DESCRIPTION:Wiki API Connector aims to simplify the extract-transform-load
  (ETL) process of metadata to Wikimedia projects without requiring complic
 ated coding or software development. It was originally created as a tool t
 o facilitate the import of Smithsonian Institution images and metadata to 
 Commons and Wikidata (as a Wikibase-aware analog of GLAM Wiki Toolset or P
 attypan). With the main core written in Python\, the use of a familiar YAM
 L configuration file to map an API's JSON fields to Wikidata properties an
 d items might be a general solution useful for other GLAM entities or part
 ner organizations. This session describes the early work done so far and s
 eeks feedback on how it might be useful for other users and applications.

 n and more widely adopted\n* Mbabel – tool for one-click creation of dra
 ft articles based on Wikidata content\n* Translation – how might biograp
 hies in other language Wikipedia editions be used in translation tools and
  accessed in Listeria listings\, and what is the current status of machine
  translation\n* Cradle – forms-based interface for generating new Wikida
