Test

LD4 ("Linked Data For [...]") is a group of related projects "for linked data practitioners to foster broad adoption and sustained support of linked data efforts in libraries".[1]

Rationale

Community discussion of Wikidata related topics with the goal of understanding how the library can contribute to and leverage Wikidata as a platform for publishing, linking, and enriching library linked data.

The group will meet biweekly to discuss various aspects of Wikidata. At each meeting, the co-facilitators or a guest will present some relevant material related to the topic and we’ll discuss any issues members have encountered as well as helpful resources.

Anyone is welcome to join the group!

Approach

Since 2019, the group hosts biweekly calls and working hours for Wikidata and monthly calls for Wikibase/WBStack. Calls are recorded.

You can find public agendas with recordings and notes in Google Drive.

Coordination

As of September 2021, all call/working hour participants are welcome to participate in group activity coordination.

Join us on #wikidata-coord on Slack to get involved! We volunteer for roles on a monthly basis. You do not need prior experience in a role to join in, and it is a very collaborative group.

Goals and Outcomes

Provide a welcoming, collaborative, and supportive space to discuss Wikidata related topics
Gain a basic understanding of Wikidata in the context of the Wiki community and its norms
Help other institutions begin to work in Wikidata by developing a Wiki* inventory of competencies and technologies necessary for those working with library and archival metadata to build a skill set that can be used in Wikidata and other linked data work
Discuss and document what types of communication channels are available and what community support and open source tools are needed to implement integration of library and archival metadata with Wikidata at scale across a broad spectrum of libraries and archives
Invite and encourage a variety of institutions and projects, including, public libraries, archives, and community projects, to participate in the group to ensure different perspectives are shared and needs identified
Document and share work with the Wikidata community where it will be open to reuse and feedback
