I work at Casalini Libri as Research and Development assistant for the Share-VDE initiative.
Casalini Libri, provider of bibliographic and authority data as member of the Program for Cooperative Cataloging, is promoter of the Share-VDE initiative. Originally intended as a community discovery platform for the conversion and publication of participating libraries’ MARC data into linked data, Share-VDE is now evolving to become an interactive authoritative source. In this context, we are now working on the enrichment of Share-VDE entities (clusters of works, agents etc.) with Wikidata identifiers and vice versa (enrichment of Wikidata entities with Share-VDE original URIs). To that aim, we envisage to develop automated (API-based) and manual querying functions towards Wikidata triggered by a dedicated Share-VDE module that also serves as editor of the entities of Share-VDE Cluster Knowledge Base.
