Sharing knowledge
Summary: Wikipedia, Wikimedia Commons and
the Wiki-community can offer
added value for KB, NA and our users!
Let’s collaborate!
(“set up a GLAM-wiki partnership”)
But we had a lot of questions!
• How does Wikipedia work?
• How do we get our content on Wikipedia?
• How do we collaborate with the Wiki-community?
We could use some help!!

“Upload sets of freely licensed or rights free images from your collection to Wikimedia Commons”
Some reasons 1. Expose content hidden away in your own site 2. Enable reuse on Wikipedia 3. Reach new audiences, also outside Wikipedia 4. Improve object presentation (case study KB)
5. Measure impact (glamorous, baglama)
4. Do image donations
http://www.kb.nl/themas/atlassen/stedenatlas-de-wit
4.4 Improve object presentation
This is an historic atlas on the KB website This is a 17th century atlas on the KB website
http://www.kb.nl/themas/atlassen/stedenatlas-de-wit
a
This is how a typical map is presented.
No context!
What am I looking at??
In 2014 KB donated the 146 images in this atlas to Wikimedia Commons (all in the public domain)
commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Atlas de Wit 1698
Context, metadata! Reuse conditions, provenance,
link to KB-catalogue
This is how a the same map is
presented on Commons.

Case:
Dutch Resistance newspapers from WW2
During WW2 ± 1.300 Dutch underground
newspapers have been issued

http://resolver.kb.nl/resolve?urn=ddd:010447825 http://resolver.kb.nl/resolve?urn=ddd:010450508
From big ones
(e.g. Parool, Vrij Nederland, Trouw, de Waarheid)
To very small, home-made, pamphlet-like
issues
After the war many titles have been preserved at the NIOD …

.. were described in formal library catalogues…
.. were full-text digitized in Delpher …
The Dutch national aggregator for historic newspapers, books and magzines
.. and were contextualized & interlinked
1 by 1 in a book
Few people know this book, it is a ‘dead’ publication
.. and were contextualized & interlinked
1 by 1 in a book
Links to related underground newspapers
So: a lot of – mainly unconnected - information is
available about these WW2 underground newspapers
nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Categorie:Illegale_pers_in_de_Tweede_Wereldoorlog
At the same time, only 14 of these 1300 newspapers are described on WP:NL
The Wikiproject Verzetskranten will change this!
Systematically and uniformly describe & interlink all 1.300 Dutch underground newspapers from
WW2 on Wikipedia
..using (yet) unconnected data from
1. Library catalogue (metadata)
2. Delpher (full-texts)
3. Book (context & interlinks)
… bringing untold WW2 stories to a big audience…
and making the resulting LOD available for
open reuse for other purposes (e.g. datavizualisations)

7. Collaboration between public libraries and Wikipedia
In NL there are 157 public libraries with
3.8M members and 60M visits p/a

They are faced with changing tasks
Lending books
• Access to (online) information
• Personal development
• Arts & culture
• Be part of knowlegde networks
Local history clubs
Local archive, museum
Library clients
Wikipedia/media
http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/e/ec/Amsterdam_-_Openbare_Bibliotheek_-_0038.jpg CC-BY-SA
Since 1-1-2015 KB has central role in facilitating the network of Dutch public libraries (Wsob)
“Using our Wiki-experience, lets see if we can facilitate willing public libraries to
find out if and how they can collaborate with the Wikimedia knowlegde network”
http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/e/ec/Amsterdam_-_Openbare_Bibliotheek_-_0038.jpg CC-BY-SA
Two aims
1. Contribute local knowlegde to WP via library’s network & collections
2. Make it easy for WP-consumers to find & use those sources
Current status
• Strong interest from: Amsterdam, Arnhem, Amersfoort, Oosterhout
• Hands-on local projects in Q1-2 2016 (photos)
