DESCRIPTION:"In a joint talk with the Wikipedia Society\, Dr Magnus Manske
  will speak on Wikidata: the free knowledge base that can be read and edit
 ed by humans and machines alike. It is for data what Wikimedia Commons is 
 for media files: it centralizes access to and management of structured dat
 a\, such as interwiki references and statistical information. It has been 
 described as one of the most exciting innovations in encyclopedic history\
 , since it enables us to structure data on Wikipedia and interlink concept
 s from different languages. Come along to learn more about all its functio
 nality\, how it works\, and how it will change the future!"\n\nAdmission f
 ree to CUCaTS members\, £2 otherwise. Membership may also be bought at th
 e door. As usual refreshments will be served 15 minutes before the start o
 f the talk.
