Mismatch Finder - Resolving Mismatches in Wikidata’s 100 Million Items

In 2023, Wikidata has more than 100 million data items. Even though the Wikidata community has grown rapidly over the past decade with many libraries linking and connecting to Wikidata, not many people know what to do when there are mismatches between their data and Wikidata’s. In this session, we will take a look at how Mismatch Finder plays an essential role for data re-users and how libraries can benefit from identifying these mismatches. The audience will also get to experience the power of Wikibase in other library Linked Open Data projects, with Wikidata sitting at the heart of the ecosystem.
