Enhancing the online discoverability of professional dance artists.

Wikidata in Dance Project

Information on the performing arts sector, including dancers, choreographers, and organizations, often lacks proper formatting for search engine visibility, leading to underutilization.

Make information about you and your work findable and accessible.

The Wikidata in Dance Project aims to enhance performing arts discoverability, bridging connections between arts workers and audiences in the digital age. By converting dispersed text data from the web into accessible formats like Wikidata and the Artsdata knowledge graph, this goal becomes achievable.

All CADA/West membership includes this service. Please get in touch if you wish to opt-out from this opportunity.

Benefits of member information linked and open:
  1. Improved findability and accessibility of information about you and your work.
  2. Enables control over what information about you is made available as open data.
  3. Integration with Artsdata knowledge graph and Wikidata.
  4. Enhances the ability to connect your member information with other relevant data.
  5. Facilitates automatic assembly of information about productions you contributed to or upcoming performances you are involved in.
The scope of Wikidata in Dance includes any information describing dance artists as it relates to their professional activities.
  1. First Name, Last Name
  2. Occupation
  3. Current work location (city, province)
  4. Official website link (if applicable)
