How do you work with content partnerships today?
今天做為案例的部分最主要的就是用GLAM代表：新樂園藝術空間、教育專案代表：成大歷史系以及政府合作：水利署wikidata合作案
More GLAM focus for TW, Art space, started last year. Organizing data about art and artists. Preparing for having to close down physical space by adding to virtual space. Helping TW government to add data about rivers and water to Wikidata.

What is your normal work process in collaborations with partners?
每個專案在細節上面不太相同，但是大架構都是先透過初步的會議確定雙方的合作意向，再逐步推進工作項目。
No tools used for the previous projects as they were not that big. Manual data upload was enough. Tools used for a previous project adding library data.

Are you having a work plan for new partnerships and collaborations?
有的，目前我們透過參加 g0v社群 、水利署定期會議等不同的社群平台，去尋找各種合作夥伴。 有些合作夥伴是舊有合作夥伴轉介紹，像是我們與中央大學的合作是由成功大學的教授轉介紹。
Each project is fairly different. Art space: First step was to get partner to “give up” dream of having everything added to Wikipedia. Moving on to getting data to Wikidata worked better. Working with uni course to build up trust and to have data added to Wikidata.

What are your desired content partnerships in the future?
在 GLAM 的部分核心在於推廣維基媒體的應用到台灣的 GLAM 機構。 在教育專案希望能夠結合學術機構發表一些「維基融入教學」的學術發表，推廣更多學術機構加入應用維基媒體作為教學。 政府合作方面，我們期待未來將更多如：wikidataqid 或是 wikimedia commons 的媒體資源能夠應用在政府開放資料或是納入規範之中。
Types of institutions: Gov or NGO. Have worked with Ministry of culture, some recommendations comes from them on further collaborations. Working with some indiginous languages groups. Already have a lot to do so not looking for further collaborations.

What are your needs for a successful partnership?
能夠成功合作的要素來自於成功案例或是理論基礎的展示，並且切合對方的需求。也就是我們在持續推進與現有合作單位的工作時，我們還需要更多人力投入去做過去的案例研究以及新工具的學習。
Most partnerships are gov. Some have asked for academic case studies in order to keep working. Good academic case studies would help in lifting the value of collaborations. Some collaborations need to be restarted with the help of academic papers and well written case studies. Some GLAMs does not consider Wikipedia a good partner, and are holding back content and collections. There are already a lot of community contributions and GLAM papers, but still lacking academic papers on the value of content partnerships.

What does the best support look like for a successful partnership?
雙方的互利共生，在水利署的合作中我們維基能夠協助他們去進行基礎資料的清理，而他們能夠在政府文件中去做 wikidataqid 的官方對照。維基這邊能夠獲得在政府機構的曝光與官方資料的支援，而水利署則能有人去做資料清理工作，並且透過wikidata他們也能獲得國際曝光。


  1. Wikidata Tools

Have not used tools that much, some are not useful, some data are too complicated and do not fit in the Wikidata models. Too much mapping needs to be done. Chinese grammar does not fit for automatic tools. Not only related to Wikimedia tools but also outside of the movement.

WMTW have incorporated CC TW and are promoting CC licenses. As museums are new the artwork is still under copyright, making it hard to release material.

Other questions or suggestions for persons who would be interested in discussing these issues?
我認為資訊落差是首先要克服要處理的事情，以台灣現在的狀況，大多數人只知道維基百科，並且他們也並沒有非常了解維基百科。他們只認為維基媒體只能提供維基百科這樣的服務。許多的合作單位原來可能透過對於維基百科的想像來找到我們，但是經過討論之後才發現他們的需求可能使用 wikidata、wikimedia commons 會是更好的選擇。 因此要去更加拓展可能的合作夥伴，更重要的是展現更加多元的合作模式與案例給大眾或是潛在的客戶知道，進一步去激發他們想要合作的想法。 我們目前手上合作案眾多，人力尚不足去將這塊補齊，未來會逐步去跟上這些部分。
Most TW people only know Wikipedia, and not other projects. “Wiki” means “Wikipedia”, making it hard to generate a greater understanding of the other Wikimedia projects.
