From SlideShare to Zenodo & How Dutch Wikipedia uses the Digital Library for Dutch Literature
10 reasons why the National Library of the Netherlands moved its Wikimedia-related publications from SlideShare to Zenodo, and keeps them on Wikimedia Commons
In the August 2024 Netherlands report I mentioned an article on Diff in which I explain why I decided to migrate all of KB's Wikimedia related publications of the last 13 years from SlideShare to Zenodo, while keeping copies on Wikimedia Commons.
In December I translated this article into Dutch and partnered up with the Public Spaces initiative to get it published on their site. The result is the Dutch article 10 redenen waarom de KB publicaties van SlideShare naar Zenodo verhuisde...en ze ook op Wikimedia Commons plaatst.
To stay in line with the intentions of the article itself, the text is also available on Wikimedia Commons and Zenodo.
How Dutch Wikipedia uses the Digital Library for Dutch Literature
The Digital Library for Dutch Literature (Dutch & short: DBNL) is a website about Dutch language and Dutch literature containing thousands of literary texts, secondary literature and additional information, such as author biographies.
Information about authors, titles, and texts from the DBNL serve as sources for thousands of Dutch Wikipedia articles. In November and December 2024 the KB made a detailed analysis of
- The number of DBNL links (URLs) contained in Dutch Wikipedia articles.
- Dutch Wikipedia articles with the most links to DBNL.
- DBNL pages that are most often referenced from Dutch Wikipedia articles.
- Dutch Wikipedia articles that are largely based on ('own their existance to') information from DBNL exclusively.
You can see and read the detailed analysis in
