Wikimedia Sverige receives $65k+ in funding for our Library Data project

Wikimedia Sverige is proud to be the recipient of $65,500 in support from the Swedish National Library for our project Library Data. We will work in collaboration with the Swedish National Library to include a number of datasets onto Wikidata, such as data about authors, libraries and different special databases of bibliographies[1]. This is a pilot project where we aim to discuss with the community what to include and what to exclude. Based on the discussions and the requests from the community we will design a continuation of this project (if this first part is deemed successful continuous funding is possible for 3-4 more years). We started investigating a possible long term partnership with the National Library in 2017 when Wikimedia Sverige delivered inputs to the new National Strategy for the Library Sector on how Sweden's libraries can work with Wikimedia for mutual benefits.[2] The National Library has just made history as the world's first national library to fully transition to Linked Open Data (BIBFRAME 2.0),[3] so the timing could not have been better; we are now in position to examine how this move can benefit Wikidata and other Wikimedia projects. Please contact the project manager André Costa (andre.costa(a)wikimedia.se) or the developer Alicia Fagerving (alicia.fagerving(a)wikimedia.se) if you have any questions.

This is really awesome! I met some of the team working on their LOD software at an event at Stanford in the spring -- they seem to be doing really amazing and savvy work to make their library data fully compliant -- excited to see Wikidata become a data hub for them (they weren't really sure if they were going to do that when I talked to them then). Glad you have been able to make progress! Cheers, Alex On Mon, Aug 27, 2018 at 10:28 AM, Fariz Darari <fadirra(a)gmail.com> wrote:

This is excellent news! Congratulations, and best of luck to your project! I think this will really help establish the role of library data within Wikidata, already well grounded by the work of WikiCite, Inventaire.io, various vocabulary and authority file mappings on Mix'n'Match and many other projects. I look forward to following your progress and I would very much like to do something similar with Finnish bibliographic data :) -Osma Alicia Fagerving kirjoitti 27.08.2018 klo 17:17:
