Please join us for the next installment of the LD4 Wikibase Working Hour.
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 and the communication manager for
GND meets Wikibase. On behalf of the DNB, Fischer initiated the
WikiLibrary Manifesto. Fischer works to increase the quality of metadata through Authority Control to foster retrieval and linked data.
