 * Community updates
 * Our dedicated IRC channel: wikimedia-commons-sd webchat
 * Several Commons community members are working on ways to integrate Wikidata in Wikimedia Commons. While this is not full-fledged structured data yet, this work helps to prepare for future conversion of data, and helps to understand how Wikidata and Commons can work better together.
 * Thanks to Jarekt and other contributors, some Commons templates can now be filled via Wikidata: (Phabricator) and  (Phabricator). Work is ongoing on the  template (Phabricator).
 * Thanks to Mike Peel and others, Wikidata-powered infoboxes can now be added to Commons categories, with the template . ( Example)
 * Multichill is working on an experimental workflow to upload images to Commons via Wikidata (and using metadata from Wikidata). See a part of it here.


 * Things to do / input and feedback requests
 * Join the community focus group!
 * Do you want to help out translating messages about Structured Data on Commons from English to your own language? Sign up on the translators page.

Structured Data on Commons Newsletter - Summer 2018
''Welcome to the newsletter for Structured Data on Wikimedia Commons! You can update your subscription to the newsletter and contribute to the next issue. Do inform others who you think will want to be involved in the project!''


 * Community updates
 * Our dedicated IRC channel: wikimedia-commons-sd webchat
 * Since our last newsletter, the Structured Data team has moved into designing and building prototypes for various features. The use of multilingual captions in the UploadWizard and on the file page has been researched, designed, discussed, and built out for use. Behind the scenes, back-end work on search is taking place and designs are being drawn up for the front-end. There will soon be specifications published for the use of the first Wikidata property on Commons, "Depicts," and a prototype is to be released to go along with that.


 * Things to do / input and feedback requests


 * A workshop on what Wikidata properties Commons will need. This workshop will be open for the entire month of July 2018 at minimum.


 * Join the community focus group!
 * Do you want to help out translating messages about Structured Data on Commons from English to your own language? Sign up on the translators page.
 * Contribute to the next newsletter.
 * Discussions held


 * In late February there was a discussion around how Commons generally sees data being modeled.


 * The first discussion on copyright and licensing with Commons was held in March. This was a "high level" discussion, there will be a consultation later this summer about the deeper mapping of copyright and licensing in a structured way.
 * In April there was an exercise for GLAM partners in metadata and ontology mapping.
 * A discussion about the design for Multilingual Captions on the file page took place in May. You can still review the designs and leave feedback.
 * There was an IRC office hour in June to discuss progress so far and future plans.


 * Wikimania 2018
 * Three sessions about Structured Commons are officially scheduled for Wikimania 2018 - Cape Town, South Africa - July 2018.
 * Wikimedia Commons and GLAM needs around the world (Friday 20 July, 10:30 local time)
 * Structured Data on Wikimedia Commons and knowledge equity (Friday 20 July, 14:00 local time)
 * Design challenge workshop: How can multilingual structured metadata bring knowledge equity to Commons? (Friday 20 July, 14:30 local time)
 * Structured Data on Commons is also a focus area during the Wikimania 2018 Hackathon. We will, among other things, do 'live' modelling of Wikidata properties for Commons - an offline spin-off of the community consultation taking place on wiki.


 * Partners and allies
 * We are still welcoming (more) staff from GLAMs (Galleries, Libraries, Archives and Museums) to become part of our long-term focus group (phabricator task T174134). You will be kept in the loop of the project, and receive regular small surveys and requests for feedback. Get in touch with Sandra if you're interested - your input in helping to shape this project is highly valued!
 * Structured Data on Commons was presented to GLAM audiences during EuropeanaTech 2018 in Rotterdam (15 May 2018) and at the Deutsche Digitale Bibliothek Forum in Berlin (4 June 2018).


 * Research

Two research projects about Wikimedia Commons are currently ongoing, or in the process of being finished:


 * 1) Research:Curation workflows on Wikimedia Commons—a project that seeks to understand the current workflows of Commons contributors who curate media (categorize it, delete it, link to it from other projects, etc.).
 * 2) Research:Technical needs of external re-users of Commons media—soliciting feedback from individuals and organizations that re-use Commons content outside of Wikimedia projects, in order to understand their current painpoints and unmet needs.




 * Development
 * Prototypes will be available for Depicts soon.


 * Stay up to date!

Structured Data Newsletter - Research link fix
Greetings,

The newsletter omitted two interwiki prefixes, breaking the links on non-meta wikis as you might see above. Here are the correct links:


 * 1) m:Research:Curation workflows on Wikimedia Commons—a project that seeks to understand the current workflows of Commons contributors who curate media (categorize it, delete it, link to it from other projects, etc.).
 * 2) m:Research:Technical needs of external re-users of Commons media—soliciting feedback from individuals and organizations that re-use Commons content outside of Wikimedia projects, in order to understand their current painpoints and unmet needs.

My apologies, I hope you find the corrected links helpful.

Preston Tower
Thank you for the likes! I was worried someone would mind, but it seemed quite logical ... well to me at least, because I'm a fan of the other one and finding the "wrong" one routinely was driving me nuts!

Oh, and if you want to take your editing and reffing expertise to t'other one, please please be my guest! It is very weedy at the moment.

Your one looks great - I must try to go and see it one day ...

Skye women editathon on 19 and 20 October
Hi Sara. I have brought this initiative to the attention of the Women in Red project as I am pretty sure our members would be happy to help things along. In this connection, I have been trying to contact but have not yet received any response. In particular, I thought it would be useful to have a meetup page for the event. It would allow us to help with red links and participate more generally in covering women from Skye. I would appreciate anything you can do to help with this over the next couple of days.--Ipigott (talk) 06:33, 17 October 2018 (UTC)
 * Hi there ! Thanks so much for getting in contact. Delphine's been on leave so won't have seen your messages yet I'm afraid, but I'm sure she'll be in touch very soon. I'll see if there's anything I can do to help, too. Lirazelf (talk) 13:25, 17 October 2018 (UTC)

Captions in January
The previous message from today says captions will be released in November in the text. January is the correct month. My apologies for the potential confusion. -- Keegan (WMF) (talk) 20:43, 7 January 2019 (UTC)

Structured Data - file captions coming this week (January 2019)
My apologies if this is a duplicate message for you, it is being sent to multiple lists which you may be signed up for.

Hi all, following up on last month's announcement...

Multilingual file captions will be released this week, on either Wednesday, 9 January or Thursday, 10 January 2019. Captions are a feature to add short, translatable descriptions to files. Here's some links you might want to look follow before the release, if you haven't already:


 * 1) Read over the help page for using captions - I wrote the page on mediawiki.org because captions are available for any MediaWiki user, feel free to host/modify a copy of the page here on Commons.
 * 2) Test out using captions on Beta Commons.
 * 3) Leave feedback about the test on the captions test talk page, if you have anything you'd like to say prior to release.

Additionally, there will be an IRC office hour on Thursday, 10 January with the Structured Data team to talk about file captions, as well as anything else the community may be interested in. Date/time conversion, as well as a link to join, are on Meta.

Thanks for your time, I look forward to seeing those who can make it to the IRC office hour on Thursday. -- Keegan (WMF) (talk) 21:09, 7 January 2019 (UTC)
