     @nemobis @wjmaggos We don't need an extension, but it would be very interesting to get #WikiBase onto the social web. I'm going to bug some people; maybe @nightrose ...?

     @wjmaggos @evan Do we need an ActivityPub extension for #Wikibase? Or is this a challenge on how to port the issues of discoverability of the fediverse to museum data? ;-)

     @nemobis @birb every wikidata item has a JSON-LD representation, like this: https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Special:EntityData/Q14530788.jsonld It would be interesting to massage it into shape to be an ActivityPub actor.

     @evan I mean a MediaWiki extension. Surely it doesn't belong in MediaWiki core. :)

     Every Wikidata item has an Atom feed, like https://www.wikidata.org/w/index.php?title=Q12418&feed=atom&action=history, but I can't seem to be able to get the #RSSparrot @birb to recognise it.

     @thisisaaronland I think this is it though.

     @evan we also haven’t automated AP account creation when an object is published yet / all the AP stuff has been left to “bake” for a while to see how it holds up and to make room for other things / but I hope to spend some more time with it soon

     @evan that object has not been published to the collection website yet / despite some perfectly reasonable “wait, but if…” questions / it does suggest that it should be possible to make a web finger-style query to an accession number though

     @thisisaaronland It would be cool if I could use one of those identification numbers at the bottom of the plaque for the ID, though. Are the ones used by the collection just incremental or something?

     @thisisaaronland Also I should be clear that I'm literally never going to go through SFO without spotlighting this work on my feed. Don't make cool things if you don't want attention!

     @samwilson @wjmaggos @1897196735

     It's a cool hack. Quit overthinking it.

     @wjmaggos @evan I don't really understand: each object in a collection gets its own fediverse account, e.g. @1897196735 — but how's that better than having a stable URL for something? I guess following a single collection item means you'd get updates about edits to its metadata or something? (Although an example in the article is that an aircraft will post about its flights.) It doesn't seem to make it easy to follow the conversation around an item or the whole collection (like a hashtag does).
