Hello everyone,
We have our next LD4 Wikidata Affinity Group Call on Tuesday, February 22, 2022 at 9am PT
/ 12pm ET / 17:00 UTC / 6pm CET (Time zone
converter<https://zonestamp.toolforge.org/1645549233>)3>). We will be having our first
2022 crossover with the LD4 Discovery Affinity Group! Huda Khan (Cornell University) and
Astrid Usong (Stanford University) will be talking about the linked data integration work
at Cornell University to bring author and subject knowledge panels into Cornell's
library catalog (described
here<https://wiki.lyrasis.org/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=230818255>)5>), which
emerged from explorations in the Linked Data for Production: Closing the Loop (LD4P3)
grant. The knowledge panels use data from Wikidata, DBPedia, and the Library of Congress
(LOC) linked data service. This overview of the work will focus on the data sources and on
the conversations with stakeholders which led to the integration of these features into
production.
The call details are below. Everyone is welcome to attend. If you aren't able to
attend, the meetings are recorded and meeting notes are available on Google
Drive<https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1JwTulCABs0TkGQDVSnYbIYEb7b…-n>. To

The LD4 Wikidata Affinity Group is associated with the LD4 Community and investigates how
libraries can contribute to and better integrate library metadata with Wikidata to improve
access to library resources on the web. The Affinity Group calls provide an informal space
to share information and learn more about Wikidata.
