From her experience working with various GLAMs (cultural institutes) on Wikidata projects, User:Spinster outlines some requests and needs that these organizations have - and that might be different from our own community's needs.
Discussion to follow:
* What to do with these observations?
* What else do we need to know/ask from external contributors?
* Agenda-setting, prioritizing...
Typical requests from external data providers include:
- Keeping Wikidata and external data sources linked and in sync
- Ways, workflows, easy tools for external organizations to keep track of edits happening to 'their' data on Wikidata
- Integrity of data from external providers (e.g. how to make sure that correct statements, sourced to an external data provider, are not vandalized or changed in an incorrect manner)
- Statistics of use and re-use of specific sets of data, both on Wikimedia projects and externally
- And they would actually really love it if we'd embrace something like [[ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_Image_Interoperability_Framework | IIIF ]] - so let them work from their own image repositories, with us embedding that.
