Linked open data is an increasingly vital component of data management for library and archival collections. Wikidata is one of the most popular and widely accessible platforms for linked open data usage, and is a great fit for repositories looking to increase the visibility of their online collections. This course will cover linked open data specifically within the Wikidata environment. The class will teach librarians, archivists, and other information professionals the basics they need to create Wikidata profiles, upload collections in bulk using free online tools, and access and manipulate collections data via platforms like the SPARQL Query Service. No previous knowledge of linked data or data analytics is required to participate. No software downloads will be required.
