| Abstract |
This software demonstration presents approaches to employ Wikibase in a university course on Terminology, and results of terminology projects lead by students. Wikibase, an extension of MediaWiki, is the software that underlies Wikidata, a very large crowdsourced queriable knowledge graph. We use an own Wikibase instance for cloud-based collaborative student projects on Terminology in Basque, a European minority language spoken in Spain and France, and co-official in some regions of Spain. We show that the course work with and about this software covers a great deal of what a course in Terminology for students in the translator and interpreters training should cover; it embraces relevant facets of knowledge engineering, and the acquisition of the features of a graph database and its user interface. The datasets created in student projects and partially shared through Wikidata are examples for a low-barrier crowdsourcing terminology workflow, eventually useful in other contexts as well. |
