This Working Group is a space for discussion and dissemination of use case experiences and best practices around Wikibase and Wikidata in a DH context, and for contributions to further developing the Wikibase software and related tools.
In a general context where GLAM (Galleries, Libraries, Archives and Museums) and research data become open and FAIR, an increasing number of projects rely on deploying software provided by the Wikimedia Foundation and related initiatives, and public infrastructures such as those run by Wikimedia emerge as important or even central repositories of cultural knowledge. We are witnessing more and more fruitful collaboration between DH researchers, GLAM institutions, and members of the Wikimedia movement. This Working Group is a bridge between these three backgrounds, and it understands its work as a contribution towards Open Science and the Commons.
The group maintains a Wikibase instance and a Zotero group, and aims at being present and available for the community in different fora.
