Hello everyone,
We have our next LD4 Wikidata Affinity Group Call on Tuesday, September 6, 2022 at 9am PT
/ 12pm ET / 16:00 UTC / 6pm CEST (Time zone
converter<https://zonestamp.toolforge.org/1662480050>)0>). Dominic Byrd-McDevitt will
talk about the Digital Public Library's Wikimedia program, an effort to provide
national leadership around access and discoverability of digital collections by leveraging
Wikipedia and its sister projects. 2 years ago, DPLA launched a digital asset pipeline to
enable participating institutions in the DPLA network to share their collections with
Wikimedia Commons. DPLA is continuing to innovate by taking advantage of Wikidata entities
and Structured Data on Commons to continually synchronize data and improve
discoverability. We'll discuss issues around large datasets, aggregation,
reconciliation, and other challenges DPLA has faced.
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
receive notifications about upcoming calls and meeting notes you can subscribe to the
ld4-wikidata Google

The LD4 Wikidata Affinity Group is associated with the 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.
