WMF GLAM report

Wikimania, Wikimedians in Residence, Structured Data on Commons, and upcoming conferences

Wikimania 2018

The Wikimedia Foundation's GLAM team attended Wikimania Cape Town. It was great to see many of you there! We held several sessions during Learning Days - both on GLAM projects and partnerships and on structured data partnerships workflows. The main conference also included several sessions about Structured Data on Commons, including a panel about how GLAM projects related to knowledge equity can benefit from it.

  • A scheme explaining the workflow for (GLAM) partnerships that involve structured data (Wikidata, and Wikimedia Commons in the future). See also a more detailed outline on outreach.wikimedia.org. Does this workflow make sense to you? Is something missing? Feedback is very welcome on the talk page.

Recommendation on creating Wikimedian in Residence positions

Alex has written a document that gathers recommendations on how to create Wikimedian in Residence positions. Please leave feedback on the talk page – or feel free to edit the document directly!

Structured Data on Commons

In the past months, the Wikimedia Commons community brainstormed about the Wikidata properties that will be needed to describe media files on Wikimedia Commons with structured data. The proposed properties have now been brought together and grouped in one page. Please take a close look and leave your feedback, as this first collection of properties will be used at the start when Structured Data on Commons is deployed!

Conferences

The GLAM team at the Wikimedia Foundation attends and presents at the following conferences in the upcoming months:

And of course GLAM-Wiki Tel Aviv, 3-5 November, where the entire team will also be present. Check the program!
