Wikimedia CH/Project/Montreux Jazz Festival

Project edit

This project is part of the GLAM Program 2020 of Wikimedia CH and intends to carry out an integration between the Montreux Jazz Festival (MJF) authority file and Wikidata. This subset of neutral cultural data about musicians, concerts and songs, has been donated by the Montreux Jazz Archives in collaboration with the Claude Nobs Foundation and EPFL under a CC0 licence. The Montreux Jazz Archives and the Claude Nobs Foundation have contracted Wikimedia CH to implement this project.

You can find a full dump of the data here: https://mjf-database.epfl.ch/exports/d9bc43ed77fc1dfcc405ca8598241a4e

Data involved in this project describes concerts performed during the years as part of the Montreux Jazz Festival. Entities in the dataset are of three types:

Goals edit

  • Interlink: A series of semi automatic procedures will be implemented to link entities on the MJF database to existing Wikidata entities
  • Data upload: data, enriched with the previously made interlinks will be uploaded on wikidata.

Status edit
