DPLA is continuing to innovate by taking advantage of Wikidata entities and Structured Data on Commons to continually synchronize data and improve discoverability. We'll discuss issues around large datasets, aggregation, reconciliation, and other challenges DPLA has faced. Agenda
      • Talk to the Search Platform / Query Service Team—September 7th, 2022 Date: Wednesday, September 7th, 2022. Time: 15:00-16:00 UTC / 08:00 PDT / 11:00 EDT / 17:00 CEST / 19:00 GST

      • For anything but the PATCH endpoint, you can follow along development on beta Wikidata and see the latest docs. More details at Wikidata:REST API feedback round.
    • Lexicographical data: Continued addressing remaining issues found during testing (phab:T314064, phab:T312633, phab:T312652)
