Hi all,

Europeana.eu is interested in using Wikidata. At the moment, we are trying to make a correspondence between the data structures in Wikidata and our data model EDM [1] for digitized cultural collections.

We started by looking at the general Wikidata project page [2] and found that the following projects and related property list pages could be a starting point for our work:
http://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:WikiProject_Visual_arts, http://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:WikiProject_Books,http://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:WikiProject_Periodicals.

Next to cultural items, we are also looking at persons, organizations, places, subjects, events and the abstract notion of work for enriching our data beyond the original description that is provided to us. For this we found the http://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:WikiProject_Infoboxes a good starting point since it gathers all of them, and also http://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:Years_WikiProject for simple dates.

We would appreciate if you could help us on finding other wikidata projects that we would have missed, or any other work that could be relevant for us!

Thanks in advance,

Hi Valentine,

I think the following projects would also fall within the scope of your search:
* https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:WikiProject_Source_MetaData
* https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:WikiProject_sum_of_all_paintings
* https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:WikiProject_Wikidata_for_research
The latter wrote a H2020 proposal in which Europeana is a partner:
* https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:WikiProject_Wikidata_for_research/EINFRA-9-2015
.

Cheers,

Daniel

Hi, for France I'm also aware of the historical monuments project, that might be interesting for you:

Hi Valentine!

I think the Authority Control project would be of interest to you:
