[Metadatalibrarians] Volunteer Opportunity: 2023 LD4 Wikidata Working Hour Summer/Fall Series

[Hilary K Thorsen]

Hi everyone,


We have been talking about planning a second summer-early fall project for our Wikidata Working Hours starting in August 2023. It would provide an opportunity for folks to try out various Wikidata-related skills and tools while working with a finite data set. This year we will be gathering data and building a dataset together of library science articles/books to add to Wikidata.


Some of the topics we are considering for the Working Hours include building a dataset, reconciliation of the data, adding items involving corporate entities (publishers) and authors, creating items in batch, and data visualization.


If you are interested in volunteering to help plan the project with us, please let us know by emailing ld4-wikidata-coord at googlegroups.com Time commitments are flexible and all Wikidata skill levels are welcome.


Thank you!
