Wikidata: The Next Big Thing for Wikipedia
Wikidata: The Next Big Thing for Wikipedia
Abstract. Wikidata is a new Wikimedia project that will provide an infrastructure to store and access structured data for use in Wikipedia articles, similar to the way that Wikimedia Commons stores
and provides public access to multimedia files today. To achieve this, Wikidata must become one of the largest collections of human-authored
structured information, freely available on the Web. Wikidata will be based on technologies pioneered in Semantic MediaWiki, and will
support Web standards for open information exchange. This talk gives an overview of the project, explains design choices, and discusses its
impact on the Semantic Web.
