生物多樣性歷史文獻圖書館（BHL，Biodiversity Heritage Library）持續深化與 Wikidata 的整合，每季定期擷取並更新資料。2025 年 8 月的更新中，BHL 新增逾五萬筆作者項目與一萬筆出版品項目，涵蓋識別碼、關聯資料與語意結構，進一步強化其資料庫的開放性與可查詢性。這項作業不僅提升 BHL 與維基生態系的互通性，也為生物多樣性研究社群提供更完整、可重用的知識網絡。

印尼維基媒體協會在 2025 年「GLAM-Wiki 月」期間，透過 Wikidata 平台保存印尼的畫廊、圖書館、檔案館與博物館（GLAM）所擁有的資料。在為期一個月的活動中，結合了工作坊、編輯松與講座，希望提升公眾對文化資產數位保存的認識與參與。

活動主辦者提及 Wikidata 雖然對初學者來說略顯複雜，透過設計友善的入門工作坊，參與者能夠學習如何為印尼的博物館建立與編輯資料項目，並理解其結構與語法。這些資料不僅提升了文化資產的可見度，也為未來的研究與教育提供了可重用的基礎。

此外，編輯松活動中，參與者針對印尼視覺藝術、手稿與博物館等多元主題，在 Wikidata 中編輯了數百筆資料；甚至將原本僅存在於政府目錄中的畫作，轉化為 Wikidata 上可查詢的條目。這不只是資料的轉錄，更是文化記憶的數位重建。

然而，技術門檻、資料來源的缺失與鏈結性不足，他們希望能推動更多進階的 SPARQL 查詢與資料視覺化訓練，讓 GLAM 機構不只是資料的提供者，更成為數位文化敘事的主角。這系列文化與科技交織的行動，讓我們看見了開放資料如何成為保存與傳承文化資產的力量。

Avslutade arbetsdagen med att ladda upp predikningar på sk sydlapskt bokspråk till Wikimedia Commons. Innehållet i predikningarna kan jag inte läsa. Men det går att dra in PDF:en i Wikisource för den som vill och kan!

Predikningarna är skrivna av missionären Karl Ludvig Tellström och är från 1835 eller några år senare. Passade på att skapa ett Wikidataobjekt för honom.

Where in the world is the fortress San Gian?

We just uploaded this 17th century map of a fortress called San Gian, https://commons.m.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:0010_San_Gian.jpg

I can't find the modern equivalent. Could it perhaps be Castillo San Cristobal in Puerto Rico?

The map is part of an Atlas of places that were part of the Spanish Empire or where it has interests. And I assume San Gian is an older spelling of San Juan.

Help and boosts appreciated!

Very interesting mass upload and, specifically, re-upload project to Wikimedia Commons by Wikimedia Finland, https://outreach.m.wikimedia.org/wiki/GLAM/Newsletter/January_2024/Contents/Finland_report

Apart from re-uploading images now available in higher quality, upgrading strings to linked data things, and fixing broken identifiers I find the use of perceptual hashes to identify duplicates especially interesting.

I think the use of perceptual hashes will increase as the need for ensuring authenticity of media files grows.

added a blog post with context: https://aron.ambrosiani.se/2023/11/11/apple-cultivars-on-wikimedia-commons/ #GLAMwiki #openGLAM

Back in the fall of 2014, I had just started working as a digital media producer at the Nordic Museum. My colleagues were well underway making an app about apple cultivars in Sweden. Both me and my new colleagues had (limited) experience of uploading images to Wikimedia Commons, and we figured that photos of apple cultivars might be a useful contribution.

After the annual “apple festival” at the museum, we grabbed the cultivars that were still decent-looking after a two days on display in the Nordic Museum main hall and photographed them in decent lighting. We then uploaded them to Wikimedia Commons and added as much metadata as possible. The photos, as many others on Wikimedia Commons, are not perfect – the resolution isn’t great, the apples themselves have lost their shimmer after a few days inside, the selection of cultivars was very ad-hoc – but the images are easily findable, available for download and come with very few usage restrictions (a CC BY-SA 4.0 license to be specific).

I recently participated in a workshop arranged by Wikimedia Sverige, and realized I should check in on the photos to see how they have been utilized over the years. I added some photos to a few Wikipedia pages soon after uploading them. I also knew (because they contacted me) that the Swedish research funder Knut & Alice Wallenberg Foundation had used one of the photos in their 2017 centennial anniversity volume (since the apple Alice is named after Alice Wallenberg), but had anyone else used the photos?

The short answer: yes. The photos are now used 120 times across the Wikimedia (mainly Wikipedia) platforms. More than 80 Wikipedia articles – in 18 different languages – use one or more photos from this collection. Complete stats can be viewed using Magnus Manske’s tool Glamorous.

Counting image views on Wikipedia is a tricky task. The tool Glamorgan (also by Manske) counts each page view that contains an image (regardless of whether the user actually has the image in the viewport). For a selection of images, it also multiplies the page views if there’s more than one image on the page – i.e. the page “Apple” on English language Wikipedia is counted four times because it contains four of the images.

Anyway, with these caveats, according to Glamorgan the apple photos were viewed a total of 750,000 times just last month (with half of those hits coming from the English page “Apple”). Counting each pageview only once, it still adds up to 180,000 pageviews during October 2023 alone.

What’s the lesson learned here? Most museums make big batch uploads to Wikimedia Commons, not spending much thought to how the images might be used (I’m guilty of this myself, leading to some complaints on Commons after we swamped some clothing categories with object photos from the Nordic Museum, drowning out other images). Lowering the “signal to noise ratio” by only uploading images we actually think have a decent chance to be used is a more precise way to work in tandem with Wikimedia Commons & Wikipedia volunteers.

At the very least, hand-picking a smaller set of photos for uploading means there is time left to actually work with the metadata. Lacking metadata is in my view the largest hurdle to overcome for sharing museum collections on Wikimedia Commons – a large pile of uncategorized images simply do not provide value for the volunteers.

What do you think? Are large batch uploads still the best way to increase the reach of museum collections in the Wikimedia community? Should we vary our methods depending on the type of images? Do you have examples of other small sets of uploads making an impact on Wikipedia? Let me know in the comments!

ok, one more wiki anecdote from today’s workshop – in 2014 me & colleagues at the Nordic Museum photographed 31 Swedish apple cultivars and uploaded to Wikimedia Commons. These images are nowadays used in 120 different articles across Wikipedia and were viewed 700 000 times last month. Free knowledge for the win! #GLAMwiki #openGLAM

Can museums combine open access policies with income generation? How do they do this, and what matters more to their public missions? 🤔

I'm preparing a keynote on this topic and have some examples of my own, but I'd love to hear your thoughts, experiences and inspirations. So if you have something to share, please do! 🙏
