Hi everyone,
Romaine just mentioned the project of Flemish museums donating metadata to Wikidata
<https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:Flemish_art_collections,_Wikidata_and_Linked_Open_Data>.
A first outcome of this project is a whitepaper
<https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:Flemish_art_collections,_Wikidata_and_Linked_Open_Data/Whitepaper>.
In the first place, it is intended for the project partners, to introduce Wikidata, to
explain what the project is about, what the costs and benefits are for them, and how the
upload will work (i.e. generally - later in the project we will also produce a more
detailed handbook).
However, we think the whitepaper might be interesting to a much broader audience as well -
especially other (cultural) organisations who also consider donating data to Wikidata.
I just finished translating it from Dutch to English and transferring it to Wikidata. If
anyone wants to read it, comment, add corrections… I’d be very grateful! All feedback is
welcome.
Also, feel free to share it if relevant.
