Hi all,
I've should have posted this earlier here.
Wikimedia France, Wikimedia UK, Wikimedia NL and Wikimedia CH funded a project to create
better tools voor GLAMs to upload their collections, including metadata, to Wikimedia
Commons. Simultaneously the project did research into what GLAMs need in terms of
analytics of these collections to be able to justify sharing their collections on
Wikipedia. The researched can be condensed to a single paragraph requirement:
'A GLAM analytics system is an open dashboard that shows all contributing institutions
with monthly overviews of objects, their plays and their usage in Wiki projects. Ideally,
the data is created by Kraken and presentation is handled through Limn with well-designed
graphs providing exportable datasets.'
This is something that the Analytics team has adopted and will be working on in the coming
period according to Diederik. They started working on importing commons data:
https://mingle.corp.wikimedia.org/projects/analytics/cards/723 something that is probably
important for other people on this list as well like Magnus.
That research has now been published here and includes high-level and low-level
requirements:
