- We added SDC statements to about 1,000 photos from the UNESCO Archives.
- Enriching valuable material with SDC enables users to find it more easily, as well as gain additional insight about it.

Results
editThe following visualisation shows the results of this work, plotting the geographical location of the photos that contain the statement collection (P195) UNESCO Archives (Q106492651). This property provides an easy way of identifying files shared by a GLAM institution, even if they were uploaded by different users and organized in several categories. Querying for them is much more flexible than relying on the category system, as users uploading files independently might not be aware of existing category structures, leading to the photos being "invisible" to those who wish to explore the entirety of a GLAM's contribution to Wikimedia Commons.
