A PCC WikiProject for the UC Davis Library to leverage Wikidata content.

Aim & Scope

[edit]

The UC Davis Library is a participant in the PCC Wikidata Pilot Project. The library plans to make the pilot project a conduit to train librarians and staff on the use of wikidata in general. Our specific tasks relate to augmenting our Digital Collections, specifically adding wikidata identifiers for digital content creators, subject matter, and location.

Background

[edit]

The UC Davis Library maintains the recent UC Davis Digital Collections. The collections are maintained in a Linked Data Platform, and provide access to the collections and objects via Schema.org metadata.

The metadata allows for linked data identifiers for specific components of descriptions; including data creators, subjects, and locations. Where appropriate, the collections in include pointers to both the Library of Congress Name Authority File and the Faceted Application of Subject Terminology. When objects do not exist in these controlled terms, there is no standard methodology for adding additional information.
