Notes for discussion with Federal Enterprise MediaWiki demonstration group, 26 Nov 2018
- Conference was in Columbus, Ohio, at Columbus public library and at Ohio State
- Conference schedule
Topics
- Local libraries and archives
- We visited real-world libraries and archives and museums
- At Ohio's state archives, saw weekly maps of Europe from U.S. military in WWII, vast rows of records
- at central Columbus public library, saw large scale precise scanners for digitizing documents of many kinds
- Online archives/library
- Presentation by Mark Graham, Director of the Wayback Machine at the Internet Archive
- Effort to gather video and related content from "small languages", Wikitongues
- OCLC/Worldcat presenters on the metadata systems of libraries, MARC records, planned improvements
- Structured data and wikidata
- Presentation from ARL (Association of Research Libraries) committee on how librarians can integrate with Wikidata
- Structured data on Wikimedia Commons under development, analogous to a museum's curation of online files
- Wikidata infoboxes -- usable on English Wikipedia now; more common on other Wikipedias; Illustration of such an infobox
- Tools
- Maps, automatic timelines, data charts: Submissions:2018/Life beyond TEXT: maps, graphs, data, and the future of interactivity -- can upload a JSON-formatted data file and get a chart out of it
- Effort to gather Wikimedia tools together on a platform with standard info about them (Toolhub, under development by James Hare) -- see subsequent presentations too on tools
Education: Use of Wikimedia for classwork
Copyright: John Mark Ockerbloom on U of Penn project identifying works out of copyright (federally funded research)
- Almost all works before 1923 are free of copyright in the U.S.; starting in January 2019, more materials will be copyright-free (all of 1923 I think)
- their project identifies many magazine/journal works up to 1960s whose copyrights were not renewed, and creates data records so they can be identified and classified
