| Description | In Belgium, they have a project with multiple museums; creating a data model on wikidata, for documenting all instances and attributes of a collection. They setup an integrated project campaign, upload photos and upload data on wikidata using OpenRefine. They create a specific Wikiproject in Wikidata and link all the items using the property P6104 "Maintained by project", to allow them to get reports via Wikidata Query. They have partnerships with other Open knowledge organisations. |
