2021-10-30 –, Room 2
[pre-recorded] This session covers how The Met Museum has contributed object metadata and depiction information to Wikimedia projects and in return, how Wikidata content is brought back into The Met's database and made available via its open access API. We will discuss our recent work with Structured Data on Commons, including the tools, processes, modeling challenges, and the complexities of using references for SDC. We welcome dialogue and discussion on how to improve these practices.
