DESCRIPTION:Wikimedia Sverige is working in partnership with the Nationalmu
 seum and the National Historical Museums to explore and use the power of W
 ikidata together with the museums' authority data files. As Wikidata is po
 sitioning itself as the web's central authority hub\, this is an exciting 
 example of how GLAMs can do practical work with it.\nThe aim of our projec
 t is to develop and evaluate methods of linking museums' authority data to
  Wikidata\, with the ultimate goal of making it easier for researchers and
  other users to find\, understand and analyze relevant information distrib
 uted across different museum collections.\nThe project includes visualisat
 ions of relations between historical persons to show the potential of othe
 rwise abstract large amounts of data. Another aim is to equip the museums'
  staff with the skills and tools to actively engage with the Wikimedia pro
 jects\, and in the long run increase the knowledge about Wikidata and its 
 possibilities among GLAMs in Sweden.
