Hi everyone,

We have published strategies for the Linked Open Data activities around Wikidata and the Wikibase Ecosystem, and would like to get your feedback on the proposals!

You can find them at https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/LinkedOpenData/Strategy2021 and we would love to hear your feedback and thoughts on the talk page at https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Talk:LinkedOpenData/Strategy2021.

These strategies are a thorough update of the 2019 strategy papers for Wikidata and the Wikibase Ecosystem (https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikidata/Strategy/2019). The strategy papers were very helpful for us to clarify where we see Wikidata and the Wikibase Ecosystem going and have conversations about it with editors, other chapters and user groups, outside organisations, and within our team.

Over the past months we have looked at everything we have learned from conversations within the communities, research we have done, and how we and the world have changed since the first strategy papers were published. During WikidataCon, we shared the strategy for feedback with the Wikidata and Wikibase communities, and would now like to open it up for the wider Movement. We are very much looking forward to your feedback!

Cheers

Lydia, Sam, Manuel and Lea for the development team at Wikimedia Deutschland
