Hi Quim, Sylvia, Lydia and Wikidatans,
In terms of strategic partnerships with CC Wikidata, and this Wikidata Engineering Community project looking for -
"* people that have been in touch with organizations willing to contribute their open data" -
in what ways could CC World University and School contribute our early CC Nation State Universities, e.g. Mexico World University and School - http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/Mexico - (with only the CC MIT OCW in Spanish so far, and not yet in Spanish otherwise)? See also, for example, the Nation States' wiki subject page at WUaS - http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/Nation_States. Each wiki Nation-State University at CC WUaS, seeks to accredit in each country in their main languags to offer online CC baccalaureate, Ph.D., Law and M.D. degrees, and also I.B. high school degrees, if possible, based on CC MIT OCW in 7 languages and CC Yale OYC, to begin.
In addition, CC World University would like to facilitate wiki / Wikidata schools for open teaching and learning in each of all 7,929+ languages. As planned interlingual wiki schools for highest quality universal education, CC World University and School would like to explore developing in Wikidata, and become a growth story also for Wikidata. World University would thus like to explore contributing our open data in these regards.
In what ways might WUaS best contribute in terms of a strategic partnerships re this Wikidata Engineering Community project ? Perhaps World University could become a part of the"community framework allowing Wikidata content and tech contributors, data engineers, and open data organizations to collaborate effectively." Thank you.
Best, Info (Scott)

Quim,
I'm not familiar with GLAM or what you are really asking for here. Could you elaborate a little? Our group is actively engaged in writing bots for populating wikidata with trusted biomedical information and for using that information to drive applications such as Wikipedia. Processes for making this easier would be most welcome. A lot of what we are doing and hoping to do is described on this bot page: https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/User:ProteinBoxBot

Hello Quim,
There was always the issue of where to publish datasets from partner organisations like a http://datahub.io/
Is that being considered in this new iteration?
Cheers, Micru

Hello Quim,
We have in Belgium (as Wikimedia Belgium) a partner organisation who is together with us working with cultural institutions to get open datasets to be used in Wikidata.
So yes, we are interested.
Greetings, Romaine

Hi, it's first of July and I would like to introduce you a quarterly goal that the Engineering Community team has committed to:
Establish a framework to engage with data engineers and open data organizations https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T101950
We are missing a community framework allowing Wikidata content and tech contributors, data engineers, and open data organizations to collaborate effectively. Imagine GLAM applied to data.
If all goes well, by the end of September we would like to have basic documentation and community processes for open data engineers and organizations willing to contribute to Wikidata, and ongoing projects with one open data org.
If you are interested, get involved! We are looking for
- Wikidata contributors with good institutional memory
- people that has been in touch with organizations willing to
contribute their open data
- developers willing to help improving our software and programming
missing pieces
- also contributors familiar with the GLAM model(s), what works and
what didn't work
This goal has been created after some conversations with Lydia Pintscher (Wikidata team) and Sylvia Ventura (Strategic Partnerships). Both are on board, Lydia assuring that this work fits into what is technically effective, and Sylvia checking our work against real open data organizations willing to get involved.
This email effectively starts the bootstrapping of this project. I will start creating subtasks under that goal based on your feedback and common sense.
