We'll be discussing communication in the Wikidata and Wikimedia communities. Esther Jackson, Public Services Librarian at New York Botanical Garden's LuEsther T. Mertz Library, Martin Poulter, Wikimedian In Residence at the University of Oxford based at the Bodleian Libraries and Merrilee Proffitt, Co-Chair of the Wikimedia and Libraries User Group and Senior Manager of the OCLC Research Library Partnership at OCLC will be joining us for the discussion. If you already have some questions in mind, please add them to this document<https://docs.google.com/document/d/1452248mFrFe6krzydGpe55L2LR6…ng>. If you haven't joined one of our calls before, the LD4-Wikidata Affinity Group is associated with the Linked Data for Production project<https://wiki.duraspace.org/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=10456816…67>. One of the goals of the project is understanding how libraries can contribute to and better integrate library metadata with Wikidata to improve access to library resources on the web. Wikidata offers exciting possibilities for libraries to become a part of the linked data landscape, share and reuse data, and discover new relationships and connections. The Affinity Group meetings provide an informal space to share information and learn more about Wikidata. The call details are below.
