| Presentation: PCC Wikidata pilot project at TAMU | Jeannette | Goals for getting involved:
Project description - focus on authors and faculty advisors for dissertations from Mechanical Engineering What they have done so far Consideration when drafting application profiles - what entities to create entries for? 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 |
