Hello all,
I'm a new Wikimedian in Residence as part of the Linked Data for Production
project<https://wiki.duraspace.org/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=10456816…67>. One of
the goals of the project is understanding how libraries can contribute to and leverage
Wikidata as a platform for publishing, linking, and enriching library linked data. A
number of institutions that are part of the grant are working on projects involving
Wikidata and we decided to start an interest group with biweekly meetings to discuss
various aspects of Wikidata in support of the projects. Possible topics include Wikidata
best practices, documentation, communication channels, policies, and tools.
At each meeting, myself or a guest will present some relevant material related to the
topic and we’ll discuss any issues members have encountered as well as helpful resources.
At the first meeting on April 23rd, we’ll talk about the purpose and goals of the group as
well as the Wikidata related projects that are part of the grant.
I'd like to invite any interested Wikidata community members to join us. The call
details and communication channels are below.
First call details:
April 23, 2019 9am PST / 12noon EST / 5pm GMT / 6pm CET
