Wikidata is a free and open knowledge base that can be read and edited by both humans and machines. Launched in 2012, Wikidata acts as central storage for the structured data of its Wikimedia sister projects including Wikipedia, Wikivoyage, Wiktionary, Wikisource, and others.
You can get started by visiting Wikidata here: wikidata.org
Events related to Wikidata can be found on our Events page. We also run an annual Wikidata Fellowship to curate a data set, develop a prototype or undertake an investigation using Wikidata.
