The process of upload, disseminate and report a GLAM and how wikidatifying it improves it: a Brazilian experience
Wikimania 2019

It seems to be true that the number of GLAM organizations releasing their collections under open access initiatives is increasing, and with that large volumes of data and files are being uploaded. There are enough challenges in that process itself, the modeling of information, the mix n’ match of data and images, deal with license policies etc; When all of that is finished, new challenges arise: How to disseminate that rich material in the Wiki projects? How to structure the data in a way that the community can participate in the GLAM? And not less important: When the project is finished, how to report it? How to measure the impact of the project? The larger the GLAM institution, the more resources it has to overcome these challenges. Being working with different sizes of them, in this session I want to discuss some tools used in the projects I touched that help all sort of GLAMs to organize task forces in different wikis, measure and report the results; Also how Wikidata takes on the lead role in all of this process.
