LCCNbot: Creating connections between the Library of Congress Name Authority File (LCNAF) and Wikidata
Tuesday October 8, 2024 10:30am - 11:15am EDT
Zoom
ZOOM PASSCODE IS: ld4-2024
In early 2024 Matt Miller, Steven Folsom, and Mary Campany deployed LCCNbot, a Wikidata bot that adds Library of Congress authority identifiers to Wikidata items. Since the bot began running it has made more than 10,000 edits and has facilitated the correction and de-duplication of many LCNAF records. This presentation will focus on the work of a team of volunteers who correct errors the bot identifies, their impact on both Wikidata and the Library of Congress authority file, and potential next steps for improving linked data connections between these systems and others that are used by the library linked data community.
