Hi, I really like where this conversation is going!
This is very much duplicating the (good) GLAM model for other types of content.
Formalizing a Wikidata-Scientist/WIR status beyond GLAM gives us access to broader pool of organizations who generate/own good sources of content.
I see great value is having WS/WiRs working on various economic development areas while embedded with the World Bank, the OECD.
WS/WiRs enriching Health and disease related content while embedded with WHO, NIH, CDC... Same with policy with WiRs working with Brookings, CATO, Pew, CID...
The community can decide where we want to expand, but this would create an unprecedented reach of our projects and our mission.
Quim, I'll defer to you/Lydia for a decision as to what tools/mechanism is best to have these next discussions, but I dont see any reason not to start.
Daniel, I would love to learn more about your work with NIH and excited by your offer to help with a pilot!
