The March 2023 Working Hour will feature a presentation by Ross Spencer of Siegfried
Using a custom Wikibase with Siegfried
In 2020 Ross Spencer worked alongside the team at Yale University Library (Dr Kat
Thornton, Euan Cochran) and Siegfried Developer Richard Lehane to develop an integration
for the popular file format identification tool, and Wikidata. The work has also been
expanded with a little careful configuration to enable the integration to work with custom
Wikibases as well. In this LD4 Wikibase working hour Ross will describe the
Siegfried/Wikidata/Wikibase integration in more detail; engagement between the digital
preservation and wikidata community; and the benefits he sees in this work for the
discipline. Ross is happy to field all and any questions about the work and is especially
happy to receive questions in advance if there is anything specific anyone would like to
see covered.
Ross Spencer (He/Him/They) (
