Goals include: raising awareness of Semantic Web technologies, such as the Resource Description Framework (RDF) and the use of URIs as identifiers within bibliographic descriptions; promoting research on linked data challenges, such as domain modeling and vocabulary selection and design; and informing the ongoing development of existing metadata standards for Libraries, Archives and Cultural Heritage Institutions.

Wikidata Edit-a-thon: Indiana and Michigan Book Awards

  • 1.  Wikidata Edit-a-thon: Indiana and Michigan Book Awards

    Hello, all,

    Editing Wikidata--or, as I like to think of it, the authority file for Wikipedia--is a great way to jump into linked data. This free event is designed for first timers and experienced Wikimedians alike. All are welcome. See the link below for more information or reach out to me if you have questions!
