Hi folks,
This past Sunday WikimediaNYC had the opportunity of training on Wikidata, courtesy of user emw. His slide presentation is here:
His nutshell summary: Wikidata is a way to bring structured data to Wikimedia projects.
Although I knew a little about Wikidata already, his presentation and personal revelation ("I almost never edit Wikipedia now; all my editing is on Wikidata") convinced me that I have to be more active on Wikidata (at least now I know how to begin being more active).
So I'm wondering whether there are any GLAM projects that regularly undertake Wikidata editing/integration as part of their activities.
Other suggested activities from WM/NYC meeting are listed here:
If you've never done any Wikidata, I highly recommend the Wikidata Game:
