Integrated Authority File: GND meets Wikibase

The GND (Integrated Authority File / Gemeinsame Normdatei) is the largest authority data collection for cultural and research data in German-speaking countries. In November 2020, the German National Library (DNB) published the WikiLibrary Manifesto together with Wikimedia Germany. The aim is to promote the expansion of a semantic network for data from culture and science by improving and standardizing Wikibase for use by institutions. The project and the manifesto were presented in detail by Barbara Fischer at the Sharing is Caring 2021 Conference and earlier in this blog post.
