysis, identification, and depiction of gender bias over a particular time period (pre-XX-c) and language (English). In consultation with others, I've developed a Wikidata model to depict this research. The session will include a visualization of the data, an early analysis, my approach to developing the model, and discussion as to how this model might be used by other academic institutions to contribute their unique data sets to Wikidata. While this presentation focuses on Wikidata, it also relates to WikiCite. Presentation #1 of this topic (an introduction to an idea) occurred at LD4 conference (Boston, May 2019). Presentation #2 occurred at Wikimania (Stockholm, August 2019); it was a discussion regarding the pending data upload and the successful property proposal process. This is Presentation #3. Timelines on a Cosmic Scale (Histropedia) Navino Evans A brief demo to show off an exciting new feature in our Wikidata Query Viewer tool that allows us to visualize cosmic timescales (billions of years) on the timelines the tool auto generates from Wikidata sparl queries. Wikibase for BnF's cataloguing software Thibaud Senelada We will present the results of a POC we did about Wikibase as a cataloguing tool. Ordia Finn Årup Nielsen Ordia is a Wikidata front-end running on the Wikimedia Toolforge https://tools.wmflabs.org/ordia/. It displays information about the lexemes of Wikidata, including their forms and senses. Ordia makes use of the Wikidata Query Service and can thus aggregate information from various different Wikidata pages. For instance, the language aspect shows statistics for the number of lexemes, forms and senses with respect to languages. Ordia also shows overviews over lexical categories, grammatical features, properties and the use of references. If a user input a text into a specific input field, Ordia can extract the individual words and query for the individual words. This talk will demonstrate the various uses of Ordia and briefly discuss the status of Wikidata lexemes. Books/data vs. Wikisource/Wikidata Vigneron Wikisources make an extensive use of Wikidata. This lightning talk will present an overview of the relationship between Wikisources and Wikidata: which data are used, what tools can help, and what are the problems still to overcome. about this event: https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:WikidataCon_2019/Program/Sessions/Lightning_talks_1

Der erste Geburtstag der DSGVO ist überstanden. Die Welt steht immer noch, der Datenschutz hat aber vielfältige Blüten getrieben. Ein bunter Strauß an Blumen wird präsentiert, gemeinsam mit dem richtigen Werkzeug, um sie zurecht zu stutzen. Dieser Vortrag beschäftigt sich mit den immer wiederkehreden Fragen und manchmal absurden Annahmen rund ums Thema Datenschutz im beruflichen wie auch privaten Kontext ("Du kennst dich ja damit aus, wie ist denn das."). Fragen, Annahmen und tägliche Diskussionen: 1. Wieso dürfen wir WhatsApp nicht im Büro verwenden? Alle tun das. 2. Wir sind ja nicht Facebook und Google. Das müssen wir doch nicht alles einhalten. 3. Die Fotos von meiner spinatverschmierten Dreijährigen sind so süß. Das poste ich mal schnell. 4. Ist der Name des Haustieres meiner Patientin ein personenbezogenes Datum? 5. Die Sterbedaten unserer Kirchenmitglieder dürfen wir auf gar keinen Fall in den Gemeindebrief drucken. 6. Trackingpixel? Noch nie gehört. 7. Die Mitarbeiterfotos müssen schon auf die Homepage. Wegen dem persönlichen Bezug und so. 8. usw. Was sind die datenschutzrechtlichen Hintergründe zu diesen Aussagen, was ist das Für und Wider? Ein kleines Bisschen Augenzwinkern und Humor könnten auch dabei sein. about this event: https://cfp.privacyweek.at/pw19/talk/PDKNML/

Die Welt schöner zu machen ist nicht schwierig. Fünf Maßnahmen genügen. Die Welt schöner zu machen ist nicht schwierig. Fünf Maßnahmen genügen: 1. Es wird kaum noch Kohle und Erdöl verbrannt. 2. Es werden kaum noch chemische Stoffe in die Umwelt eingebracht. 3. Die Grundversorgung aller Menschen mit materiellen Gütern ist sichergestellt. 4. Alle Menschen haben gleichen Zugang zu Gesundheit, Bildung und Recht. 5. Österreich ist ein Bundesstaat im Weltstaat. Die Umsetzung der Maßnahmen erfordert passende Systeme. Im Vortrag wird ein Vorschlag für Designprinzipien unterbreitet... about this event: https://cfp.privacyweek.at/pw19/talk/SZU9RN/

We all know that companies track us when we visit websites and use services online. Who collects that information, and how valuable and personal is it, and how much is it worth? WebXray, a privacy forensics consultancy, will demonstrate. In this talk [WebXray](www.webxray.eu), a consultancy specializing in the auditing of online web tracking, will illustrate the scale of the problem in enterprise and explain its origins. As privacy engineers, WebXray demonstrate open-source [tools](www.webxray.org) which audit illicit practices. There is an alternative the dominant business model of targeted advertising. We will advocate how we can create a pathway towards responsible, privacy-friendly online platforms. In simple, visual terms, we will also demonstrate the marketplace of personal data in the advertising ecosystem: *who* collects it, how we map data brokers, *what* they collect, and *why* it is valuable. about this event: https://cfp.privacyweek.at/pw19/talk/XBGF9N/

Wikidata has become so big it's sometimes hard to apreciate what we've acomplished over the past year. Let's take a look together and see what has happened over the past year and how these changes shaped us. about this event: https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:WikidataCon_2019/Program/Sessions/Glimpse_over_Wikidata

This session will focus on the broad issue of Indigenous related data in Wikibase and Wikidata through a specific use case/project. The Canadian Federation of Library Associations Indigenous Matters group is working on developing an Indigenous-specific ontology. This is part of a response to the Truth and Reconciliation Report and seen as vital mechanism for, in part, dealing with the negative legacy of colonialism. Wikibase is potentially the best mechanism for making this data available. The goal is to demonstrate this specific use case a model case for similar work and also raise critical issues that need to be considered by the community as a whole. Issues: The challenges of modelling this kind of data and why Wikidata is not the best choice Successes, challenges and critical issues Issues related to the integration of Indigenous languages, historical communities (i.e. communities no longer occupied) Questions this kind of work raises for the GLAM sector as a whole, especially as it relates to marginalized knowledges How the use of Wikibase support Indigenous data sovereignty and the tension this raises within the open movement as a whole. about this event: https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:WikidataCon_2019/Program/Sessions/Wikibase_for_Canadian_Indigenous_Content

With an increasing number of GLAM organizations releasing their collections through open access initiatives, there is a need to help support the dual task of mapping their open data to Wikidata, while simultaneously contributing related multimedia to Wikimedia Commons. This session will discuss the issues around the simultaneous donation of multimedia content to Commons and structured data to Wikidata. We will present practical tools and strategies around this task through the experiences of the presenters at The Metropolitan Museum of Art. The museum introduced an open access policy in February 2017 with the assistance of the Wikimedia Foundation. (https://www.metmuseum.org/blogs/digital-underground/2017/open-access-at-the-met) While this session is data-focused and will discuss techniques and APIs for interacting with the Wikidata and Commons, it is meant to be approachable by even non-programmers. Tools to be discussed include GLAM Wiki Toolset (GWT), Pattypan, Mix-n-Match, Wikidata Distributed Game, TABernacle, spreadsheet utilities, PAWS (Python notebook), and various Python code tools for working with MediaWiki and Wikibase. about this event: https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:WikidataCon_2019/Program/Sessions/Wikidata_Commons_contribution_strategies_for_GLAM_organizations

Wikidata has a diverse community that can help to close the language gap that currently mirrors the lack of diversity of the web at large. The community of Wikidata consists of humans and bots working alongside each other. This hybrid model is unique for a knowledge graph of this size. We want to emphasize on the possibilities that this collaboration can bring and present the current stage of cross-lingual editing of humans and bots. Further, we will discuss current research on how Wikidata can support low-resource Wikipedias with projects such as Scribe and the ArticlePlaceholder. about this event: https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:WikidataCon_2019/Program/Sessions/New_usages_of_Wikidata_to_support_undeserved_language_communities

Wikidata can play a vital role in surfacing notable women and can assist with closing the gender gap in various language Wikipedias. Using the example of under acknowledged women in the field of natural history, this presentation will show how Wikidata editors can collate data enabling researchers to more easily locate, investigate and publish on underrepresented women. The interlinking of elements in the Wikimedia Commons Structured Data project can assist editors in establishing sufficient notability for Wikidata items for these women. This in turn can assist Wikipedians to overcome the notability criteria for Wikipedia articles. This presentation will outline the practical steps needed to ensure the creation or improvement of external identifiers for these women through collaboration with other organisations such as the Biodiversity Heritage Library and the Stuttgart Database of Scientific illustrators. This wikiwork can then feed into external organisation outreach campaigns creating a virtuous cycle of data creation, sharing and linking. about this event: https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:WikidataCon_2019/Program/Sessions/HerNaturalHistory:_A_collaboration

Ben Yang, the Director of Technology of PanLex, will be discussing the importance of collecting lexical data for underserved languages, PanLex’s role and methodology, and how Wikidata and PanLex could work together to enable language communities to use their mother tongues in the wider world through the collection and dissemination of lexical data. about this event: https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:WikidataCon_2019/Program/Sessions/Keynote:_PanLex

Wikimedia Finland plans to enrich data for the minority and indigenous languages and cultures in Finland via Wikidata. We are tackling this challenge from many angles, three of which we will discuss in our talk. First and foremost, we have to ensure that Wikidata is set up properly so these communities can use their language on Wikimedia projects to begin with. Secondly, we look for ways to engage with the communities as well as computational linguists and terminologists to produce and enter terminology into Wikidata. The means can range from term-a-thons and translate-a-thons to producing a gamified app in a popular context. Thirdly, we will highlight ways in which our work can be reused by the indigenous communities. For example, media can be tagged in these languages via Wikidata, specialized glossaries can be autogenerated much like infoboxes in the Catalan Wikipedia, and the Wikidocumentaries project becomes navigable in those languages, even when the language does not have a Wikipedia of its own. The talk will demonstrate actions already taken as well as ideas for further work. about this event: https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:WikidataCon_2019/Program/Sessions/Experimenting_with_Wikidata_in_the_Saami_languages_and_the_Saami_languages_in_Wikidata

die Koalition zwischen Türkis und Blau hat dank Ibizagate das Zeitliche gesegnet. Wir verschaffen einen Überblick, was sich in dieser Zeit verändert hat und wir geben einen Überblick darüber, was die Positionen der zu wählenden Parteien sind. Wir schneiden einen großen Themenbereich an. Die Netzpolitik in Österreich. Wir werden unser Thema sehr aktuell halten und über die die netzpolitischen Positionen der zu wählenden Parteien sind. Wenn danach noch Zeit bleibt werden wir über die Vermächtnisse der Türkis/Blauen Regierung reden: Überwachungspaket, Fluggastdatenspeicherung,... sowie über Änderungen auf der EU-Ebene: Copyright-Reform, E-Evidence und über Auswirkungen Höchstrichterlicher Entscheidungen auf österreichische Gesetze VfGH Urteil about this event: https://cfp.privacyweek.at/pw19/talk/HFCSVQ/

In letzter Zeit häufen sich Forderungen von Politikern nach einer Regulation des Instant Messengers Marktes. Obwohl das Wort Regulation in der Tech-Community häufig negativ konnotiert ist, ist dem Vorschlag durchaus etwas abzugewinnen. Schaut man sich die Reaktionen der Tech-Community auf [Katarina Barley’s Tweet](https://twitter.com/katarinabarley/status/1125886048117112833) oder der Newscoverage darüber an, sind diese in großer Mehrheit negativ. Der (ehemaligen) Justizministerin wird Inkompetenz vorgeworfen und an der technischen Durchsetzbarkeit gezweifelt. Dabei ist der Vorschlag Instant Messenger zur Interoperabilität¹ zu zwingen im Grunde ein richtiger Ansatz und technisch durchaus machbar. Ein regulierter Instant Messaging Markt würde den Netzwerkeffekt aufbrechen und datenschutzfreundlichen Alternativen zu WhatsApp und Co eine faire Chance geben. Die politische Durchsetzbarkeit erst einmal außen vor gelassen (Andere Regularien wie der GDPR, die auch internationale Konzerne Betreffen wurden auch durchgesetzt) bespricht dieser Vortrag wie eine solche Regulierung technisch und organisatorisch aussehen könnte. Dabei werden die Vor- und Nachteile einer erzwungenen Interoperabilität gegeneinander abgewogen und auch mit bereits existierenden, interoperablen (Open-Source) Lösungen vergleichen. Der Vortragende greift dabei auf seine Erfahrung zurück, die er in 5+ Jahren Arbeit am Herstellerunabhängigen Instant Messaging Protokoll XMPP gewonnen hat. In den Vortrag fließen auch die Erfahrungen mit ein, die der Vortragende durch seine Mitgliedschaft in der XMPP Standards Foundation (XSF) gewonnen hat. Die XSF ist eine Plattform, auf der mehrere Parteien gemeinsam einen Instant Messenger Standard entwickeln. Der Vortrag soll nicht als fertig ausgearbeitete Konzept verstanden werden sondern als Auftakt zu einer Debatte über die Vor- und Nachteile einer solchen Gesetzgebung. Die Folien für diesen Vortragen sind auf Github zu finden: [iNPUTmice/talks](https://github.com/iNPUTmice/talks/blob/master/2019_10_24_-_im_regulation.md). ¹ : Nutzern des Messengers A es erlauben mit Nutzer des Messengers B zu kommunizieren. about this event: https://cfp.privacyweek.at/pw19/talk/LDZMGW/

Was passiert, wenn soziale Netzwerke oder Konferenzen von Teilnehmer:innen einen "Klarnamen" einfordern? Was ist denn eigentlich ein "Klarname"? Was bringt so eine Ausweispflicht? Wer verlangt sowas überhaupt, und warum? Und wen benachteiligt sowas? ich möchte keinen Frontalvortrag halten, sondern in Zusammenarbeit mit dem Publikum Antworten auf einige Fragen zum Thema "Klarnamenspflicht" finden. Ein paar Fragen bringe ich selbst mit, ich freue mich über Erweiterung durch das Publikum. Deshalb die Bitte an alle, die zum Vortrag kommen: koffeiniert euch! about this event: https://cfp.privacyweek.at/pw19/talk/XAG7FD/

Sketchnotes, also Notizen mit wenig Text aber viel Grafik, sind eine super Technik, die Vorträge auf der PrivacyWeek festzuhalten. Zeichnen muss eins dafür nicht können, es braucht nur weißes Papier, ein paar Stifte und ein paar Grundlagen. Sketchnotes sehen nicht nur schön aus, sondern helfen vor allem, sich Inhalte besser zu merken. Und bei so viel interessantem Input wie auf der PrivacyWeek ist das trotz Videoaufzeichnungen ein super Skill. In diesem Workshop erfahrt ihr, wo eins Sketchnotes einsetzen kann (hint: praktisch überall, auch abseits von Konferenzen!) und lernt, selbst welche zu kritzeln. Dabei geht es weniger um künstlerisches Talent als um die Strukturierung von Informationen. "Ich kann nicht zeichnen" ist keine Ausrede, denn Linien, Rechtecke und Kreise bekommt jede_r hin! Nach einer Einführung in die Grundlagen des Sketchnotens erarbeiten wir gemeinsam ein visuelles Vokabular für die PrivacyWeek, also wie eins am besten Begriffe zu Sicherheit im Netz, Medienkompetenz und digitaler Welt darstellen kann. Bringt Stifte* mit und kritzelt während der Sketchnote-Übungen eure Notizbücher voll! ***Bestens ausgestattet seid ihr mit weißem Papier, einem schwarzen Fineliner, einem farbigen Stift und ggf. einem hellgrauen Filzstift.** about this event: https://cfp.privacyweek.at/pw19/talk/T7XM3R/
