Aim and Scope edit

Gleeson Library (Q73495403) is participating in the PCC Wikidata Pilot Project with the following aims and scope:

  • Contribute to linked open data projects as a reflection of our values that open scholarship is a public good, in alignment with open access and open educational resource projects at University of San Francisco
  • Increase staff capacity and understanding of linked open data models and practices
  • Explore the opportunities that Wikidata offers for creating new and more flexible workflows for authority control
  • Increase the visibility of scholarship at the University of San Francisco (Q1887879) through Wikidata item creation for USF entities such as researchers and open access journals hosted by Gleeson Library
  • Extend the discoverability of unique or scarcely held University of San Francisco library resources, such as entities related to special, archival, and digital collections
  • Create and enhance Wikidata items and related entries in authority repositories representing local people, places, and events of significance to USF, with an emphasis on underrepresented communities

The administrators of this project have consciously decided not to use the sex or gender property (P21) for the entities we create. The property does not capture the complexity of the human experience and is not germane to our project. We are not comfortable assigning a sex or gender value, nor do we feel obliged to populate a property simply because it exists. We acknowledge that other Wikidata and Wikipedia projects use sex and gender as a crucial data point and that property (P21) might be added to Changemaker entities by other agents. We reached consensus after much discussion, although some of us hold ambivalent opinions about its implementation.
