I am excited to share some brief news on the recent progress we made in pushing bibliographic data on all #Arabic #Periodicals published before 1930 and their editors to #Wikidata: we did it!

With a bit of SPARQL one can now browse our data set from https://projectjaraid.github.io/ as a graph (https://tinyurl.com/jaraid-graph), table (https://w.wiki/9rDP) or a map (https://w.wiki/9o3Z).

More detailed descriptions of our effort will follow in the form of blog posts (and potentially a longer thread).

Holding data beyond #HathiTrust, #OCLC and the German #ZDB have not been pushed yet.
