Hi everyone! For those interested in (the admittedly a bit nerdy, but important issue of) ontologies and metadata schemes around GLAM, media files and the upcomingstructured data on Commons <https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Structured_data>: there is currently afirst feedback round <https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Structured_data/Get_involved/Fee…>(and probe of interest) to start working on metadata and ontology mapping on this topic for Wikimedia Commons. Why? When we are better able to 'map' the metadata schemes used by GLAMs to the (newly) structured data on Wikimedia Commons, we hope the upload and synchronization of files will become a lot smoother. Pleasecheck the request for feedback page on Commons <https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Structured_data/Get_involved/Fee…>, andleave your comments on the talk page there <https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons_talk:Structured_data/Get_involve…>! This first feedback round runs until 4 May. All the best! Sandra
