[Wikidata-bugs] [Maniphest] [Created] T165653: Group discussion: what do GLAMs want from Wikidata and structured data on Commons, and how to act upon that?

[Spinster]

Spinster created this task. Spinster added projects: Wikimedia-Hackathon-2017, GLAM-Tech, Wikidata, Structured-Multimedia-Data. Herald added a subscriber: Aklapper.

TASK DESCRIPTION

From her experience working with various GLAMs (cultural institutes) on Wikidata projects, User:Spinster outlines some requests and needs that these organizations have - and that might be different from our own community's needs.

Discussion to follow:

• What to do with these observations?
• What else do we need to know/ask from external contributors?
• Agenda-setting, prioritizing...

Typical requests from external data providers include:

• Keeping Wikidata and external data sources linked and in sync
• Ways, workflows, easy tools for external organizations to keep track of edits happening to 'their' data on Wikidata
• Integrity of data from external providers (e.g. how to make sure that correct statements, sourced to an external data provider, are not vandalized or changed in an incorrect manner)
• Statistics of use and re-use of specific sets of data, both on Wikimedia projects and externally
• And they would actually really love it if we'd embrace something like IIIF - so let them work from their own image repositories, with us embedding that.
