So, it turns out the German implementation of eIDAS (electronic ID wallet for e.g. age attestation) will require an Apple/Google account to function

Mal wird die Universität als von Gesinnungsaktivisten gekaperte Anstalt beschrieben, mal als notorisch reformunwilliges Machtkartell, das sich gegen gesellschaftliche Ansprüche abschottet.

A new preprint, “Academic Publishing in Occupied Territories: Challenges to Research Integrity and Academic Trust,” uncovers the complex legal and ethical challenges surrounding the unlawful appropriation of Ukraine-born academic journals by the occupation authorities of the Russian Federation.

📝 An article we co-authored with @tibosl @tibhannover, colleagues Ina Blümel & Lucia Sohmen is finally out via the Journal of Open Humanities Data (special issue on #Wikidata): https://doi.org/10.5334/johd.440

It outlines hands-on learnings from the data curation workflows Lucia Sohmen has implemented in our lab within three concrete (and openly accessible) datasets. In addition, the article sets out the overall strategy Ina Blümel and myself have developed for managing cultural heritage data projects in the context of an interconnected Linked-Open-Data-driven Wikibase Ecosystem.

Check out the article, the supplement (with links to live queries & data viz) and let us know if it resonates with how you implement Wikidata in your digital humanities / cultural heritage projects!
