Hello everyone,
Our next LD4-Wikidata Affinity Group call is Tuesday, July 30th at 9am PDT / 12pm EDT /
16:00 UTC / 6pm CEST. We'll be discussing communication in the Wikidata and Wikimedia
communities. Esther Jackson, Public Services Librarian at New York Botanical Garden's
LuEsther T. Mertz Library, Martin Poulter, Wikimedian In Residence at the University of
Oxford based at the Bodleian Libraries and Merrilee Proffitt, Co-Chair of the Wikimedia
and Libraries User Group and Senior Manager of the OCLC Research Library Partnership at
OCLC will be joining us for the discussion. If you already have some questions in mind,
please add them to this
document<https://docs.google.com/document/d/1452248mFrFe6krzydGpe55L2LR6…ng>.
If you haven't joined one of our calls before, the LD4-Wikidata Affinity Group is
associated with the Linked Data for Production
project<https://wiki.duraspace.org/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=10456816…67>. 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 meetings provide an informal space to share information and learn more
about Wikidata.
The call details are below. To receive notification about upcoming meetings and meeting
notes you can subscribe to the ld4-wikidata Google

attend, the meetings are recorded and meeting notes available on

Please note, our following call in August will differ from our usual schedule and be held
on Monday, August 12 at 9am PDT / 12pm EDT / 16:00 UTC / 6pm CEST. We'll be discussing
Wikidata's notability policy on this call.
