Wikibase wil be used as an enhanced database for managing and storing bibiographical data.  The presentation describes how Wikibase is used by Noemi and points out issues the BnF will deal with in 2021.
    Stacy Allison-Cassin: will talk about her use of Wikibase for describing collections relating to Indigenous (First Nations, Métis, and Inuit) collections and recent work with IFLA.

    Speaker bios:

    Pascal Lefeuvre has been working for the IT department of the BnF as a business analyst since 2012 mainly on digitization issues. Since 2017 has also served as the Scrum master of the IT team on Noemi's Project.  Anila Angjeli and Benjamin Bober are Co-Project Manager for the national project "Fichier national d'entités", aiming at buiding a platform to jointly create and manage entities' metadata across libraries and other cultural and research partners.
