Abstract[edit]
GLAMpipe is a tool for acquiring, manipulating and uploading media and data to Wikimedia projects. It has been designed to serve as a mass upload tool to Wikimedia Commons, but we are expanding it for use with data imports to Wikidata.
In this tutorial we will go through the use of the tool for both types of use cases: creating a mass upload of images and a data import to Wikidata.
The tool's first development phase will be completed by the time of WikidataCon. It is a good opportunity to discuss how to develop it further. It is possible to use the tool already, as a desktop app or an online app following the links below. You may also join as a test user with your upload project, contact Susanna Ånäs

Questions / Answers[edit]
Is there an API? Yes, but ...
Who to contact: see group
Writing directly to Wikidata rather than via QuickStatements? If people want that
Name limits the target group. GLAM is an acronym that is not very broadly known and the tool's application is broader than GLAM.
Stephan B: interested in specific components Partner with Europeana?
What about Structured Data on Commons? It is compatible. Not such a big deal to adapt to that.
Which file formats does it accept? Probably any.
For how many projects has it been used already? It's barely ready/exposable. Not many yet.
Support for Wikisource would be nice! -> add request to github or to the group --> especially support Book template on WikiCommons
