*Hi everybody and sorry for crossposting,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@wikimedia.se andre.costa@wikimedia.se) or the developer Alicia Fagerving (alicia.fagerving@wikimedia.se alicia.fagerving@wikimedia.se) if you have any questions. As always, you can find the full application on our wiki (in Swedish): https://se.wikimedia.org/wiki/Projekt:Strategisk_inkludering _av_biblioteksdata_på_Wikidata_2018/Ansökan https://se.wikimedia.org/wiki/Projekt:Strategisk_inkluderin g_av_biblioteksdata_p%C3%A5_Wikidata_2018/Ans%C3%B6kan[1] https://libris.kb.se/deldatabas.jsp <https://libris.kb.se/deldatabas.jsp
