Hello!

 

We have our next LD4 Wikidata Affinity Group Call on Tuesday, March 21, 2023 at 9am PT / 12pm ET / 16:00 UTC / 5pm CET (Time zone converter). In a crossover event with the LD4 Discovery Affinity Group, the LD4P3 (Linked data for production: closing the loop) team will present their integration of data around musical works from Wikidata into a Cornell library catalog prototype. The LD4P3 team would also like to acknowledge Kevin Kishimoto (Stanford), Tracey Snyder (Cornell), Beth Kelly (Cornell), Emma Clarkson (NYPL), and others from the MLA Linked Data Working Group for capturing, verifying, and creating/editing the Wikidata information for musical works used by the prototype. You can check out a demo of the work here:  https://youtu.be/ih2hH-x5hsQ 

 

The call details are below. If you aren't able to attend, the meetings are recorded and meeting notes are available on Google Drive. To receive notifications about upcoming calls and meeting notes you can subscribe to the ld4-wikidata Google Group.  

  

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.
