Personas

Question: What are their needs? How do we provide what they need?

• Data scientist: 1. Enrich data, 2. Use data.
• Citizen Science projects: 1. Take part in #sC Chapter Champions? 2. Take part in re-publishing hackathon (making guides based on IPCC reports). 3. Improve Wikidata IPCC entries with Wiki Project Citizen Science and Climate Change.
• Policy communities: 1. Find literature supporting their question, share the literature with stakeholders/audience,

Have the site keep to standard MediaWiki layout as we wan to emulate the Wikiverse to have people feel comfortable with how things are organised. For this reason keeping positioning of interface should be kept.

The web presence of the project is determined by the MediaWiki/Wikibase and some of our other considerations.

Site has these parts:

• Wiki
• Wikibase
• SPARQL query interface
• Presentation embeds from Wikibase/Sparql - which show off Wikibase queries
• A GitLab presence (for public use we would use GtiLab and not Github)
• Project Quarto website
• Possibly a Federated Wikibase where we allow moderated and reviewed data uploads
