DSI Webinar - The ontology of Wikidata: how to interact with it for a better quality

In the framework of the Common European Data Space for cultural heritage, we organised a free training webinar "The ontology of Wikidata, how to interact with it for a better quality".
Many cultural institutions that aggregate data for Europeana use Wikidata elements to enrich their content and improve the quality of their data. The more Wikidata is effective, the better the quality of the results of those who use Wikidata will be.
In this webinar, we learned the characteristics of the Wikidata ontology and how to correctly add new items related to concepts absent in Wikidata by setting the relationships between them and the pre-existing elements (classes and subclasses).
