• Questions
  • Albert - Is the group sharing workflows on how to create and contribute to wikidata? 
    
    • Katie – they have very robust documentation of the workflows that they are happy to share. There have also been many opportunities to share about these projects and workflows within this group. Need to move 
  • Allyssa – If interested in sharing documentation with faculty and students, then they can be added to the digital humanities libGuide (https://guides.lib.utexas.edu/sb.php?subject_id=115239)

Questions for Allyssa and Albert:

• Can you describe the landscape of the communities you are engaged with in your roles?
• Are you aware of other Wikidata or linked data-related projects around campus?
• We have some ideas about raising visibility for our Wikidata projects  - what do you think, and do you have other ideas/suggestions?
• Do you see potential in hosting Wikidata edit-a-thons?
• Open floor to other questions
