Hi Bob, in Germany we have only started to invite GLAM institutions to join the Wikidata community. Yet as far as I know, no institution has committed themselves to collaborate on a regular scale. But the interest is high as we can see when offering information on Wikidata on conferences. See this enthusiastic tweet <https://twitter.com/hashtag/fwk14> a week ago.
