Title: A Nation's Dissertations: The New Zealand Thesis Project
Speaker: DrThneed/Tamsin Braisher
Abstract: The New Zealand Thesis Project is a ground-breaking collaboration between academic librarians and Wikimedias to upload a national set of dissertations to Wikidata. We used OpenRefine to clean and manipulate our data for theses, and a number of Wikidata tools to visualise our data in new ways. I'll show how we did this work, and some examples of what we learned, and why more libraries should be connecting their collections to Wikidata.

The New Zealand Thesis Project is a ground-breaking initiative that showcases the power of collaboration between academic librarians and Wikimedians. Through leveraging the vast amount of data available on Wikipedia and Wikidata, the NZThesisProject is making it easier than ever before to find and connect relevant research from all over the world. Institutions and academic librarians provide valuable support and expertise, ensuring that the data is high-quality and reliable.

This project brings together metadata for all of New Zealand, with more than 66,000 theses from 13 educational institutions, and by adding them to Wikidata, allows them to be easily accessed in multiple languages and cited on Wikipedia. Using OpenRefine to clean and manipulate our data, we have disambiguated 12,000 individuals connected to the thesis collection, allowing us to visualise our data in new ways and find unexpected connections. The project has also developing a data model, collaborating with Australian Wikimedians to map controlled vocabularies to Wikidata, and improving data on New Zealand qualifications.

The NZThesisProject is a testament to the power of collaboration and highlights the potential for academic institutions, academic librarians, and Wikimedians to work together towards a common goal.

(talk may be relevant to GLAM or Open Data sessions but best fits in Education as we are hoping to connect with other higher education institutes looking to do similar work)
