Hi everyone,  today’s summer-break edition is for anyone who likes free and open knowledge. There is a short video that explains the intriguing new
<strong>
 Wikifunctions
</strong>
project. Besides that I will talk about my experiences of creating a Wikidata page about a company, hopefully it inspires you to also contribute to free and open knowledge.

FAIR Data Digest #11

Hi everyone,  last week I told you about
<em>
 European Research Infrastructures Consortia
</em>
or ERIC in short. Today we gonna look into one of these ERICs that is active in the Cultural Heritage field. I also have to celebrate a tiny anniversary related to Wikidata and I will share a resource about FAIR Jupyter notebooks.

FAIR Data Digest #7

Dear subscriber,  Welcome to the first edition of my new weekly newsletter! Within different recurring categories I will provide updates of my work, my personal journey, and topics such as Knowledge Graphs, Linked Data, FAIR data, Open Science and many more. It is conference season!

FAIR Data Digest #1

Hi everyone,  today’s edition is about FAIR data that is not necessarily related to cultural heritage, but related to cars 🚗. We will have a look into an Open Data dataset of the Dutch government that provides data which hopefully helps me to answer some questions about
<strong>
 child safety seats
</strong>
. Statistics shown in this post come from this GitHub repository.

FAIR Data Digest #23

Hi everyone,  I hope you had a great summer. The academic year is about to start and I hope you are hungry for some knowledge :-) In today’s edition I want to introduce you to the European Open Science Cloud (EOSC).  ::: {.subscription-widget-wrap attrs=“{"url":"https://fairdata.substack.com/subscribe?","text":"Subscribe","language":"en"}” component-name=“SubscribeWidgetToDOM”}  Thanks for reading FAIR Data Digest!

FAIR Data Digest #14

Hi everyone,  this last summer-break edition ties in with the previous edition. Last week I’ve wrote over research to make
<strong>
 publication metadata
</strong>
from the free publishing service CEUR-WS
<strong>
 available in a FAIR fashion
</strong>
, such that the data can be explored.

FAIR Data Digest #13

Hi everyone,  welcome to the 3rd edition of my newsletter! Besides the fact that we have suffered the first official heat wave in Belgium this year, I have other hot information to share.

FAIR Data Digest #3

Dear subscriber,  welcome to the second edition of the newsletter and also a warm welcome to all new subscribers. It has been an interesting week. In this edition I will talk about some work updates, a one-day workshop I’ve attended last week and I have a video recommendation.

FAIR Data Digest #2

Hi everyone,  welcome to today’s edition on the the
<em>
 European Day of Languages
</em>
(Q496423).  ::: {.subscription-widget-wrap attrs=“{"url":"https://fairdata.substack.com/subscribe?","text":"Subscribe","language":"en"}” component-name=“SubscribeWidgetToDOM”}  Thanks for reading FAIR Data Digest! Subscribe for free to receive new posts and support my work.

FAIR Data Digest #17

Hi everyone,  in today’s slightly more technical edition I will focus on my recent encounters with the Linked Data query language SPARQL. Many of you may know it as a language to retrieve data (possibly from Wikidata). I mainly use it for a project where I recently found some performance issues that could be resolved by either rewriting the query or changing the approach.

FAIR Data Digest #22

Hello everyone,  welcome to today’s Halloween edition about
<em>
 data anti-patterns
</em>
that hopefully will scare you so much you don’t do them :-) Things you better avoid when aiming for FAIR data. Anti patterns?

FAIR Data Digest #20

Hi everyone,  greetings from Karlsruhe in Germany where I am attending a conference about research data infrastructure at the moment.

FAIR Data Digest #15

Hi everyone,  I’m on vacation now, but thanks to pre-scheduling you won’t miss out FAIR data updates! Today I want to share with you a research paper in which the authors report on the creation of large amounts of FAIR data which they host on Wikidata.

FAIR Data Digest #12

Hi everyone,  it has been a while since we talked about research infrastructures. Many of them might sound abstract or just like super specialized app stores. But today we have a brief look into something very tangible: heritage objects that are analyzed by instruments or are digitized in other forms. There is lots of diverse data in Heritage Science. ❓ FAIR Buzzword Bingo: what is E-RIHS?

FAIR Data Digest #21

Hi everyone,  welcome back to today’s edition in which I share a work update related to bibliographic data and provide information to an upcoming interesting talk. ::: {.subscription-widget-wrap attrs=“{"url":"https://fairdata.substack.com/subscribe?","text":"Subscribe","language":"en"}” component-name=“SubscribeWidgetToDOM”}  Thanks for reading FAIR Data Digest!

FAIR Data Digest #19

Hi everyone,  this edition starts with two announcements before it dives into the topic of software engineering skills for data science. This newsletter started as a
<strong>
 weekly newsletter
</strong>
in which I shared topics around FAIR data and updates about my work. Selecting one or more topics each week is fun and helps myself to
<em>
 summarize
</em>
and
<em>
 understand
</em>
topics better.

FAIR Data Digest #18

Hi everyone,  welcome to another summer-break edition. This time with a webinar recording about persistent identifiers for FAIR data and news about data cataloging with DCAT both in Europe and the US.  ::: {.subscription-widget-wrap attrs=“{"url":"https://fairdata.substack.com/subscribe?","text":"Subscribe","language":"en"}” component-name=“SubscribeWidgetToDOM”}  Thanks for reading FAIR Data Digest!

FAIR Data Digest #10

Hi everyone,  greetings to one of our summer editions! Whether you're on vacation, just back, or about to head off, I've got some interesting content to share with you.

FAIR Data Digest #9

Hi everyone,  in today’s edition I will try to explain what DARIAH / CLARIAH is and what they do in the context of FAIR data. I am also sharing a video of some recent presentations about Wikipedia from the Wikimedia Research Showcase. ::: {.subscription-widget-wrap attrs=“{"url":"https://fairdata.substack.com/subscribe?","text":"Subscribe","language":"en"}” component-name=“SubscribeWidgetToDOM”}  Thanks for reading FAIR Data Digest!

FAIR Data Digest #8

Hi everyone,  if you are a researcher and you want to follow the FAIR data principles you are not left alone. In today’s edition I will try to explain what ERIC is and what they have to do with FAIR data. As for work updates: I was on a small camping vacation in France, so there are no work updates, but I came back with many ideas for the future!

FAIR Data Digest #6

Hi everyone,  did you ever wonder how FAIR data is put into practice? This week I went down the rabbit hole and what I brought back is the start of a new series to
<strong>
 unravel the many FAIR data initiatives
</strong>
. There are also some good news for (Belgian) FAIR data in my work update!

FAIR Data Digest #5

Hi everyone,  this week it’s all about hands-on! I will talk about a webinar on trying to fix quality issues in Wikidata by using its ontology. Additionally I will share a few resources around basics and advanced uses of the query language SPARQL that is used to query Linked Data, for example from Wikidata.

FAIR Data Digest #4

Hi everyone,  as promised, today you will hear more about the research data infrastructure conference where I and around
<strong>
 680 other people
</strong>
attended last week in Karlsruhe, Germany. Grab a cup of coffee of tea and enjoy today’s edition!

🔍 The European Union has 24 official languages and therefore constantly
a lot of official documents need to be translated. What is the **history
of the EU translation department** (the EU translation service) and how
is it related to **FAIR data**? Find out in today's *insights* section.

🌐 Probably you know that: you start adding some information to one
Wikidata item to create some nice visualizations and then you realize
that the entity to which you would like to link does not yet exist. Last
week while adding a few entities related to the conference I have been
to recently, I noticed that some important entity was missing. Checkout
today's *Wikidata spotlight* to learn more about it.

Did you know that today is the *European Day of Languages*
([Q496423](https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q496423))? It was established
in 2001 to alert the public about the importance of language learning,
promote the linguistic diversity of Europe and encourage lifelong
learning. I found a piece of **fascinating institutional history**, but
before I share the link with you I would like to focus on how this
relates to **FAIR data**.

As you can imagine, the beginning of translation services in the EU
(1951 onwards) was accompanied by a lot of **manual translation work**.
Back then probably by employees with typewriters. Even after computers
became a commodity, human experts stayed necessary. After all, we are
not talking about internal communication, but drafting **high quality
translations** for **official EU documents** such as legislation. All
that labor, all those documents, they must have some value right?

I am not an expert in Machine Learning, but I know that **good training
data is essential!** The tremendous amount of translated texts from
official EU bodies is the kind of FAIR data I am talking about. One
early example, the following research paper from 2006 introduced a large
corpus of by then 20 EU languages with parallel paragraph alignment of
190+ language pairs, **classified with the EUROVOC vocabulary**
([Q1370467](https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q1370467)): *The JRC-Acquis: A
multilingual aligned parallel corpus with 20+* languages ([DOI:
10.48550/arXiv.cs/0609058](https://doi.org/10.48550/arXiv.cs/0609058)).

You can **find** EU legislation on the
[EUR-Lex](https://eur-lex.europa.eu/homepage.html) platform
([Q1276282](https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q1276282)) and via the
[N-Lex](https://n-lex.europa.eu/n-lex/) interface
([Q16465232](https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q16465232)) you can search in
national databases. Content in the EUR-Lex platform is identified among
others with the **CELEX** **identifier**
([P476](https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Property:P476)). There are **open
licenses**: the metadata on EUR-Lex has a CC0 license, the editorial
content, summaries of EU legislation and consolidated texts under a CC
BY 4.0 license. And additionally:

> *"The Commission's document reuse policy is based on [Decision
> 2011/833/EU](https://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/EN/TXT/?uri=CELEX:32011D0833).
> Unless otherwise specified, you can re-use the legal documents
> published in EUR-Lex for commercial or non-commercial purposes."*

**Thus this data really is FAIR!** Openly available corpora of
high-quality translations. And I'm not only talking about the text data.
There was also a substantial amount of work to **build and align
terminologies** between all the diverse language pairs, including not
only languages like English, French or Spanish that are spoken in other
parts of the world.

Curious and up for a bit of **fascinating history**? Check out the tools
and workflows of the EU commission and additionally learn about the work
of translators in the 1950s, 1960s and so on. Check out the open access
publication *Translation at the European Commission -- A history* ([DOI:

# 🌐 Wikidata spotlight: conference proceedings {#wikidata-spotlight-conference-proceedings}

<div>

Last week I spent some time on Wikidata to add some niche information.
Then I realized that an important entity was missing.

As I mentioned last week, I have been at a conference organized at the
Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) in Karlsruhe, Germany. Obviously
on Wikidata you have entities for the city Karlsruhe
([Q1040](https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q1040)), the country Germany
([Q183](https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q183)) and the KIT
([Q309988](https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q309988)). A while ago I also
created already an item for the conference series
([Q120753642](https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q120753642)) and the 2023
edition of the conference
([Q120753666](https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q120753666)). But what about
the **conference proceedings**?

shows conferences in Germany with and without proceedings. But **how are
proceedings actually represented in Wikidata?** I looked at existing
conferences and it turns out that it is similar to conferences: there is
a distinction between between a proceedings series and particular
proceedings.

A proceedings series usually links to a **publisher**. The CoRDI
proceedings were published Open Access by the German National Library of
Science and Technology (TIB)
([Q2399120](https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q2399120)). However, the
particular publishing entity **TIB Open Publishing was not yet on
Wikidata!** I was surprised that there was no entity for it yet. I cross
checked to be sure and afterwards I created the entity with information
found on their website
