Hey, hey, everyone!
Back in July, my colleague @Giovanna Fontenelle gfontenelle@wikimedia.org and I held a *Future of Wikidata + Libraries Workshop* at the LD4 Conference and had a great time learning with the amazing pool of ~200 participants. To honor the lessons we learned from them in our workshop, we have prepared a six-blog post series with *librarians' **favorite **Wikidata **projects and tools, *but also the *challenges *they face and the *future *they envision. Here's the first https://diff.wikimedia.org/2023/12/13/ld42023-part-i-the-future-of-wikidata-libraries-a-workshop/of six posts, and we're happy to hear your feedback [image: :heart:]
Dear Silvia This is a great post and good learning platform. I love the display of the Jamb board with different opinions of the participants. It is a good reading and lesson on librarians and the use of Wikidata. Thank you for sharing. Warm regards, Ngozi Perpetua Osuchukwu Sent from Yahoo Mail on Android

Silvia and Giovanna,
Great post on the challenges still facing librarians with Wikidata!
But it looks like data models (community/wiki created) still have alignment issues with the library world and one of the Jamboards reflected that concern here: "Trying to standardize a data model in a domain when other editors have followed inconsistent practices. I don't want to just edit their items to fit my model, but I don't know a better solution"
Did the LD4 workshop or WikiProject Libraries have a review of some of the existing EntitySchema's that are now pretty solid from the community's point of view?
For example, reviewing the following for gaps or holes or data model misalignment with the library world: https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/EntitySchema:E36 https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/EntitySchema:E42
I would have thought that the WikiProject Libraries project page would actually begin to have a listing of some of the EntitySchema's being solidified. And any discussions on each EntitySchema to happen on their individual Discussion page.
My expectation was that Libraries were going to jump for joy once we released EntitySchema's, but I don't see them being referenced, used, or discussed much at all on the various WikiProject pages that concern libraries?
