Description: Wikidocumentaries is a website that anyone can use to navigate Wikimedia content in a visual way. It brings together data, images and texts related to any topic based on connections through Wikidata. Materials from connected external media repositories are displayed together with Wikimedia content, and they can be showcased in many ways, for example as photo collections, maps and graphs. We invite collaboration to integrate Wikidocumentaries with other Wikimedia and GLAM projects. For some years already, Wikidocumentaries displays upload banners on pages about items in the Finnish and the Indian Wiki Loves Monuments contests. This practice requires that the cultural heritage designations have been added to Wikidata. This year we have worked with Structured Data on Commons as part of the Google Summer of Code program. Wikidocumentaries now makes it possible for anyone to select and upload suitable images from external media repositories to Wikimedia Commons. The workflow places the image in the correct Commons category and adds some basic Structured Data on Commons statements. This functionality was implemented by our GSoC intern Zexi Gong and it integrates with the Finnish national aggregator Finna. The workflow can be extended to more cultural heritage repositories with public APIs. Faceted browsing and filtering of Commons images based on SDC statements was enabled by Tuukka Hastrup. Wikidocumentaries started with the aim to also serve knowledge from the margins. Such information isn’t always in the scope of the more established Wikimedia projects, but Wikidocumentaries can fetch such data from other Wikibases in addition to Wikidata and visualize all the data together. This gives e.g. heritage communities an opportunity to overlay and aggregate their data with that of Wikimedia projects. One direction planned with our partners is to develop and deploy password-protected Wikibases that would allow a heritage community to share or protect assets at will. We wish to propose Wikidocumentaries as a platform for collaborative reuse scenarios. With that in mind, we invite the participants to identify potential opportunities for collaboration as well as blocker issues. This is also an opportunity to discuss media reuse scenarios within the Wikimedia projects more generally. Meta page: Wikidocumentaries		Experience level: Intermediate
