Wikidata je nov projekat Wikimedia Fondacije: slobodna, saradnička, višejezička pomoćna baza podataka, koja prikuplja strukturisane podatke za podršku Wikipediji, Commonsu i drugimHelp:Wikimedia Wikimedijinim projektima, i više od toga.
Šta to znači?
Hajde da detaljnije analiziramo uvodnu izjavu:
- Slobodan. Podaci na Wikidati objavljuju se pod slobodnom licencom, što omogućava njihovu prenamenu u mnogim različitim situacijama.
- Sarađujući. Podatke na Wikidati unose i održavaju urednici, koji odlučuju o pravilima za pravljenje sadržaja Wikidate.
- Višejezičan. Uređivanje, upotreba, pregledanje i prenamena sadržaja dostupna je na više jezika. Podaci uneti na jednom jeziku odmah će biti dostupni na svim drugim jezicima; uređivanje na bilo kom jeziku veoma se preporučuje.
- Pomoćna baza podataka. Wikidata ne čuva samo iskaze, već i njihove izvore. Ovaj projekat time odražava raznolikost raspoloživog znanja i zastupa proverljivost.
- Prikupljanje strukturisanih podataka. Za razliku od Wikimedia Commonsa, koja sadrži medijske datoteke, i Wikipedijanaca, koji pišu enciklopedijske članke, Wikidata sadrži podatke u strukturisanom obliku. Ovo omogućava njihovu lakšu upotrebu i prenamenu na Wikimedijinim projektima i trećim mestima. Isto tako omogućava računarima da ih lakše obrade i „razumeju“.
- Podrška za Wikimedijine projekte. Jedan od prvih ciljeva Wikidate je pružanje podrške na Wikipediji sa više održivih jezičkih veza i infokutija, tako smanjujući obim posla na Wikipediji i povećavajući njen kvalitet.
- Podrška na mnogim drugim mestima. Svako će moći da koristi Wikidatu za veliki broj različitih usluga.
How does Wikidata work?
Wikidata is a central storage repository that can be accessed by others, such as the wikis maintained by the Wikimedia Foundation. Content loaded dynamically from Wikidata does not need to be maintained in each individual wiki project. For example, statistics, dates, locations, and other common data can be centralized in Wikidata.
The Wikidata repository
The Wikidata repository consists mainly of items, each one having a label, a description and any number of aliases. Items are uniquely identified by a Q followed by a number, such as Douglas Adams (Q42).
Statements describe detailed characteristics of an Item and consist of a property and a value. Properties in Wikidata have a P followed by a number, such as with educated at (P69).
For a person, you can add a property to specify where they were educated, by specifying a value for a school. For buildings, you can assign geographic coordinates properties by specifying longitude and latitude values. Properties can also link to external databases. A property that links an item to an external database, such as an authority control database used by libraries and archives, is called an identifier. Special Sitelinks connect an item to corresponding content on client wikis, such as Wikipedia, Wikibooks or Wikiquote.
All this information can be displayed in any language, even if the data originated in a different language. When accessing these values, client wikis will show the most up-to-date data.
| Item | Property | Value |
|---|---|---|
| Q42 | P69 | Q691283 |
| Douglas Adams | educated at | St John's College |
Working with Wikidata
There are a number of ways to access Wikidata using built-in tools, external tools, or programming interfaces.
- Wikidata Query and Reasonator are some of the popular tools to search for and examine Wikidata items. The tools page has an extensive list of interesting projects to explore.
- You can retrieve all data programmatically using different APIs and service.
- Client wikis can access data for their pages using a Lua Scribunto interface.
Where to get started
The Wikidata tours, designed for new users, are the best place to learn more about Wikidata.
Some links to get started:
- Set your user options, especially the 'Babel' extension, to choose your language preferences
- Help with missing labels and descriptions
- Help with interwiki conflicts and constraint violations
- Improve a random item
- Help translating
