Thanks Fariz!
It will include a lot of data about heritage sites and the other UNESCO
inscription programmes (e.g. Memory of the World register). Quite a bit of
ground work has already be covered but there is still lots to do.
The other data of interest will come from the UNESCO institute of
statistics and other UN agencies, e.g. Global Education Monitoring Report,
World Water Development Report and World Science Report.
The actual form that the statistical data would take in Wikidata is very
much dependent on the feedback from the community and what can work within
the Wikidata model.
Cheers,
Nav

Hello Nav,
the project sounds interesting! What kind of UNESCO data will be imported
to Wikidata? Will it be something like UNESCO heritage sites or anything
else?
Regards,
Fariz

Hi all,
If you have a moment spare, please take a look at this WMF grant
application
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:Project/Wikimedian_in_Residence_at_UNESCO_2017-2018>.
Feedback and endorsements will be greatly appreciated!
The application is to extend John Cummings' brilliant work making UNESCO
content available on Wikimedia projects, and includes a portion allocated
to me to continue the work on importing data from UNESCO and partner
agencies into Wikidata. It also covers improvements to the workflow and
documentation for the data import process, building on our previous work
getting the following pages together:
Wikidata:Data Import Hub
<https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:Data_Import_Hub>
Wikidata:Data donation
<https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:Data_donation>4
Wikidata:Data Import Guide
<https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:Data_Import_Guide>
Wikidata:Partnerships and data imports
<https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:Partnerships_and_data_imports>
As well as the data import work described above, the main goals are:
1. UNESCO’s publication workflows incorporate sharing open license
content on Wikimedia projects.
2. Support other Intergovernmental Organisations and the wider public
to share content on Wikimedia projects.
3. Support Wikimedia contributors to easily discover and use UNESCO
content and the documentation produced.
Many thanks!
