Motivation

[edit]

Looking to increase the amount of open data available about ships built in Aberdeen. As a WikiMedia UK Trainer in Scotland, I have been working with volunteers and staff of the Aberdeen Galleries and Museums Service to begin this work at the event on 11th and 12th April 2020. There we created a scraper, with permission, to begin harvesting data from their database. We are carrying out data matching and will soon be in a position to upload 1000s of records via Quick Statements, and to enhance other WikiData records with additional properties. We now need a means of linking to identified items in the Built Ships website.Watty62 (talk) 14:44, 16 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
