University of Edinburgh student intern Claire Panella discusses her work on the Map of Accused Witches in Scotland project.
She was tasked with finding the 'impossible witches' by looking for anomalies and quality assuring all the Scottish witchcraft data uploaded to Wikidata, Wikipedia's sister project, since 2017. Claire created a new quality assurance methodology to compare witchcraft data from Wikidata with its source dataset, the University of Edinburgh's landmark Survey of Scottish Witchcraft (2003). This talk was recorded on 29 March 2023 for the University of Lisbon.
