  1. I finally managed to write up some of the thoughts that went into contributing the bibliographic information on Arabic periodicals and their known holdings to #Wikidata. I have published a preprint to Zenodo: zenodo.org/records/14112648. Feel free to share and to comment under this post.

  2. I am excited to share some brief news on the recent progress we made in pushing bibliographic data on all #Arabic #Periodicals published before 1930 and their editors to #Wikidata: we did it!

    With a bit of SPARQL one can now browse our data set from projectjaraid.github.io/ as a graph (tinyurl.com/jaraid-graph), table (w.wiki/9rDP) or a map (w.wiki/9o3Z).

    More detailed descriptions of our effort will follow in the form of blog posts (and potentially a longer thread).

    Holding data beyond #HathiTrust, #OCLC and the German #ZDB have not been pushed yet.
