Topic: Pilot Participant Lightning Rounds!
From Columbia University Librariesof Colorado Boulder
Presenters: Mollie Echeverría, Metadata Operations Specialist (mae2163@columbia.edu) and Alex Whelan, Time Based Media Metadata Librarian (aw3195@columbia.edu)
Description: Our talk focuses on how we've been exploring incorporating Wikidata into Columbia's NACO/SACO cataloging workflows. We will discuss how we've been using Wikidata to create name authority records for uncontrolled access points for entities from oral history interviews held by Columbia's Oral History Archive. We will also touch on our mapping of Wikidata properties for living persons to MARC 21 authority elements, our experimentation with Listeria lists and the P5008 "on focus list of Wikimedia project (P5008)" property, and on our efforts to augment Wikidata entities for Black-owned newspapers and collate research for creating controlled title access points.

Description: CU Boulder's PCC Wikidata Pilot project involves women poets from the Romantic Period that are included in two digital collections: CU Boulder’s Women Poets of the Romantic Period and Santa Clara’s Stainforth Library of Women's Writing. Unfortunately, many of the poets in these collections are relatively unknown. In this project, our NACO, ISNI, and Wikidata skills have converged to provide stronger bibliographic identities and a more robust Web presence for these women poets.

Description: The UNLV PCC Wikidata Pilot began in June 2020 and has included multiple production sprints, including the creation of items relating to Nevada mining history, digitized historic newspapers, and the African American history of Las Vegas’s Westside neighborhood. In this talk, titled "Creating Wikidata items in record time: a beginner's guide to QuickStatements and Cradle," Violet will discuss two tools used to create and edit Wikidata items. The presenter will discuss potential use cases for these tools and share tutorials developed for those unfamiliar with command line editing.

Description: One of the on-going projects at the University of Toronto Libraries (UTL) revolves around adding "archives at" statements (P485) into Wikidata from UTL's online archival description and discovery platform. Since 2019, U of T archivists, volunteers, and digital initiatives staff have added over 900 "archives at" statements, creating several hundred new Wikidata items along the way. Initially an exploratory project to better understand the possibilities of Wikidata, this work has led to concrete workflows and greater collaboration across the entire library system to create linked open data from U of T archival descriptions. It has had the unexpected benefit of bringing together staff with varying expertise and domain knowledge. This lightning talk is a summary of the project, previously presented at the April 20th 2021 LD4 Wikidata Affinity Group call, with new insights into how external communities such as the PCC Wikidata Pilot have helped move this initiative forward.
