This is an event organised by DNAdigest with support from WMUK

Your knowledge is valuable.Could you come share it with the world? Learn, contribute and build upon on the open knowledge within Wikipedia.

DNAdigest is organising a wiki editathon on May 29th open to everyone. The aim of the editathon is to make it easier to find new resources, online tools and recent content for genetics research when searching Wikipedia. We want to make wikipedia enriched with new content and links. Everything from “genetic data sharing”, “gene research”, "DNA data", “genomic formats”, “gene data governance” to queries related to: “How should I manage my data and how can I make it available for other researchers?”,"Where can I find and understand what a gene does?","Where can I contribute to genetic research?",“Where can I store my data in a public repository? What data goes in which repository?”,“How can I find data that I may access and use for my research?”.Join us on May 29th, either in person or online as a wikipedia contributor.

We are inviting the participation of the broad range of people including students, the general public, geneticists, data analysts, bioinformaticians, developers anyone who has an interest in this topic. The knowledge of our community has been exemplified with the extensive references and documentation already gathered during our hack days (see examples: existing metadata standards, tools and standards.) Our previous hackdays have benefited vastly from this multitude of experiences and perspectives, please do join us regardless of your experience. We want to increase the wikipedia knowledge base on practices for genetic data sharing and link out to relevent resources, tutorials, databases, data format standards and organisations. We'll provide the space, food and drink. Please do come with your knowledge.

We will have access to a rich collection of printed and electronic works about women in science, including biographies and works authored by scientists; together with target articles to edit on Wikipedia. Attendees will be encouraged to work together to edit those articles, using the University’s resources and with support from University librarians. The workshop is open to people who are new to Wikipedia as well as experienced Wikipedia editors. Refreshments will be provided.
