This is awesome Barbara: Kudos! 

Generally, the next couple years should be a growing set of opportunities between Europeana and Wikimedia communities. Wikidata is mature enough to be useful, Structured Data on Commons is coming (which means the kinds of data needed for media data, will also be enriched by our community), and Europeana continues to invest in programming that brings the communities closer.

I think one of the biggest challenges (and I am actually talking to folks in DPLA about this too), is making sure that all the work on identifiers that we integrate into Wikidata also finds its way into matching institutional metadata. Gently pushing in that direction would be awesome :)

Cheers, 

Alex

Kudos Barbara,

I read the blog and totally agree with you regarding the fact that contents, after being free and available, need a further processing so as to make them reusable by various entry points (bloggers, bots, scientists, artists, etc).

You could focus on that aspect, the reusability of data. The Wikidata project stands out as a perfect paragon of this concept. Explaining how the structured-data approach of wikidata itself can facilitate content reusability across various targets could be valuable.

Cheers,

Dear colleages,

in a nutshell: Europeana is the European answer to the Google art project. It might not contain so awesome images but a lot more diverse material. I am very happy that I was elected to become a member of its council last fall. For the first time a Wikimedia representative has become a member and here you find my introduction blogpost, published today:

In February the new council will meet. Please, come with ideas on what I should focus beyond the things I mentioned in the blog post.
