[Metadatalibrarians] Next LD4 Wikidata Affinity Group Call on Tuesday, January 11th

[Hilary K Thorsen]

Greetings,



We have our next LD4 Wikidata Affinity Group Call on Tuesday, January 11, 2022 at 9am PT / 12pm ET / 17:00 UTC / 6pm CET (Time zone converter<https://zonestamp.toolforge.org/1641920457>). We’ll review the Wikimedia Foundation’s recent Linked Open Data Strategy 2021<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/LinkedOpenData/Strategy2021>, and then breakout into guided group discussions to share plans, needs, and ideas for our own work in Wikidata.  You can preview the discussion questions in the agenda<https://docs.google.com/document/d/1AlxXVpr5OlRChdKnxyoPCIzqwiiIBoEEuClsE8Mbdok/edit?usp=sharing>.   Please note this change to our usual format -- we hope you will be able to join the meeting with access to audio and (optional) video -- or are willing to add your thoughts to the Zoom chat -- in order to participate.





The call details are below. Everyone is welcome to attend. If you aren't able to attend, the meetings are recorded and meeting notes are available on Google Drive<https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1JwTulCABs0TkGQDVSnYbIYEb7bC-j4-n>.

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.
