UC Libraries Forum 2021: Leading with Innovation, Stronger through Collaboration

UC Davis participated in the Program for Cooperative Cataloging (PCC) Wikidata Pilot, to investigate the use of wikidata as an authoritative source for cataloging. From that experience, we hope to use the Wikidata items created for UCD organizations, such as departments, colleges, and research centers, etc, in our Aggie Experts project as our source for our campus academic organizational structure. This lightning talk describes why that’s a good idea and how to do it.
