Structured Data on Wikimedia Commons for GLAM-Wiki
Wikimania 2019

In 2019, Wikimedia Commons is [https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Structured_data undergoing a major update]: it is now possible to describe files on Wikimedia Commons with [https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Structured_data multilingual, structured, machine-readable data from Wikidata]. '''[https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Structured_data Structured Data on Commons]''' opens many new perspectives for content partnerships and GLAM-Wiki projects that use Wikimedia Commons, including multilingual descriptions and more refined exchange of data between institutions and Wikimedia projects. In the past year, several GLAM institutions and Wikimedia communities have worked on '''[https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Structured_data/GLAM/Projects pilot projects]''' that explore and demonstrate the intricacies and potential of structured data for GLAM-Wiki activities. After a brief presentation about the new features on Wikimedia Commons, there is a panel and Q&A session, with demonstrations and discussions around these pilot projects.
