Hello everyone,
We have our next LD4 Wikidata Affinity Group Call on Tuesday, May 4, 2021 at 9am PT / 12pm
ET / 16:00 UTC / 6pm CEST (Time zone
converter<https://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/converter.html?iso=2021…)40&p4=tz_cest>).
John Cummings, Wikimedian in Residence at UNESCO, and Alicia Fagerving, Developer at
Wikimedia Sverige, will give an introduction and how-to on Structured Data on
Commons<https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Structured_data>ta>, which makes
Commons media files machine readable and multilingual using Wikibase, the same software
used by Wikidata.
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 Linked Data for Libraries 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.
