Wikidata and Research 2025

Wikidata and Research 2025 is a focused conference at the intersection of open knowledge infrastructure and scientific research, dedicated to the role of Wikidata — the world's largest openly licensed structured knowledge base — in enabling and accelerating research across disciplines. Topics include the use of Wikidata for semantic enrichment of scientific literature, knowledge graph-based research infrastructure, open data and FAIR principles in scholarly communication, altmetrics, data reuse patterns, and tools for querying and contributing to Wikidata in research workflows.

The conference attracts information scientists, library researchers, semantic web developers, open science advocates, and domain scientists who have discovered that Wikidata's breadth and open license make it a uniquely valuable substrate for linking and enriching research data. It is particularly relevant for researchers building knowledge graph pipelines, digital humanities scholars who use structured data for cultural analysis, and data librarians who support open and FAIR scholarly communication in their institutions.
