Hi,
@Alex: Thanks for pointing out the FindingGLAMS initiative, I'll check it out.
@ Merrilee : yes, indeed, that's also my experience, there are quite a few cases where library organisations (systems) and library branches are not well separated, not to mention (data about) library buildings, which is sometimes also mixed into the same WD-item. In my library modeling efforts I'm very strict about maintaining the proper parent/child relations (via Part of/HasPart pair, although Operator/Operated by is also commonly used)
@ Stacy: thanks for the coffeecode.net article, a very interesting read, and useful for further work!
Best,
Olaf

Thanks Olaf!
This kind of Wikidata data collection is actually a huge part of the
conversation behind The Finding GLAMs initiative led by Wikimedia Sweden.
If you want to contribute, learn more on Meta:

Cheers,
Alex

I think this is a better approach - doing the work in Wikidata.
In Wikidata I don't think we've done a great (or consistent) job of
modeling organizational data well for things like libraries. For example
many public libraries are branches that are part of a system. Both should
be represented as parent / child.
Fwiw there are over 16,000 public libraries in the United States.

Hi, all.
As a point of potential interest on this topic. Dan Scott, Monica Fazekas, and I gave a session at the Ontario Library Association conference last year about getting library organization data into the Wikimedia projects.
Read Dan Scott's write up on adding library organizational info to Wikidata here:
https://coffeecode.net/creating-and-editing-libraries-in-wikidata.html
and you can see our meet-up page here:

As trusted knowledge mediators, libraries have a responsibility to help improve the presence of Canadian culture on Wikimedia platforms. In this edit-a-thon, participants will ensure their own libraries are represented on Wikidata, Wikimedia Commons, and Wikipedia, and be better prepared to lead edit-a-thons in their own communities.

Dear all,
I thank you for your efforts. I share with you the library outreach method for user groups. I invite you to see it in https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Wikimedia_TN_-_Library_Outreach.pdf. This method is simple and can be used to let libraries support the projects of user groups such as MedinaPedia Sfax and TunSci.
Yours Sincerely,

York University acknowledges its presence on the traditional territory of many Indigenous Nations. The area known as Tkaronto has been care taken by the Anishinabek Nation, the Haudenosaunee Confederacy, the Huron-Wendat, and the Métis. It is now home to many Indigenous peoples. We acknowledge the current treaty holders, the Mississaugas of the Credit First Nation. This territory is subject of the Dish With One Spoon Wampum Belt Covenant, an agreement to peaceably share and care for the Great Lakes region.

I'm currently doing a project to register all public library organisations (pm 150 in numbers) and their branches (pm 1450) in The Netherlands in Wikidata: https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:WikiProject_Netherlands_Public_Libra…
Currently still very much work in progress (hence the messy page), I've done approx. 550 out of 1600 libraries: https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:WikiProject_Netherlands_Public_Libra…
The plan is to also include all the tables in Dutch & English Wikipedia, so to significantly expand https://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lijst_van_bibliotheken#Nederland with Dutch public libraries
I know that User:Sic19 has done similar work for the public libraries in Wales: https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/User:Sic19#SPARQL_queries
