[Foundation-l] GLAM-WIKI report

[Gerard Meijssen]

Hoi,
Combine this with aggregated statistics for a particular GLAM and do this
for any GLAM we have material for. This is not to show the most important
GLAM but it is to  help them realise and recognise for themselves and for
their sponsors that we contribute to their social relevance. It helps us
argue why improved annotations will increase traffic to their website.

It is absolutely important not to make a competition out of these statistics
because GLAMS cannot be compared. What is important is that we contribute to
the visibility of a GLAM and its collection. It is obvious why these
statistics have to be double checked, because it will be a vital argument in
releasing material to us and in building a relationship.
Thanks,
      Gerard
