post:
*Last week* we talked about ClaimReview, with a presentation from Chris
Guess (group member and lead technologist at Duke Reporters Lab). See
notes
<https://docs.google.com/document/d/1_eOOdvgYrIVEw6Ug2eiSqPjPPfKy0pE2djyUk1pqkcA/edit>
and a video is available on request. ClaimReview continues to see wide
adoption as a way for fact checkers to make their results available to
platforms and other applications, and various improvements are in the
works. There’s now a high-level website about it, at
claimreviewproject.com <https://www.claimreviewproject.com/>
*This past long weekend* a few of us attended WikiCredCon
<https://wikiconference.org/wiki/2019/Schedule>, a credibility-focused
instance of the North American Wiki Conference.
I was fascinated to see more behind the scenes of the Wikipedia world
and was surprised how much difficult work is necessary to keep Wikipedia
running. Perhaps most daunting from a credibility perspective is how
hard it is to combat the sock puppets / bots. Many parallel tracks, so
each of us could only see a small slice of the conference. Most sessions
had extensive note-taking and even video recording, thanks to sponsors.
Not all the video is online yet, and currently session notes are at the
“etherpad” links from the session detail pages; I imagine those might
move soon.
*This week (tomorrow)*, group member Brendan Quinn (Managing Director of
IPTC <https://iptc.org/about-iptc/> – the global standards body of the
news media) will present and lead a discussion about their current work
with credibility data interoperability. See you there!
