Wikidata Resources[edit]
Practical Wikidata for Librarians[edit]
The goal of the project is to gather together, organize, and expand resources for librarians interested in editing Wikidata, and to provide a space to develop shared data models and best practices. The hope is that sharing these resources will prevent duplicative work at different institutions, and provide stepping stones for librarians interested in working with Wikidata but seeking some direction on where to get started

LD4-Wikidata Affinity Group[edit]
Rationale[edit]
Community discussion forum for 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 in support of the partner and cohort institution projects involving Wikidata. At each meeting, the co-facilitators, Alex Jung, Sarah Kasten, Susan Radovsky, Hilary Thorsen and Eric Willey, 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.
