Flemish institutions start with Wikidata project

By Romaine

Linked Open Data via Wikidata

PACKED vzw started, with support from Wikimedia and its users, the project Linked Open Data via Wikidata in what cultural institutions start working with Wikidata. The project exists out of:

  1. A white paper is written about Wikidata. The document describes how data can be added to Wikidata, what the benefits are, best practices, user cases, and more.
  2. Participating partner organisations provide a CSV dataset with their art works.
  3. This dataset will be added to Wikidata under a CC0 license.
  4. The partner organisations receive back an RDF export with their data.

Also three YouTube videos have been created to explain the project:

PACKED vzw is in Flanders the centre of expertise "in centring the development of knowledge, experience and expertise regarding digitisation and digital archiving, and in spreading the acquired knowledge, experience and expertise". They work together with the various institutes and organisations in Flanders that have the intention to take care of cultural heritage. (more info)
