SALVE,
SAND AND
RE-CITE-WORLD

(Alice's Adventure in Wonderland)

The story begins:

Actually it's a rehashing and remixing of older stories

This particular source parody has many chapters

It's Free-to-Read and -Reuse

  • Like Alices

It has a License

  • It's CC-BY, which Lewis Carroll no longer insists on

You can read it on Wikisource

  • Allows to "deeper-link", transcribe math, browse by author

Wikimedia Commons

  • Upload media for easier reuse in articles and beyond

Wikidata

  • Opportunity to manage source metadata and citations

The Rabbit Hole

'and what is the use of a book,' thought Alice, 'without pictures or conversations?'

Wikiquote

PubMed Central

  • We first travel to a foreign land

Enter the Rabbit Hole

  • We made a web-tool where you can throw a DOI

The Rabbit Hole

  • We find cakes there that expand XML representations

Transforming To Get Through The Doorway

Wikisource

"They're dreadfully fond of beheading people here; the great wonder is, that there's any one left alive!"

  • a joke—our bot was blocked... temporarily.

Wikisource

'I can't explain myself, I'm afraid, sir' said Alice, 'because I'm not myself, you see.'

  • Copy of a copy of a copy...

Wikisource

  • Linkrot: 6 years is the average lifespan of a URL (via Crossref)

Commons

Alice waited till the [Cheshire Cat's] eyes appeared, and then nodded. 'It's no use speaking to it,' she thought, 'till its ears have come, or at least one of them.'

Commons & Wikisource

  • And we also handle the images of the articles, in-line:

Commons

  • All the parts of the Cheshire Cat are revealed

Wikidata

The chief difficulty Alice found at first was in managing her flamingo

Wikidata

  • Thankfully we made our own flamingo manager

Wikidata

  • A semantic flamingo manager

Wikidata

  • A hyperlinked flamingo universe
  • Publishers and statisticians will love this

Lessons Learned

  • Wikimedia is a Wonderland
    • Wild, unpredictable, but persevere
    • Seek community, support
  • Be Experimental
    • Try things out, test boundaries
    • Ask many questions
  • Lots @TODO
    • Opportunities abound Wikimedia & Open Access
    • More the merrier!

Next Steps

Thank You
