WikidataCon 2021

Govdirectory - just another WikiProject?
2021-10-30 , Room 1

What is WikiProject Govdirectory, and why should you care? We'll talk about how data from Wikidata can be reused for high-impact projects, while at the same time improves the data in Wikidata. How do you go about to try to model and add data for all the public agencies of an entire country?
