Abstract

The Wikidata Thesis Toolkit builds on the foundation of work initiated by Helen Williams (London School of Economics Library) in 2019 as a Covid “lockdown” project. This was prompted by a growing interest in Wikidata as a topic of conversation within the Metadata community, and led to her work on the development of a process to upload pre-existing theses metadata into Wikidata. Subsequent work by Ruth Elder (University of York Library) to develop a similar process flow at York added additional refinements, and the resulting collaboration between the two libraries resulted in the production of the Wikidata Thesis Toolkit.
