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:
