"ARL White Paper on Wikidata Highlights Use of Open Knowledge in Scholarly Communication, Special Collections"

ARL has released "ARL White Paper on Wikidata Highlights Use of Open Knowledge in Scholarly Communication, Special Collections."

Here's an excerpt:

Librarians are using Wikidata's structured data about people, topics, concepts, and objects to populate open source faculty profiling systems, to enhance bibliographic records in online catalogs, and to collaborate with communities on meaningful, culturally relevant, descriptive metadata for special collections and archives. The white paper, circulated for public comment in fall 2018, contains examples of Wikidata applications, screenshots, and recommendations for involvement on an individual or organizational level.
