Why add content (all needs rewriting)[edit]

Structured Data on Wikimedia Commons benefits cultural heritage data: Wikimedia Commons files can be described with structured, machine-readable and multilingual metadata (Linked Open Data), structured copyright and attribution information, and rich APIs.

About Structured data and GLAM

Wikimedia platforms are fuelled with information that comes from Galleries, Libraries, Archives, and Museums. Every heritage institution in the world has a collection and knowledge waiting to be shared. Some information can be used in an encyclopedic way and some in a more structured format.

One of the ways to share this structured knowledge is through the information available within the items the institution already curated, fixed, and, in some cases, made available online in their databases. These items and their information can easily fit the Structured Data ecosystem, on Wikidata or on Commons, as Structured data on Commons (SDC).

Structured data on Commons is an opportunity for GLAMs to share their metadata, together with its media files, in a more interconnected way. Mainly because SDC makes the data more easily translatable, machine-readable, available for accessibility resources, and connected to other metadata from other files and institutions. Regarding the media files, SDC makes them more findable on Commons, mainly because of the MediaSearch, and more used in Wikipedia in several languages, thanks to the Structured Data Across Wikimedia project.

Get to know more about GLAMs and SDC in the header pages above. There is also a page about Structured data for GLAM-Wiki on Meta-Wiki.
