📢 MetaBelgica Milestone!

We analyzed more than one million person authority records from the Royal Library of Belgium and our partners —our first big deliverable! We standardized dates & places, enriching data with GeoNames. This helps with public domain checks & multilingual linking.

🚀 Next steps: detecting overlaps & integrating data across institutions.

Today #KBR hosted the #PublicDomainDay event together with #meemoo and @wikimediafoundation Belgium. Many interesting talks! Good quality data is key to detect when something becomes public domain. With #MetaBelgica we aim to provide such high quality data.

What do "boom" and "arbre" have in common? They are both multilingual thesaurus terms for "tree", but they are also two different Belgian place names #dataCleaning

Vandaag deed onze data manager @SvenLieber mee bij een panelgesprek over #Wikibase in de culturele sector bij het #Fotomuseum in Antwerpen. Erg boeiende use cases van de deelnemers waarvoor de open software Wikibase een gooie oplossing biedt. We blijven contact houden!
