The German National Library has used Wikibase to transform the authority
control regulations of the German Integrated Authority File (GND) into
machine-readable structured data, encouraging cooperation and openness in
digital transformation. Work continues to develop a "second home" for the
GND in Wikibase. Featuring speaker Barbara Fischer, Liaison Counsel at the
German National Library’s Agency for Standardization (DNB). Fischer is head
of the DFG-research project GND for Cultural data
<https://www.dnb.de/EN/Professionell/ProjekteKooperationen/Projekte/GND4C/gnd4c.html>
and the communication manager for *GND meets Wikibase*. On behalf of the
DNB, Fischer initiated the WikiLibrary Manifesto
<https://www.wikimedia.de/projects/wikilibrary-manifest/>. Fischer works to
increase the quality of metadata through Authority Control to foster
retrieval and linked data.
