This is a pilot project where we aim to discuss with thecommunity what to include and what to exclude. Based on the discussions andthe requests from the community we will design a continuation of thisproject (if this first part is deemed successful continuous funding ispossible for 3-4 more years).We started investigating a possible long termpartnership with the National Library in 2017 when Wikimedia Sverigedelivered inputs to the new National Strategy for the Library Sector on howSweden's libraries can work with Wikimedia for mutual benefits.[2] TheNational Library has just made history as the world's first nationallibrary to fully transition to Linked Open Data (BIBFRAME 2.0),[3] so thetiming could not have been better; we are now in position to examine howthis move can benefit Wikidata and other Wikimedia projects.Please contactthe project manager André Costa (andre.costa@wikimedia.se) or the developer Alicia Fagerving(alicia.fagerving@wikimedia.se) if you have any questions.As always, you can find the full application on our wiki (inSwedish):[2] <https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Wikimedia_ >Sverige_-_Wikipedia_och_ biblioteken_i_Sverige.pdf (in Swedish)Kind regards,~*~Alicia FagervingDeveloperWikimedia Sverige (WMSE)e-mail: alicia.fagerving@wikimedia.sephone: +46 73 950 09 56_________________
