Wikidata is a proposed project to provide a colaboratively edited database to support Wikipedia. The project is being started by Wikimedia Deutschland. The project is intended to provide a common source of certain data, for example birth dates, that can be used in all other articles on wikipedia.[1] It will be the first new project of the Wikimedia Foundation since 2006.[2]

The creation of the project was funded by donations from the Allen Institute for Artificial Intelligence, the Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation, and Google, Inc., totaling € 1.3 million.[3][4]
