Hello everyone,
We have our next LD4 Wikidata Affinity Group Call on Tuesday, February 21, 2023 at 9am PT
/ 12pm ET / 17:00 UTC / 6pm CET (Time zone
converter<https://zonestamp.toolforge.org/1676998823>)3>). Jim Hahn and John Mark
Ockerbloom for Penn Libraries Linked Data Vision:
This presentation will introduce the University of Pennsylvania Libraries Linked Data
Vision (
https://guides.library.upenn.edu/linked-data), and describe our experiences
developing and implementing it. Our vision document defines a framework for activities and
goals around linked data, involving both existing standards and systems as well as new
desired functionality that linked data may help us address. We will share successes in
carrying out the linked data vision, and also discuss areas where we have not yet made
progress. We will also discuss some of our projects with Wikidata tie-ins, including our
Digital Scriptorium Wikibase project, our Deep Backfile copyright information project, and
other Wikidata enhancement projects. We hope to have ample time for conversation with
those interested in or working on bringing new functionality to their libraries with
linked data.
The call details are below. 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.
