The Wikimedia Foundation

The Wikimedia Foundation is an international organisation that provides the essential infrastructure for free knowledge. The organisation runs various projects, of which the online encyclopedia Wikipedia is best known.

Kennisland advised the Wikimedia Foundation on the (re)use of GLAM-data. In this case we focused on the data about the usage of collections on Wikipedia. Out of our research emerged a toolset which enables heritage institutions to place digitised cultural objects in the Wikimedia Commons image bank more easily.
