Abstract

Abstract The Wikidata Lab presents a series of interdisciplinary meetings, organized by the Wiki Movimento Brasil, with the aim of studying the potential of the Wikidata platform. This platform, in conjunction with Wikipedia, Wikimedia Commons, and Wikiversity, among others, is part of the collaborative platform ecosystem of the Wikimedia Foundation. Using a normative case study, our objective is to understand how Wikidata Labs could offer a direction for research in the field of Communication and Information and how they could articulate the so-called computational turn in the humanities, collaborative work on platforms, and projects in Digital Humanities. Among the characteristics we have identified in the projects of Wikidata Labs are the utilization of the “laboratory” format, interdisciplinary collaboration, the development of open and collaborative resources, and the establishment of a community of practices that engage researchers committed to the exploration of this computational turn in the humanities.
