Hi everyone!

Just a quick reminder before the weekend: this consultation on Commons closes next Thursday, March 1, already.

Your feedback about GLAM metadata is vital here; we really want to make sure that GLAM-specific data is taken well into account in the big sweep of changes that will be implemented on Wikimedia Commons in the upcoming year :-)

So, if you have been involved in GLAM uploads to Commons in the past years, and/or if you edit or use GLAM files: please take a look and comment!

The discussion has now moved to the talk page, so this is the place to be: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons_talk:Structured_data/Get_involved...

Thank you :-) Sandra

Hi everyone,

There is a new feedback request up on Wikimedia Commons, regarding Structured Data on Commons. The topic is a very important discussion: between wikitext-in-Mediawiki, Wikibase on Commons, and Wikibase on Wikidata, what file metadata gets store where?

I would like to invite everyone involved in GLAM projects on Commons to help us think about file metadata that is especially important for, and sometimes unique to, media files that have been provided/uploaded by GLAM institutions.

Feedback on GLAM metadata is collected here on the page: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Structured_data/Get_involved/Feed...

This consultation will formally run for two weeks, closing on 1 March. There will not be decisions made at that time; this is a part of the information-gathering process in order to make the informed decisions.

Thank you for your time, see you on the wiki!

Sandra
