First in a new blog post series from OCLC summarising the discussions of Metadata Managers as we explored the challenges and opportunities of AI in metadata creation and management.

Yesterday was all about the Wikidata Graph Split - making solid progress on ensuring our thesis project queries are updated to be workable and usable www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidat.... The split will require a few edits to the Wikidata Thesis Toolkit as well - work is underway - watch this space!

This exciting paper also links to the Wikidata Thesis Toolkit that I co-wrote with Ruth Elder, University of York. If @thneed.bsky.social's paper inspires you to get your theses onto Wikidata then the toolkit aims to help you! www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidat...

Brilliant article by @thneed.bsky.social detailing the huge success of their NZ Thesis Project making this unique content more discoverable and connected. Thanks for including mention of our LSE Thesis Project www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidat... as well!

Really excited about our new venture with The Heritage Lab: please circulate to any scholars or institutions you think would be a good fit for this project, which looks specifically at South Asian art, history and culture. Please feel free to DM me any questions! wikimedia.org.uk/2025/02/heri...

Grappling with the impact of the Wikidata Graph Split on a Monday morning has built up an appetite for lunch – a chance to see whether yesterday’s culinary grappling with a 4th attempt to modify a gluten & dairy free fruit soda bread recipe has worked!

'Wikidata has become the largest collection of open cultural heritage data the world has ever seen'

It’s now live! I’m so excited about this post – I’m recruiting to the new role of Head of Student Library Experience at @lselibrary.bsky.social. Interested? jobs.lse.ac.uk/Vacancies/W/...

Thanks to @oclcglobal.bsky.social for this opportunity to share our metadata future proofing experiences, and discuss with a much wider group of librarians - always love learning from everyone's expertise

In a little early deviation from metadata... having never arranged flowers before, I somehow produced this (with instruction!) earlier in the week, and was super excited! But I'm sticking with metadata for the day job!

Launching into the world of Bluesky with a focus on all things metadata, discovery and open research... Hello!
