#zdb — Public Fediverse posts

Live and recent posts from across the Fediverse tagged #zdb, aggregated by home.social.

  1. Is there a reason for @bsbmuenchen not sharing the #GoogleBooks URLs for works in their collections and scanned by Google through #ZDB and other aggregators?

    See for example the Arabic magazine التوفيق from Cairo (wikidata.org/wiki/Q124970787):

    - ZDB: zdb-katalog.de/title.xhtml?idn
    - Scans on Google Books: google.de/books/edition/at_Tau

    @awinkler, do you happen to have any insights in this matter?

  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.

  3. Eine Bauministerin, vier Maurer, Fliesenleger und Zimmerer von Weltklasse – Klara #Geywitz traf beim Festakt zu 125 Jahren #ZDB das deutsche Nationalteam #Baugewerbe: „Ihr seid #Vorbilder für viele junge Menschen, die sich gerade die Frage stellen, was sie aus ihrem Leben machen.“ (1/3)
