Wikidata goes Library – The GLAMorous side of Wikidata

Please use this Registration-Link! www.wikimedia.at/application-wikidata-goes-library-vienna-2019

We are very happy to announce our very special program this time!

Expert talks
At the beginning of our day together we will be able to thank a number of international guests, who make their way from far to introduce us to the world of Wikidata around libraries with 15 minute expert impulse presentations!

Our wonderful speakers:

*) Tracy Hoffmann, University Library Leipzig: Using Wikidata for Video Game Research – Experiences, Opportunities and Challenges for Research Data Management
*) Nicolas Vigneron on cooperation: Wikidata, Wikibase and French National Library
*) Christian Erlinger: Wikidata based extended search queries – How to build a new type of extended search forms to explore your local GLAM-catalogues in a semantic way.

Accordingly, we have also adapted our workshop program. This time you can choose from four different possible workshops at our registration-page: www.wikimedia.at/application-wikidata-goes-library-vienna-2019
Please let us know what you are interested in, so we can plan the rooms accordingly!
