Presenting the OpenLibrary <> Wikidata Integration at Data Reuse Days 2025

I was invited to speak at Data Reuse Days 2025 and presented on February 27th. My talk was titled "169k Reasons to Care: Wikidata’s Role in Open Library Author Pages." I was finally inspired to post about it after visiting Orlando Code Camp.

Because I was preparing for a move at the time, I submitted a pre-recorded video instead of presenting live. This turned out to be fortunate, as I encountered some technical difficulties during the live Q&A portion – Jitsi indicated my microphone was active when it was actually muted!

Despite that small hiccup, I feel the presentation was successful. I was able to answer several questions and hopefully encouraged some attendees to check out Open Library.
