Questions/discussion topics sent to Anne in advance:
General comparison of Meridian to Wikidata (since we are a community of practice somewhat invested in Wikidata)
Reusability/interoperability - Ideas/use cases for how the data can be used outside the library system?
Who has access to contribute to it? What do access restrictions look like?
Governance/expectations of community contributions of Meridian entities
Similar/different from OCLC community cataloging protocols and practices?
More about the advisory group that helped with modeling WorldCat entities in an ethical way- is this group something that will continue, or was it a one-off during the design phase?
Who decides how this works now and going forward?
What does development (roadmap?) & support for Meridian look like?
How is Meridian integrated with other traditional OCLC services/products and customer workflows?
Time permitting, how Meridian compares to Share-VDE’s J Cricquet editor
