Subject: [GLAM] Next LD4 Wikidata Affinity Group Meeting on Tuesday, October 8th
Greetings everyone,
Our next biweekly LD4 Wikidata Affinity Group call is Tuesday, October 8th at 9am PDT / 12pm EDT / 16:00 UTC / 6pm CEST.
Esther Jackson, Public Services Librarian at New York Botanical Garden's LuEsther T. Mertz Library and I will
be talking about the Finding GLAMs campaign, which aims to add and improve Wikidata items for GLAM institutions between October 8 and October 29th. We’ll go
over how to add items for libraries and museums and look at the
Monumental tool, which displays information about cultural heritage monuments. If you haven’t had a chance to add items to Wikidata yet, this could be a great opportunity to get some hands-on experience. I’ll be holding working hours on Zoom and Slack for
anyone who wants to work on adding items together and has questions. These will be on
Friday, October 11th at 9am PDT / 12pm EDT / 16:00 UTC / 6pm CEST,
Tuesday, October 15th at 8am PDT/ 11 am EDT/ 15:00 UTC / 5pm CEST, and
Thursday, October 17th at 9am PDT / 12pm EDT / 16:00 UTC / 6pm CEST.
The call details are below. To receive notifications about upcoming calls and meeting notes you can subscribe to the
ld4-wikidata Google Group, and if you aren't able to attend, the meetings
are recorded and meeting notes available on Google Drive.
If you haven't joined one of our calls before, the LD4-Wikidata Affinity Group is associated with the
Linked Data for Production project.
One of the goals of the project is understanding how libraries can contribute to and better integrate library metadata with Wikidata to improve access to library resources on the web. Wikidata offers exciting possibilities for
libraries to become a part of the linked data landscape, share and reuse data, and discover new relationships and connections. The Affinity Group calls provide an informal space to share information and learn more about Wikidata.
