The OCLC Project Passage report is out -- it provides an overview of the context in which the prototype was developed, how the Wikibase platform was adapted for use by librarians, and eight use cases where pilot participants describe their experience of creating metadata for resources in various formats and languages using the Wikibase editing interface.

 

During the ten months of the pilot, the participants gained insight in both the potential of linked data in library cataloging workflows and the gaps that must be addressed before machine-readable semantic data can be fully adopted. The report is dense, informative and hopefully worth waiting for!
