Hi, I really like where this conversation is going!
This is very much duplicating the (good) GLAM model for other types of
content.
Formalizing a Wikidata-Scientist/WIR status beyond GLAM gives us access to
broader pool of organizations who generate/own good sources of content.
I see great value is having WS/WiRs working on various economic development
areas while embedded with the World Bank, the OECD.
WS/WiRs enriching Health and disease related content while embedded with WHO,
NIH, CDC... Same with policy with WiRs working with Brookings, CATO, Pew,
CID...
The community can decide where we want to expand, but this would create an
unprecedented reach of our projects and our mission.
Quim, I'll defer to you/Lydia for a decision as to what tools/mechanism is
best to have these next discussions, but I dont see any reason not to
start.
Daniel, I would love to learn more about your work with NIH and excited by
your offer to help with a pilot!
Sylvia
