Wrapping up the Wikidata tracking sheet
Architecture has already added all their information to the spreadsheet. There are a few other scripts that they have not added because they are only relevant on their GIS project, but not in the wikidata context. They have created a wikidata project page: https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q109614790
Is there a criteria for creating a wikidata item for the page? Not that we are aware of. There are all sorts of wikiproject pages, from very large multi institutional projects, to specific topic projects, to institutional projects.
Katie - might be useful to link all different wikidata projects happening at UT campus
Why creating a wikidata item for the project and also a wikiproject page? They have different purposes (add more)
Connecting with DS and DH in campus
Connecting with local DS and DH communities to discuss how to identify potential collaboration opportunities
Melanie has not had the chance to reach out to Alyssa, Albert or Adriana. She plans to do early on the new year
Would be good to spend some time in January to brainstorm talking points that we would like to engage them in, and then maybe invite them to join the meeting on February?
Ideas for questions that we might want to bring to them?
Katie - we have discussed to have our wikidata projects more visible so maybe that can be something to ask. Also how do we want to present the work we are doing to them? There are also many Wikipedia editathons, and maybe that is a way to connect with those communities by bringing up wikidata editathons
Paloma - Could they talk a little bit of the landscape of the communities they are engage with and whether they are aware of other wikidata or linked data related projects around campus?
Planning Spring 2022
Pivoting towards how these projects fit on our daily work
Interest in exploring Alma linked data capabilities
Stephanie – potential to project to create wikidata items for local authorities (+1s Katie and Beth). There is a lot of interest in Architecture to dedicate more resources to the local authorities
Melanie - With the DAMS migration kicking off and the engagement with libraries IT starting in January, and discussions around data modeling, they have been talking a lot about using the taxonomies module to manage authorities and controlled vocabularies in Islandora 8, and did not really discussed about wikidata as a potential tool,
Using wikidata and or wikibase for local authorities
Reached out to Stacy to ask if she wants to debrief and share take away, but have not heard back.
Paloma to extend calendar invite until May. Date/time works for everybody
Michael volunteers as note taker on the Spring
Paloma + Melanie to facilitate/notetaking on January
