Project approach
[edit]In order to obtain more (international) visibility, reusability, enrichment and external connections of the data about the 2.7M authors in the NTA, putting the data/persons available in the NTA into Wikidata is a logical and important project. This concerns both adding NTA identifiers (Nationale Thesaurus voor Auteursnamen ID (P1006)) to Wikidata items, as well as copying data such as name variations, dates and places of births and deaths etc. from the NTA into Wikidata.
This roughly requires the following steps:
Get to understand the relevant entities and properties in both the native NTA and Wikidata
Completely tightening the existing sync between the NTA and Wikidata and resolving outstanding deviations in both datasets.
Adding NTA ids to (existing items about) persons in Wikidata who do not yet have an NTA id
Adding persons from the NTA who have not yet been described in Wikidata.
When all 2.7M persons are in Wikidata, all Wikidata Qids will also be included in the NTA.
