- Next Linked Data for Libraries LD4 Wikidata Affinity Group
<https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:WikiProject_LD4_Wikidata_Affinity_Group>
call September 6, 2022: Dominic Byrd-McDevitt will talk about the Digital
Public Library's Wikimedia program, an effort to provide national
leadership around access and discoverability of digital collections by
leveraging Wikipedia and its sister projects. 2 years ago, DPLA
launched a
digital asset pipeline to enable participating institutions in the DPLA
network to share their collections with Wikimedia Commons. DPLA is
continuing to innovate by taking advantage of Wikidata entities and
Structured Data on Commons to continually synchronize data and improve
discoverability. We'll discuss issues around large datasets, aggregation,
reconciliation, and other challenges DPLA has faced. Agenda

Development
- REST API:
- We are continuing to work on the PATCH endpoint to make it possible
to edit existing statements (phab:T306934
<https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T306934>)
- We started the security review process for one of the libraries we
are using. Until that is finished this part of the REST API can
unfortunately not be tested on beta Wikidata. (phab:T316523
<https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T316523>)
- For anything but the PATCH endpoint, you can follow along
development on beta Wikidata <https://wikidata.beta.wmflabs.org> and
see the latest docs
<https://doc.wikimedia.org/Wikibase/master/js/rest-api/>. More
details at Wikidata:REST API feedback round
<https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:REST_API_feedback_round>.
- Lexicographical data: Continued addressing remaining issues found
during testing (phab:T314064 <https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T314064>,
phab:T312633 <https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T312633>, phab:T312652
<https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T312652>)
- Continuing work on supporting sitelinks to redirects under some
special conditions (phab:T278962
