Europeana DSI Webinar - The ontology of Wikidata: how to interact with it for a better quality
20 June 2023
Many cultural institutions that aggregate data for Europeana use Wikidata elements to enrich their content and improve the quality of their data. The more Wikidata is effective, the better the quality of the results of those who use Wikidata will be. In this webinar, held by Camillo Pellizzari, we will learn the characteristics of the Wikidata ontology and how to correctly add new items related to concepts absent in Wikidata by setting the relationships between them and the pre-existing elements (classes and subclasses).
Europeana DSI Webinar - Methodologies for metadata semantic enrichment

Opening: Maria Teresa Natale (MCA)

This conversation featured Camille Pène, founder member of Les Augures, Dan Barnard, lead artist at Fast Familiar, and Barbara Fischer, liaison counsel at the German National Library’s Agency for Standardization (DNB).
