Wikidata

On the official Wikidata website, the collaborative knowledge base stores structured statements about entities, providing a shared data resource that readers and developers can explore through its records and supported tools.

Wikidata represents information as structured items and statements rather than as conventional encyclopaedia articles. The item being described, its properties and any supporting references are important context for understanding a result. It is useful for exploring identifiers and relationships, with the record's own definitions helping explain what a particular statement represents.

It is useful for investigating a term, subject or reference question. Its focus includes Structured knowledge, Linked data and Community editing, helping a visitor identify what kind of answer or source the service provides and where the original material needs to be read in context.
