  • KurzfassungAbstract
    Wikidata is the collaboratively curated knowledge graph of the Wikimedia Foundation (WMF), and the core project of Wikimedia’s data management strategy. A major challenge for bringing Wikidata to its full potential was to provide reliable and powerful services for data sharing and query, and the WMF has chosen to rely on semantic technologies for this purpose. A live SPARQL endpoint, regular RDF dumps, and linked data APIs are now forming the backbone of many uses of Wikidata. We describe this influential use case and its underlying infrastructure, analyse current usage, and share our lessons learned and future plans.
  • Bemerkung: Note: The data used in this publication is available in the form of anonymised Wikidata SPARQL query logs. There are some minor discrepancies in the counts due to small changes in the pre-processing done on the logs that were eventually published. The paper has won the Best Paper Award in the In-Use Track of ISWC 2018.
