Wikidata:WikiProject PCC Wikidata Pilot/Northwestern University Libraries

Aim and Scope

Northwestern University Libraries is participating in the PCC Wikidata Pilot Project conducted by the Program for Cooperative Cataloging Task Group on Identity Management in NACO. It has the following aims and scope:

"Wikidata has become a high-demand identifier hub, with considerable community buy-in and recognition as an identity reconciliation service, which makes Wikidata ideal in the implementation of identity management principles. Wikidata facilitates a NACO-Lite approach that would lower the barrier to authority creation and maintenance by PCC members."

Learning objectives include:

comparison to other registries,
assessing productivity and QA tools,
advisable training resources, and
participating in the community.
