Hi folks, This past Sunday WikimediaNYC had the opportunity of training on Wikidata, courtesy of user emw. His slide presentation is here:
http://www.slideshare.net/_emw/up-and-running-with-wikidata His nutshell summary: Wikidata is a way to bring structured data to Wikimedia projects. Although I knew a little about Wikidata already, his presentation and personal revelation ("I almost never edit Wikipedia now; all my editing is on Wikidata") convinced me that I have to be more active on Wikidata (at least now I know how to begin being more active). So I'm wondering whether there are any GLAM projects that regularly undertake Wikidata editing/integration as part of their activities. Other suggested activities from WM/NYC meeting are listed here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Meetup/NYC#Activities_for_the_Wikidata-thon If you've never done any Wikidata, I highly recommend the Wikidata Game: https://tools.wmflabs.org/wikidata-game/ -- Bob Kosovsky, Ph.D. -- Curator, Rare Books and Manuscripts, Music Division, The New York Public Library for the Performing Arts blog: http://www.nypl.org/blog/author/44 Twitter: @kos2 Listowner: OPERA-L ; SMT-TALK ; SMT-ANNOUNCE ; SoundForge-users - My opinions do not necessarily represent those of my institutions -
