Wikipedia:Meetup/NYC/ITP Skills Lab: Wikidata

The newest project of the Wikimedia movement, Wikidata is a collaboratively edited, free repository of linked open data that connects knowledge across all 300+ language editions of Wikipedia and its sister projects. This hands-on workshop will cover the basics of Wikidata, including how to edit existing items, model data to create new ones, and query the (still incomplete) sum of all human knowledge.

No experience of anything is required, but you must be an ITP student to attend.
