How to engage Wikimedia community and GLAM: Russian experience
Wikimania 2019

The task of this session is to figure out how to build a network of jurisdiction-based integrated registries and repositories and how to assemble all this information in Wikimedia projects. It seems that Russia was the first to launch the public domain/commons registry. Noosphere.ru is an integrated jurisdiction-based registry and reserve repository that has been built upon the network of Russian open repositories and banks of knowledge. The role of Wikimedia community was very important as Russian Wikimedia RU has started annual reports on new works in public domain commissioned by the Webpublishers Association. This will enable us to locate and emancipate immeasurable amount of knowledge and culture all over the world making it instantly available anywhere almost cost free.
