This final meeting of the PCC Wikidata Pilot will be devoted to discussion of next steps beyond the Pilot. The meeting will be interactive with Zoom Polls and open dialog. The PCC Identity Management Task Group, the PCC group that has been sponsoring the Wikidata Pilot, will be addressing the PCC Policy Committee at its January meeting to seek their approval for the next steps that are desired by the Pilot community.
Please attend to have your voice heard!

There were two components of the agenda for October's Pilot meeting:
- First up, Hilary Thorsen shared themes and take-aways from the recent Pilot survey -- (Slides)
The Response Rate was impressively high, so thank you to those who generously submitted your ideas. The survey results will be used by the Identity Management Task Group as it presents to the PCC Policy Committee at its annual meeting in early November. We will be working with PCC leadership to advocate for the structure and supports that would be most useful to you in your ongoing Wikidata work.
- Secondly, we had two Lightning Round Talks from Pilot participants
From Wheaton College (Illinois) -- (Slides)
Presenter: Christa Strickler, Associate Professor of Library Science (christa.strickler@wheaton.edu)
Description: One of Wheaton's pilot projects involves creating and enhancing items related to Christian hymns, using one hymnal as the basis for a test data set for the substantial collection of hymnals in our special collections. Work has included modeling data for hymn texts, tunes, composers, and hymn writers; using Open Refine to reconcile data from Hymnary.org with Wikidata; and creating/enhancing Wikidata items that link to Hymnary and Library of Congress identifiers. Some data modeling difficulties have yet to be worked out.
From UCLA Library -- (Slides)
Presenters: Paromita Biswas, Continuing Resources Metadata Librarian (pbiswas@library.ucla.edu) and Erica Zhang, Metadata Librarian for Open Access (ezhang20@library.ucla.edu)
Description: This presentation will be a brief overview of the pilot at the UCLA Library. In particular, it will highlight the pilot's role in providing collaborative opportunities with units outside of cataloging, our work with underrepresented entities in Wikidata, and how challenges in working with Wikidata can also contribute to the pilot's success.

The PCC Wikidata Pilot Project Team at University of Washington Libraries set a goal to create Wikidata items for all of their open-access institutional electronic theses and dissertations. While items for thesis authors, faculty, departments, and subjects have largely been created and edited by hand, the UW team is using a semi-automated workflow harnessing OpenRefine's schema extension to create batches of Wikidata items based on MARC21 metadata already in their catalog.
Crystal Clements of the University of Washington Libraries will demonstrate the workflow in detail, share useful tools and reusable code, and provide guidance for adapting the workflow for use with any MARC21-to-Wikidata project.

Wednesday, June 9, 9am PDT / 12pm EDT
Two colleagues from Wikimedia Deutschland, Lydia Pintscher and Amy Chandra, talked about two new data quality tools that they have developed and how they use ORES quality scores and constraint violations to measure data quality:
They also briefly introduced a new system they have just begun designing to find mismatches between Wikidata's data and other databases.
