Hello everyone,
Thank you for joining and participating in today's call. Thank you very much to Jens Ohlig for talking about Wikibase and the German National Library's use of it with their Integrated Authority File (Gemeinsame Normdatei, GND). And thank you to Merrilee Proffitt for taking notes.
LD4-Wikidata Affinity Group Goals and Outcomes Draft: https://docs.google.com/
Before the next meeting on July 2nd, please take a look at the draft of our goals and outcomes for the group and make comments and suggestions. We'll finalize it at the next meeting. I also included a section for future call topics that were mentioned at our brainstorming session on the 21st. Feel free to add to these.

Hi Hilary, Jens and Lydia,
Brainstorming-wise, in addition the the 2 questions I asked you (to which UMN in a way expanded helpfully on my first one) these are the questions I asked directly to you in the Zoom video conference :
Hi Jens, May I please follow up with you about Wikibase, Wikidata and your response to my second question about all people in countries - re a key coding moment for wiki World University and School - and coding for wiki learners and teachers in each of all ~200 countries, and even planning for all 7.5 billion people and re possible Universal Basic Income experiments in many / most / all countries? Thanks so much, Scott
World Univ & Sch donated ourselves to Wikidata per Lydia for co-development in 2015, and have WUaS MediaWiki but our Wikidata and MediaWiki aren’t yet operable.
And further, wiki World University and School is exploring developing avatar bot electronic health records for all 7.5 billion people on the planet, conceptually, for our planned online Medical Schools - https://wiki.
World Univ & Sch is seeking to develop a matriculation / registration process for degree-seeking students in all ~200 countries' offiicial / main languages, and an "user name" approach for Universitian volunteers in each of all 7.111 known living languages -
https://wiki.
Thanks so much for your helpful and edifying Wikibase talk in the Wikidata Affinity Group.
(Ich habe ein Jahr lang vor vielen Jahren in Muenchen gewohnt, und kann deswegen Deutsch sprechen und verstehen. Vielen Dank, Jens, Lydia und Hilary).
Alles Gute, Scott

Dear Michael,
... I'd like to add to this that startup CC-4 MIT OpenCourseWare-centric wiki World University and School (of which I'm its president, founder, and a professor) is 'officially' a collaborator with Stanford Medicine's Stanford Center for Digital Health (Robert Harrington MD is its director), and is seeking for World University and School's Medical Schools, with online WUaS medical libraries, to emerge in ~200 countries' languages. Likewise, World University and School is also a collaborator with Stanford Law CodeX (Roland Vogl is its executive director, and a lecturer in the Stanford Law School) for our planned online Law Schools also in ~200 countries' languages, and also planning online law libraries in ~200 countries' official and main languages. (I'm including Mr. Philip Jelley, a Stanford graduate - for both BA and Law degrees - for reference here too). Hence World University and School is affiliated with Stanford in a number of ways. World University and School is also planning online libraries in each of all 7,111 known living languages, emerging from Wikidata / Wikibase structured knowledge database - hence my email introducing Mr. Klaus Ceynowa to Stanford librarian Ms. Hilary Thorsen, Stanford libraries' Wikimedian in Residence - re the open Wikidata Affinity Group. FYI, World University and School donated itself to Wikidata (as "back end") for co-development in 2015, which is in Wikipedia's 300 languages, and received this front end WUaS Miraheze MediaWiki - e.g. https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Library_Resources (of which there are about 725 wiki subject pages currently at WUaS, all not yet connected with Wikidata) - in 2017, and which WUaS is currently seeking to make interoperable, and for libraries, and also with regards to the Wikidata Affinity Group.
All of these developments will potentially benefit and even significantly grow Stanford Libraries especially.
While WUaS will seek not to use the " Stanford Libraries'" name, ... attending Stanford Libraries' events since these are remarkable networking opportunities emerging from Stanford's Mission -
"Research: Extend the frontiers of knowledge, stimulate creativity, and solve real-world problems
Education: Prepare students to think broadly, deeply and critically, and to contribute to the world
Service: Deploy Stanford’s strengths to benefit our region, country and world" (https://ourvision.stanford.edu/vision-initiatives/mission-values)
- and which Creative Commons' focused CC-4 MIT OCW-centric wiki World University and School shares (and which is also "educational, intellectual and commercial-free"), and seeks to extend in remarkable new ways.
Thank you.
Sincerely, Scott
