The Wikimedia ecosystem gives us a number of tools that can be used for this, including * Wikisource, where works can be transcribed, and categorised * Wikidata where the metadata can be stored, checked and improved; and where we can document related identities such as publishers, and authors * Wikipedia, where we can write list articles, or have them populated by Wikidata queries; not to mention articles about authors Wikidata can also be used to populate external tools like Scholia. Then we have a number of tools on the toolserver, which allow us to crowdsource things like identifier matches, main sujects, and links to authors, and add them to Wikidata -- Andy Mabbett @pigsonthewing http://pigsonthewing.org.uk _______________________________________________ Libraries mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/libraries
