Wikipedia + Wikidata
 The following is a draft, a rough estimate to create a
graphic, step-by-step help resource for newer users of
Wikidata
 Ideally this might be help text or some other more elegant
solution integrated into the User Interface of Wikidata

Authority Control
 What is Authority Control and why is so great?!?
 Authority Control is way to organize bibliographic
information about a person or entity
 It is used in galleries, libraries, archives, and museums all over
the world!
 Wikipedia and Wikidata incorporate this information as a way
to distinguish between a person or entity
 The information increases the usability of the data and is
easily translatable into the semantic backbone of Wikimedia
projects

these duplicates, which get fixed: Constraint violations
 Continue adding statements
 i.e., P31 ("instance of") => Q5 ("human")
