Since Wikidata’s launch in 2012 as an open, collaboratively edited knowledge base, it’s held great promise for the library and scholarly communication community more broadly. Institutions and individual information professionals turned Wikidatans are using Wikidata to build a community-owned infrastructure for the bibliographic ecosystem, including open source tools that generate profiles of scholars, organizations, and publications. This workshop will introduce participants to Wikidata and its linked data infrastructure, including opportunities for hands-on editing and an overview of tools that facilitate data contribution and use. Participants will leave prepared to connect with existing Wikidata initiatives, and with entry points to launch their own.

This workshop, organised by Knowledge Exchange (KE - http://www.knowledge-exchange.info/), will explain the KE OS Framework (http://www.knowledge-exchange.info/event/os-framework). This event will highlight the most significant outcomes of four recent KE activities and how they fit into the framework:

• The Economy of Open Scholarship and the need for Collective Action
• Insights in the Economy of Open Scholarship
• The Openness Profile
• Practices, Drivers and Impediments in the Use of Preprints

Following the introduction, participants will engage in group discussions, during which they will apply the OS Framework structure in order to analyse the specific ambitions and objectives formulated in Plan S and FAIR data efforts. Participants will therefore get to experience the potential of the OS Framework to address real-world challenges in open scholarship. Additionally, discussions during the workshop will increase general understanding of the challenges facing open scholarship and how collective action approaches can help.
