Re: [Wikidata] Joining May 29, National Plan Open Science meeting in Delft, The Netherlands
Hi Egon, Thank you for taking on the role of coordinator! I'm happy to present anything if necessary, but that depends on the format of the day, I guess. Keep us informed if you need any additional information, or once you have new information to share with us!

Hi Egon, Sounds good. How do we proceed from here? Are you going to propose a session for this day and invite attendees? Do we need to sign up anywhere?

Interesting opportunity! I would be interested in attending and/or helping out as WMNL representative, but I don't have a case study or anything else I could contribute.

[Wikidata] CC0 datasets from the Municipal Archive Rotterdam
Hi all, The municipal archive of Rotterdam (Stadsarchief Rotterdam) has recently made a number of databases available under CC0, which might be of interest to the Wikidata community. These include birth, death and marriage data for the period 1811-early to mid 20th century, as well as cadastral data for 1832 and a street name database. They can be accessed here http://www.stadsarchief.rotterdam.nl/vraagbaak/open-data (in Dutch only). If anyone decides to reuse these data, please share it here as well so that the archive can also be informed on any use.

Re: [Wikidata] Data from Netherlands Statistics / CBS on Wikidata?
Thanks all for the input! I would like to stress again that the first meeting with the CBS has yet to take place, but we will definitely take the views expressed here into account.

[Wikidata] Data from Netherlands Statistics / CBS on Wikidata?
Dear list members, Wikimedia Netherlands has been approached by the CBS / Statistics Netherlands (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Statistics_Netherlands), the governmental bureau for statistics, about a possible cooperation to make data available on a (yet to be determined) Wikimedia project. Since this is in a very preliminary stage, we don't have any further details at the moment, but I would be interested to hear if there could be any use of their data on Wikidata, or if similar data from similar institutions elsewhere have already been used.
