 | Thank you for considering providing your input for the proposal. Although many applicants are not actively monitoring these pages and are unlikely to respond here, we will share your feedback with every applicant to help them improve their research. Please write your feedback in a constructive and supportive manner and note that Community Resources team's behavioral expectations as well as UCoC's expected behavior apply to this space. |
If possible, please keep your input concise. We'd particularly like feedback on the following questions:
- From what perspective or in what role are you providing your input? (For example: a Wikipedia editor, a representative of a Wikimedia chapter, a member of a regional committee)
- In what ways do you think this research can support members of the Wikimedia communities in their work on Wikimedia projects?
- Is there a particular project or affiliate in your country/region/project that can benefit from the result of this research and/or you recommend that the applicants seek to coordinate or collaborate with? If so, please provide details including the name of the project or affiliate and a short description of the relevance of the proposal to the needs of the affiliate or project.
- Do you have any other comments or feedback you would like to share with the Research Fund chairs?
making Wikidata exploration easier edit
1. Providing perspective from an academic librarian who regularly contributes to Wikidata, as well as a member of the Program for Cooperative Cataloging (though I'm not speaking on their behalf).
2. Really excited about the potential for WikiframeVG to unlock the potential of Wikidata for the average librarian (read: those who don't regularly code). The proposed usability study would ensure this new tool is thoughtfully informed by GLAM workers' use cases. WikiframeVG would help establish Wikidata as the premier space for GLAM institutions to invest in contributing to Wikidata.
3. The proposal lists the most relevant organizations in GLAM who are working within Wikimedia, but I would also encourage the applicants to consider outreach to the Program for Cooperative Cataloging as an avenue for sharing the results of any usability studies; while its members overlap significantly with the organizations listed in the proposal, there may be members who are not reached by these other outlets who would be interested in exploring Wikidata through WikiframeVG.
4. Very excited to see the potential for this tool to significantly increase the adoption of Wikidata by GLAM institutions! Skvader (talk) 19:33, 29 January 2024 (UTC)
