"Specifically, the wikidata proposal for GLAM institutions involves: (1) advancing the implementation of the already tested model of residence of the Wikipedia specialists in the institutions; (2) connect the wikidata with locally controlled vocabularies; (3) use the Wikidata authorities to describe collections of traditional and indigenous knowledge in their collections; (4) join efforts in the wiki citation project, which has gathered considerable volume of bibliographic data; as well as the shared use of tools and standards that promote qualified access to institutions’ collections, such as Scholia (web browsing tool), Rights Statements, and IIIF images). Undoubtedly, a robust and interesting strategy."
