Line 1: {{Wikimedia Tunisie/menu\|active=4}} ~~{{doing}}~~ <big>This is the Wikimedia TN User Group report of the year 2019</big> ~~== Group meetings ==~~ == Workshops == === [http://sparql-wikidata-2019.smr-team.org SPARQL: Be connected to Wikidata] === On 25, 26 and 27 June 2019, Houcemeddine Turki and University of Sfax researchers Mohamed Ben Aouicha, Mohamed Ali Hadj Taieb, Raida Ktari, Ali Salem and Mahmoud Ghorbel organized the first Wikidata Workshop in Tunisia. This workshop has been organized with the collaboration of Aix-Marseille University and aims to introduce Wikidata and SPARQL query language to the computer scientists of the University of Sfax. The workshop was presented by Houcemeddine Turki and respected Semantic web professor Odile Papini and was attended by 31 research scientists. Thanks to this meeting, SPARQL applications have been proposed for ontology validation and use of Wikidata. <gallery> SPARQL, Be Connected to Wikidata - Day 01 - Wikidata Presentation 02.jpg\|Houcemeddine Turki during his session of the workshop SPARQL, Be Connected to Wikidata - Day 03 - Advanced introduction to SPARQL 02.jpg\|Odile Papini during one of her sessions of the workshop SPARQL, Be Connected to Wikidata - Certificates.jpg\|Certificates delivered to participants </gallery> == Projects ==▼ === [[User:Dyolf77/ClubWiki\|Club Wiki]] ===▼ "ClubWiki" is a club for students and teachers in the Higher Institute of Technological Studies (ISET) of Nabeul in Tunisia. Launched by Habib M'henni, the purpose of this club is to introduce WMF wikis to the community of ISET Nabeul and consequently to train people there to become active contributors to Wikipedia and sister projects. <gallery> ClubWiki TN.svg\|The Club logo▼ Atelier mois contribution, ClubWiki Iset de Nabeul, mars 2019.jpg\|First participants▼ </gallery> === [[MedinaPedia Sfax]] === [[File:Medinapedia Sfax team.jpg\|thumb\|Houcemeddine Turki, Mohamed Mseddi and Houssem Abida when working on MedinaPedia Sfax project]] This year, in partnership with Carthagina and Sfax El Mezyena organizations and the National Institute of Heritage, the user group continued its work to ameliorate the coverage on the old town of Sfax in Wikipedia, Wikimedia Commons and Wikidata. Thanks to provided efforts, the project has been finished in late July 2019 with the upload of 547 images to Wikimedia Commons and the creation of 72 articles in French Wikipedia with a significant rate of non-stub articles. The project is led and coordinated by Houssem Abida and is developed with Houcemeddine Turki, Mohamed Mseddi and Nouha Dammak. === [[TunSci]] === Launched by Houcemeddine Turki in 2011 and closed on August 31, 2019, TunSci is a project that tries to ameliorate the coverage of Tunisian science-related topics in French Wikipedia. For years, this mostly online project succeeded to create non-stub biographies of Tunisian scientists as well as several overviews about the Tunisian science systems. For a full account of created or adjusted articles, click [https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cat%C3%A9gorie:Article_du_projet_TunSci here]. === [[WikiLingua Maghreb]] === WikiLingua Maghreb is a project to ameliorate the support of Arabic languages in WMF wikis. The purpose of this important mission is to ameliorate the intelligibility of Arabic Wikipedia to Arab people. It is jointly led by [[Wikimedia TN User Group]], [[Wikimedia Algeria]], [[Wikimedia Morocco]] and [[Wikimedians of Tamazight User Group]]. So far, we have added detailed descriptions and overviews about these languages to Wikipedia, Wikiquote and Wikivoyage. This year, we continued to promote Wikidata as a tool to add support of Arabic languages other than Modern Standard Arabic. This should be done through the mass integration of Wikidata labels in these languages and the creation of Wikidata Lexicographical data in these varieties. Further information can be found [https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/abstract/document/8308319/ here]. We also continued to upload reference books about these languages to Wikimedia Commons to raise awareness about their distinctive features that let them absolutely different from Modern Standard Arabic. === Wikimedia ~~Summit~~Research ===▼ [[File:Photo med2.jpg\|thumb\|upright\|Dr. Mohamed Ben Aouicha]] Since 2011, the University of Sfax has begun doing Wikimedia [[Research]] under the supervision of Dr. Mohamed Ben Aouicha. At that time, the main project of the team is to use semi-structured data in Wikipedia (Category Graph) and Wiktionary (entities and glosses) as a reference database for semantic similarity and relatedness measures. The team succeeded to find excellent results for using Wikipedia and Wiktionary for assessing semantic similarity and relatedness and to publish their findings in highly prestigious journals: ''Engineering Applications of Artificial Intelligence'', ''Knowledge-Based Systems'', ''Applied Intelligence'', ''Soft Computing'', ''Data and Knowledge Engineering'' and ''Neurocomputing''. This year, the team continued to work on this topic. However, it began to shift its interest to Wikidata-Wikibase by launching two new research projects with the special contributions of Wikimedia TN User Group members Houcemeddine Turki, Helmi Hamdi and Sami Mlouhi: * ''Wikidata-Wikibase applications for smart cities'': This project mainly interests in using Wikidata-Wikibase to ameliorate the support of Health, Education, Communication, Linguistics, Science, IoT, Heritage and other fields. This research project is highly linked to the UN Sustainable Development Goals. In 2019, we published a research paper about Wikidata applications for Health in ''Journal of Biomedical Informatics''. * ''Knowledge graph refinement, validation and learning for Wikidata'': This project tries to use ontological data, IoT and deep learning for evaluating, adjusting and enriching Wikidata. The outcomes of these two projects can be only based on Wikidata or can be hybrid approaches that couple the use of Wikidata-Wikibase with the one of other resources like Wikipedia and MeSH. == Representing the Group == ▲=== Wikimedia Summit === === Wikimania === [[File:Anas & Zeinab at Wikimania 2019.jpg\|thumb\|Zeineb Takouti with the Moroccan user Anass Sedrati]] During [[Wikimania 2019]], a record of ~~six~~five active members went to Stockholm to represent Wikimedia TN User Group: ~~[[User:Dyolf\|Habib M'henni]],~~ [[User:Emnamizouni\|Emna Mizouni]], [[User:~~Yamen~~Csisc\|~~Yamen~~Houcemeddine ~~Bousrih~~Turki]], [[User:Sami Mlouhi\|Sami Mlouhi]], [[User:~~Csisc~~Yamen\|~~Houcemeddine~~Yamen ~~Turki~~Bousrih]] and [[User:Zeinebtakouti\|Zeineb Takouti]]. These members are implicated in a variety of projects ranging from Wikimedia Strategy and Legal issues to Wikidata Research. During this international conference, we participated to African Wikimedians Meeting and to [[WISCom]] meeting with strategy team to contribute to the drawing of a strategy for growing African Wikimedia Community from a quantitative and a qualitative perspective. We also participated to Arab Wikimedians Meeting to establish an Arab Council for the coordination of projects between Arab Wikimedia User Groups and for the development of Arabic Wikipedia in a more efficient way. We also attended Strategy meetings to have an update of the works of interest groups and we discussed its parys with users from Armenia, India, Nigeria and Jordan as well as other countries.

This honor will absolutely push our user group forward to continue to contribute to this topic in a more inspiring way. === [[WikiConvention francophone/2019\|WikiConvention]] === [[File:Équipe tunisienne, WikiConfention 2019, Bruxelles.jpg\|thumb\|Tunisian team in WikiConvention 2019]] The Wikimedia TN User Group was represented by a group of 9 participants in Brussels. Many members were helping in the [[WikiConvention francophone/2019/Équipe\|organization team]]. === ~~Workshops~~WikiIndaba === Three Tunisians (Emna, Sami and Zeineb) attended the fourth edition of WikiIndaba conference, held in Abuja (Nigeria). <gallery> Wiki indaba 2019 day three 18 46 28 501000.jpeg\|Emna during WikiIndaba 2029 Wiki Indaba 2019, day 2 23 46 55 367000.jpeg\|Sami presenting a session about the Creative Commons licenses People at WikiIndaba 1.jpg\|Zeineb and Florence during WikiIndaba 2019 </gallery> === Wikimedia Summit === [[user:Ghabara\|Wael Ghabara]] was the representative of [[Wikimedia Tunisie\|Wikimedia TN User Group]] for this big event.
