Wikidata is the evolution of Wikipedia towards a modern structured data system that has gained popularity with numerous cultural, heritage, and scientific institutions around the world to interconnect their holdings and bring new interactive capabilities to their collections data. This workshop provides a practical guide to how Wikidata works, the ways museums and libraries can immediately work with it, and a participatory demonstration of its powerful linked open data and visualization tools. Practical case studies from The Met Museum and the Smithsonian Institution, among others, will be shown while walking attendees through the various stages of contribution, collaboration, and co-creation with Wikidata.
