To gain development capacity and help us fulfill our strategy to be a strong partner to Swedish GLAMs we plan to apply for funding from the Swedish National Heritage Board together with the Swedish Historical Museums and Swedish National Museum of Art.

The funding is research oriented and also directed towards nationally funded museums only - this means we will be a junior partner in any application.

The focus in the application - from a Wikimedia perspective - is to develop the capability of Wikidata to act as a vocabulary exchange and single API of access for Swedish museum vocabularies and authority files.

Drafting the application will mainly be done in late August, early September but I will have a first draft/scoping day with KG/Nationalmuseum on July 29.
