- Abstract (up to 300 words to describe your proposal)
Wikimedia platforms do not make much use of multimedia, for a variety of reasons. Here, we zoom in on sounds — specifically, sounds generated from data through a process called sonification — and outline an emerging initiative to enrich Wikimedia platforms with sonifications and to improve sonification-related content by collaborating with the International Community for Auditory Display. Starting with a Wikimedia-inspired sonification doathon at their annual meeting in June this year, we plan to make the interaction between both communities more systematic, and by the time of Wikimania, hope to have a useful set of examples that can inspire others to engage with future joint activities.
