Upcoming LD4 Wikidata Affinity Group Project Series session on September 2nd!

[Hilary K Thorsen]

Hi, everyone -–

Please join us on September 2nd for the fourth session of our Introduction to Wikidata/EMCO series, which is meant to introduce EMCO participants and anyone interested to Wikidata and to develop frameworks and skills for entity management in the Wikidata environment. Previous sessions’ slides and recordings can be found on the project page. This fourth session will focus on creating items for corporate bodies and adding statements to those items. 

We will review searching in Wikidata and have a practical, hands-on exercise where everyone can create a new corporate body item and add some statements.

Call Details:

• Date and Time: Tuesday, September 2nd at 9am PT/ 12pm ET/ 16:00 UTC / 6pm CEST (Time zone converter).

The LD4 Wikidata Affinity Group is associated with the LD4 Community and investigates how libraries can contribute to and better integrate library metadata with Wikidata to improve access to library resources on the web. The Affinity Group calls provide an informal space to share information and learn more about Wikidata.
