In addition to LCSH, LSNAF, MeSH, GND and VIAF, Wikidata is at least an another good source to enrich the bibliographic information.
ALMA currently adds URIs of 5 authoriities sources to enrich related bibliographic records. It is a good way for patrons to "crawl from one data description to another" if we push the information to Primo. Those 5 sources are good. However, information coming from Wikidata or Wikipedia seems nowadays to be more accessible and acceptable by the users. We suggest ALMA should add URIs of Wikidata (or the like) , so the users can retrieve more information on related entities.
Dear community,
As part of the linked data initiative, Alma supports info cards and contributor pages for name authorities displaying information from Wikidata. This feature has been implemented in the Metadata Editor in May 2024, and part of the linked data functionalities of the All Titles search which was released this December.
