Creating Library Linked Data with Wikibase

Book excerpt: "The OCLC Research linked data Wikibase prototype ("Project Passage") provided a sandbox in which librarians from 16 US institutions could experiment with creating linked data to describe resources--without requiring knowledge of the technical machinery of linked data. This report provides an overview of the context in which the prototype was developed, how the Wikibase platform was adapted for use by librarians, and eight use cases where pilot participants (co-authors of this report) describe their experience of creating metadata for resources in various formats and languages using the Wikibase editing interface." - page 8
