When you hear the word metadata, do you think of cell phone records, or of a whole world of knowledge waiting to be linked and discovered? Stanford University Libraries and the Linked Data for Production (LD4P) project<http://www.ld4p.org> are seeking someone who is passionate about libraries and about bringing library data to the world, to serve as our Wikimedian-in-Residence.
As a widely used source of structured data, Wikidata has the potential to be a platform for publishing, linking, and enriching library metadata. The Wikimedian-in-Residence will play a key role in enabling the Wikimedia community and the library community to enrich each other’s pool of knowledge.
Alex Stinson, GLAM-Wiki Strategist at the Wikimedia Foundation, explains the importance of this role: "We are seeing a growing body of interest among different library communities, both in North America, Europe, and other parts of the world in figuring out how libraries should be involved in using Wikidata. The LD4P project and this role provide a well-supported environment for creating experiments within the actual central work of research libraries, to figure out what works and doesn't and how technology can be improved to support such collaboration."

Subject: [Wikidata] Wikimedia Sverige receives $65k+ in funding for our
Library Data project
To: <wikidata(a)lists.wikimedia.org>
Wikimedia Sverige is proud to be
the recipient of $65,500 in support from the Swedish National Library for
our project Library Data.
We will work in collaboration with the Swedish
National Library to include a number of datasets onto Wikidata, such as
data about authors, libraries and different special databases of
bibliographies[1]. This is a pilot project where we aim to discuss with the
community what to include and what to exclude. Based on the discussions and
the requests from the community we will design a continuation of this
project (if this first part is deemed successful continuous funding is
possible for 3-4 more years).
We started investigating a possible long term
partnership with the National Library in 2017 when Wikimedia Sverige
delivered inputs to the new National Strategy for the Library Sector on how
Sweden's libraries can work with Wikimedia for mutual benefits.[2] The
National Library has just made history as the world's first national
library to fully transition to Linked Open Data (BIBFRAME 2.0),[3] so the
timing could not have been better; we are now in position to examine how
this move can benefit Wikidata and other Wikimedia projects.
Please contact
the project manager André Costa (andre.costa(a)wikimedia.se) or the developer
Alicia Fagerving
(alicia.fagerving(a)wikimedia.se) if you have
any questions.
As always, you can find the full application on our wiki (in

Kia ora,[1]
I work at Auckland Museum, and am keen on continuing the work that Fae started[2] on uploading images and data from our collections to Commons.
I'd like to request to join the GWToolset usergroup. My colleague Adam Moriarty has already had our domain whitelisted.[3]
I have an account at beta,[4] and have successfully uploaded a few files to Commons using PattyPan.[5] I would like to be able to use the GWToolset, and would also like to try uploading using file URLs through Pattypan, or perhaps (also) through the GWToolset.
Please let me know if there is any more information you need in order for this right to be granted.
Kind regards,
Hugh Lilly
