LivingData 2025, GLAMWiki and a "collector" Wikidata property proposal
LivingData 2025
Tiago Lubiana and Anabela Plos successfully organised the session Wikimedia and Biodiversity Data: A Mutualistic Relationship in the Open Knowledge Ecosystem at the LivingData 2025 conference. Many of the presentations in this session had a BHL focus or contained BHL content. More information can be found on the Meta-Wiki page https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Event:Living_Data_2025 and presentations and slides can be found at this Wikimedia Commons category https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Living_Data_2025
GLAMwiki Conference
Tiago Lubiana, JJ Dearborn, Giovanna Fontenelle amongst many others of the BHL-Wiki working group physically attended the recent GLAMwiki Conference. Tiago, JJ and Giovanna all presented on their work with BHL at that conference. Further information on their presentations can be see in the conference programme.
New property proposal for “collector”
In October a Wikidata property proposal was put forward by Wikidata editor Dactylantha for a “collector” property. One of the motivations for this proposal was to assist with the BHL-Wiki working group’s type specimen data model work. See the following link for the proposal and the discussion https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:Property_proposal/Natural_science#collector
