[Metadatalibrarians] Next LD4 Wikidata Affinity Group Call on Tuesday, September 24th

[Hilary K Thorsen]

Hello everyone,


Our next biweekly LD4 Wikidata Affinity Group call is Tuesday, September 24th at 9am PDT / 12pm EDT / 16:00 UTC / 6pm CEST. We'll be starting off with a couple follow-ups from our references call and a quick demo of merging items followed by going over and discussing the Wikidata and Wikibase vision and strategy papers that have been released: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikidata/Strategy/2019.



The call details are below. To receive notification about upcoming calls and meeting notes you can subscribe to the ld4-wikidata Google Group<https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/ld4-wikidata>, and if you aren't able to attend, the meetings are recorded and meeting notes available on Google Drive<https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1JwTulCABs0TkGQDVSnYbIYEb7bC-j4-n>.



If you haven't joined one of our calls before, the LD4-Wikidata Affinity Group is associated with the Linked Data for Production project<https://wiki.duraspace.org/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=104568167>. One of the goals of the project is understanding how libraries can contribute to and better integrate library metadata with Wikidata to improve access to library resources on the web. Wikidata offers exciting possibilities for libraries to become a part of the linked data landscape, share and reuse data, and discover new relationships and connections. The Affinity Group calls provide an informal space to share information and learn more about Wikidata.
