  Ok folks do you have any suggestions for papers that used #wikidata and #entomology collection data? I’m thinking not just collector data or citation data - though also gratefully received - but trait data, other identifier linking etc.

  I've been working on data models for #Wikidata type specimen items & structured data for #WikimediaCommons specimen images. This is part of my Wikimedian in Residence & is a collaboration with Brodie Satherley from Auckland Museum.
