Abstract (up to 300 words to describe your proposal)
The Panel (to be confirmed) will highlight ways that GLAM's of all sizes can utilize Wikidata to enrich their data, Provide detailed data for open images, publish Open Data and explore their collections in new ways. Glam's can also use Wikidata to publish and explore their data in multiple languages. Wikidata also allows GLAM's to connect their collections together, creating a web of interconnected (linked) data. Jason will draw on his experience as a Wikimedian in Residence at The National Library of Wales, highlighting the challenges and successes of the project, including the appointment of the worlds first Wikidata Visiting Scholar and the way in which teams of volunteers were engaged in the project. The Panel will also discuss ways that the Wikidata community can do more to support GLAM's and mentor those who want to make the leap to Wikidata.
