PCC Wikidata PilotIdentity Management in NACO Task Group
John Riemer, UCLAHilary Thorsen, Stanford
PoCo Meeting October 30, 2020
PCC Background
PCC’s 2018-2021 Strategic Directions document:
SD4: Accelerate the movement toward ubiquitous identifier creation and identity management at the network level --
PCC Background
“We aspire to attain an environment where identity management work activity is characterized by much greater proportions and numbers of entities receiving identifiers; many non-NACO institutions participating; and strategic partnerships and collaboration existing among cultural heritage organizations, rights management agencies, Wikidata, and others. We expect to find ways in a linked data environment where collaboration on identity management can interoperate across multiple data sources. Attainment of this vision will increase both human and machine usage of this data and its overall value.”
PCC Background
Collaborate with other identity management communities to facilitate and promote the use of unique identifiers.This pilot is sponsored by PCC, but it is definitely open to all.
