Develop materials to support Australian GLAMs engagement with Wikidata

{{Funding Application
|title=Develop materials to support Australian GLAMs engagement with Wikidata
|application_date=2020-05-04

|amount_requested=8000
|description=Wikimedia Australia has a long history of working with the GLAM
(Galleries, Libraries, Archives, Museums) communities. Primarily these
projects have focused on Wikipedia although there have been some
examples of Wikidata projects. WMAU wants to build on those existing
relationships to drive the uptake of the Wikidata platform.

Discussions with the Wikidata GLAM community and a review of the
existing materials indicates that there are significant gaps in the
resources to materials needed to facilitate this onboarding. In
particular, more work is required to fill out:

- “Pre-upload” stages of GLAM institutional engagement (a value
proposition, early stage planning, data identification and
prioritisation);
- “Impact” stages (measurement, benefits realisation).
- Examples of  existing content and engaged Australian institutions:
- Data and media partnerships workflow
- Integrating your bibliographic data with Wikidata from naught to aught

We would like to commission a content developer to build out the
content within the existing framework and with Subject Matter Expert
(SME) input from the global Wikidata community.

Simultaneously, we would work with the Australian Wikimedia community
to identify suitable institutions to approach and test the materials
in an iterative way.

We envisage the following timeline:
- May - agree funding, advertise role, appoint content developer,
commence engagement with global Wikidata and Australian Wikimedia
communities.
- May - develop content with SME input, commence testing with
Australian Wikimedians and their GLAM contacts.
- June - finalise v1.0 of Wikidata GLAM engagement content in multiple
formats (Web, PDF, PowerPoint, demos).

Outcomes
- A foundational set of globally reusable deliverables that can be
further developed.
- Content for webinars to brief the Wikimedia Australia community
presenting to GLAMs about Wikidata
- Improved relationships with Australian GLAM institutions.
- Data from 5 new institutions to be identified as target datasets to
be  available via Wikidata, and pitch made to these GLAMs
- Project report
|objectives=Role advertisement
