What properties to include? What properties should be core? Reviewed existing application profiles from Stanford and Guidelines for WIkiProject Books on recommended properties. Properties of interest to Scholarly Communications: Year, Gender, Academic subject/disc, etc. Uploading metadata from their repository OakTrust to Wikidata Screenshots of Wikidata schema in OpenRefine, Schema tab Example of Wikidata items batch created or enhanced via OpenRefine Lessons Learned: plenty of existing metadata for use in automation; think it is ok to put embargoed titles on Wikidata; batch create items first before adding statements to link them Next steps: test how this can work in practice; explore other tools provided by Wikidata Institute; design and carry our queries Q/A - jaho@library.tamu.edu
