- Abstract
- Wikidata can transform existing metadata for a cultural heritage collection into a linked open data resource which can be visualised and manipulated to enhance the browsing and retrieval of material. This workshop will provide a step-by-step guide to the process of adding material to Wikidata, linking to other items, such as creators and locations, and producing data visualisations. The session will cover the use of editing tools, including QuickStatements and Mix’n’Match, and basic SPARQL queries.
