Demo of template spreadsheets (available online? add link here?) Hilary developed for V.1 and CSV syntax for QuickStatements
Good-to-know tips
How to go to QuickStatements tool, log in, create new batch, (TIP: test with small number first before going en masse), copy/paste data from spreadsheets, preview, and run.
Review of how to convert V1 to CSV syntax
Discussion
No one here has used QuickStatements before, even though some have heard of it
Looks really useful, plan to look at it more closely in future
Links and notes here to refer back to later are helpful
Stephanie shares use case in mind: updating source URLs as they change over time (e.g. TARO finding aid URLs changing with updates in progress)
Did this video inspire new ideas for anyone?
hands-on experimenting seems very doable, appealing
What more about batch updates/processing do we want to know/discuss? Are we ready to move our focus to the next topic?
Members report back on experimentation with QuickStatements?
Bring questions/challenges to next conversation
Post this question to list-serv for more input.
Assessing Wikidata projects
Melanie
Impact of adding faculty entries vs. finding aids is different, hard to measure
Can we define goals/outcomes we are aiming for, in measurable terms?
Increasing access to collections (web page visits?)
Creating authority records for common use (number of records created/efficiency in context of PCC authority work/incoming links (Mandy suggests Lighthouse browser plugin)
Local use/integrations in our discovery environments
General assessment overview would be helpful, some members don't have that support at their orgs
Survey of US institutions using "Archives At" - visual result
aim for inviting UTL assessment expert/s as guest speakers for June or July
Looking ahead
Paloma/Melanie
Next meeting topics/plan?
Come prepared to discuss measurable outcomes members are aiming for/want to assess
Find examples of LD assessment done by others - e.g. PCC wikidata pilot assessment?
Action items
Melanie Cofield will ask Assessment experts at UTL to join us in June or July for general overview
Melanie Cofieldand Paloma Graciani Picardo will post follow-up questions and prompts to the group list (ongoing batch update topics, assessment topic homework)
