Learning Together: Linked Data Experimentation at an Academic Library

Wikidata is a global, collaboratively edited, multilingual knowledge base that any project, organization or person can freely use. Wikidata expands access and connections for archival materials while also raising questions for archivists. This session will offer a brief introduction to the Wikidata model of "linked open data", followed by archivists describing their organizations' Wikidata project goals and processes, with time for Q&A and open discussion of the platform's promise and pitfalls.
