• What’s the purpose & scope? Discussed last meeting:
  • What people in this group are currently working on
  • Additional tab for compiling resources/projects we’re finding useful
  • Could share with TDL community (Some tempered enthusiasm about using the spreadsheet to share and invite others to share projects, id other Wikidata initiatives in TDL community)
• What else should be added to this sheet before sharing?
  • We should complete as many columns as possible with links available to anyone, if we’re planning to share outside this group
  • Do we need to create a Wikidata Project page for each project?
• How much more time do we want to spend on this sheet?
  • What value do folks actually working on Wikidata projects see in taking next steps?
  • HRC Wikidata project is in holding pattern at this time.
  • Value is more as tracking the Wikidata work to date, and using as a reference (to consult or share in future contexts)
  • Architecture folks action item - flesh out sheet more
• Wrapping up Wikidata work and pivoting to think about how that work/approach fits into other work and systems: Alma/DAMS/general best practices for campus collaborations & MD efforts

How to make Wikidata projects more visible, showcase work?

• Getting admin buy-in to approve showcase page on institutional website?
• Connecting with DS/DH community as means to build buy-in, raise awareness of our work
  • Connect with Allyssa Guzman & Albert Palacios to brainstorm ways to leverage wikidata work, network, find connections/applications of wikidata, make project work more broadly visible.
• Explore LibGuides as a publication channel

• Exploring Alma Linked Data capabilities
• Sinopia Linked Data Editor - developed for LD4P, Alma integrations pending, Stacy Ogilvie attended a linked data and Sinopia conference last week
• Bringing PCC catalogers into this group
