ABSTRACT
This chapter will examine how popular digital information resources, such as Wikipedia or Wikidata, impact the discoverability of digital repositories through a case study. It will consider how digital repository content can support web-based resources, and the impact that exposure to popular websites can have on digital content discoverability and usage. It will also provide information on how practitioners can successfully integrate their digital content with Wikipedia/Wikidata. It will explore the following questions:
What does integrating content into Wikipedia look like?
What benefits does a digital repository gain by integrating content into Wikipedia?
How does this impact the discoverability of digital items, or exposure to other digital collections in a repository?
How do practitioners decide if integrating their content into Wikipedia is worthwhile?
How do practitioners get involved in this process?
What skills and knowledge do practitioners need to work on this process?
