DESCRIPTION: Ian Watt - "Python and Wikidata - a match made in heaven?" \n\
 n Description: Wikidata is one of the largest\, if not the largest\, colla
 borative Linked Open Data databases in the world. It has almost 100million
  items in it. These represent about 12 billion data triples. Anyone can re
 ad from it (and all data there has a CC0 licence for re-use). Anyone with 
 a Wiki(data)/(pedia) / Commons account can write to it. And like everythin
 g in the Wikimedia universe there are multiple ways to do any task. Tonigh
 t Ian will give a very brief introduction to Wikidata\, but will focus mai
 nly on a look at some Python libraries designed to interact with Wikidata.
  In the practical session we will try one of the libraries and extract som
 e Wikidata for use in our own analysis. While you will not need to registe
 r for a Wikidata account to take part in the practical session\, Ian does 
 receommend that you register and get involved improving Wikidata quality. 
 \n\n Bio: Ian is a co-founder and trustee of Code The City a local charity
  which uses tech and data for civic good. He graduated with a Masters in D
 ata Science from RGU. He is a Wikimedia UK trainer who has delivered cours
 es in Wikipedia editing\, the use of Wiki Commons\, and Wikidata which is 
 his favourite platform. He has over 100\,000 Wikidata edits to his name. H
 e is very keen on local and social history\, and art\, and recently worked
  with Aberdeen Art Gallery and Museums to upload 4\,200 openly-licensed im
 ages of artworks in the collection to Wiki Commons\, each with correspondi
 ng Wikidata items. \n\n ----------------------------- \n\n A monthly meeti
 ng of the Aberdeen Python user community. A talk or two then a practical s
 ession of using Python in small teams. \n\n This event is orgnanised by a 
 charity - Code The City. CTC suggests a small donation to help with charit
 y admin costs\, but if this is a barrier please just change the ticket pri
 ce to what you can afford. \n\n We hope to be able to have both a physical
  and online version of this meet-up. We are waiting to hear from our hosts
  One Techhub on whether they will be open and what the conditions of atten
 ding would be. If you select a physical ticket and it happens that we can 
 not meet physically you will have to attend the Zoom session. If you choos
 e a physical ticket and it goes ahead you will have to comply with any con
 ditions of attendance (eg masks or social distancing) that the venue opera
 tors demand at the time. \n
