Hello, everyone --



We have our next LD4 Wikidata Affinity Group Call on Tuesday, May 4, 2021 at 9am PT / 12pm ET / 16:00 UTC / 6pm CEST (Time zone converter<https://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/converter.html?iso=20210504T160000&p1=tz_pt&p2=tz_et&p3=1440&p4=tz_cest>). John Cummings, Wikimedian in Residence at UNESCO, and Alicia Fagerving, Developer at Wikimedia Sverige, will give an introduction and how-to on Structured Data on Commons<https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Structured_data>, which makes media files machine readable and multilingual using Wikibase the same software used by Wikidata.



The call details are below. Everyone is welcome to attend. If you aren't able to attend, the meetings are recorded and meeting notes are 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.
