Connecting libraries, archives and museums through Wikidata, reusable metadata and digital collections.

At a glance

Christian Erlinger is an Austrian librarian and a repository manager for ZentralGut, the digital cultural heritage platform of the Zentral- und Hochschulbibliothek Luzern. Through LibrErli, he also works with libraries, archives and museums on repositories, metadata, open-source software and training.

His work connects cultural collections with the Wikimedia projects. In Die Datenlaube, he and Jens Bemme use Wikidata to describe articles transcribed in Wikisource, making historic material easier to connect and explore. His workshops bring that approach into practice, from OpenRefine and metadata processing to collaborative work with Wikidata.
