December's meeting will be a U.S. national libraries project showcase:
Our presenters will be Paul Frank from the Library of Congress and Liz Plantz of the National Library of Medicine. Paul describes their presentations in this way:
"Everyone has heard of the “NACO-lite” concept but who has actually seen it in practice? The Library of Congress and the National Library of Medicine are participating in the PCC Wikidata Pilot with similar yet diverse projects. At the Library of Congress, pilot participants are experimenting with the NACO-lite concept by creating Wikidata items for entities that are not already represented in the LC/NACO Authority File, then creating a NACO-lite record with a link to the Wikidata item to serve as the spoke pointing to the Wikidata hub. At the National Library of Medicine, pilot participants are working with descriptions of persons and corporate bodies associated with the NLM Postcards of Nursing Collection, working with NACO records that already exist but can be enhanced through Wikidata links. These two pilot projects, similar yet distinct, at the national library level, can pave the way for all NACO members to participate in the change from authority control to identity management."
