And on the topics of #cultureheritage data and #wikibase at #MUDCon2025, our @tibosl colleague Lucia Sohmen presents our work and ongoing challenges using formal data models for cultural data in our service #Wikibase4Research, part of the @nfdi4culture service portfolio.

Lucia presented ideas on our current workarounds, but also what we see as crucially missing in current status quo, opening up the floor to discussions about future development & what #ECHOLOT might be able to offer.

@lozross @tibosl @nfdi4culture very insightful presentation, which ends with a much needed reminder: #Wikibase is primarily built for #Wikidata. It was not designed as a linked data CRM… to me, the question of whether it can be meaningfully adapted to this use case is still an open one.

@pintoch I think using Wikibase as the backend could be doable, but unless one builds another frontend, it would be very clunky to use it as a regular CRM.
