Hello, everyone --



We have our next LD4 Wikidata Affinity Group Call on Tuesday, January 12th at 9am PT / 12pm ET / 17:00 UTC / 6pm CET. We’ll talk about using QuickStatements for bulk uploading archived website data to Wikidata. Peter Chan, Web Archivist at Stanford Libraries, will first talk about his work modeling data for archived websites in Wikidata and then we’ll look at and demo uploading data with QuickStatements.



The call details are below. Everyone is welcome to attend the call. To receive notifications about upcoming calls and meeting notes you can subscribe to the ld4-wikidata Google Group<https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/ld4-wikidata>. If you aren't able to attend, the meetings are recorded and meeting notes available on Google Drive<https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1JwTulCABs0TkGQDVSnYbIYEb7bC-j4-n>.



The LD4 Wikidata Affinity Group is associated with the Linked Data for Libraries LD4 Community and investigates how libraries can contribute to and better integrate library metadata with Wikidata to improve access to library resources on the web. The Affinity Group calls provide an informal space to share information and learn more about Wikidata.
