1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:15,473 *rC3 Wikipaka intro music* 2 00:00:15,473 --> 00:00:20,560 Léa: Hi, everyone, I'm Léa. Here's Mohammed, and we're going to introduce you 3 00:00:20,560 --> 00:00:30,537 to Wikidata today. Mohammed: Yes, hi everyone. So in the 4 00:00:30,537 --> 00:00:34,772 course of the talk, if you do have a question, just feel free to ask them in a 5 00:00:34,772 --> 00:00:40,708 chat. And then we are going to try and answer them at the end of the talk. Yes. 6 00:00:40,708 --> 00:00:47,912 So let's dive straight in. What is Wikidata? Wikidata is a free knowledge 7 00:00:47,912 --> 00:00:54,760 base that is based on facts and references that anyone can edit and reuse. It is part 8 00:00:54,760 --> 00:00:59,539 of the Wikimedia projects. And like all of us, to start open projects, Wikipedia is 9 00:00:59,539 --> 00:01:06,348 multilingual and has no language barriers. Data in Wikidata is released under CC0 10 00:01:06,348 --> 00:01:11,616 license. That means Wikidata's data is in the public domain and it has no exclusive 11 00:01:11,616 --> 00:01:17,755 intellectual property rights that is applied to it. Wikidata is not a primary 12 00:01:17,755 --> 00:01:23,512 source of information. It only aggregates or collects structured data that is 13 00:01:23,512 --> 00:01:29,161 already available, some of which are links to other databases. So it is not meant to 14 00:01:29,161 --> 00:01:34,779 be a place for original research. Wikidata is made for humans and machines, and is 15 00:01:34,779 --> 00:01:41,032 available for everyone to use, whether on other Wikimedia projects or outside of it. 16 00:01:41,032 --> 00:01:51,165 Next slide. So what is in the Wikidata? Wikidata was launched some eight years ago 17 00:01:51,165 --> 00:01:57,013 and was originally created to solve the problem of unstructuredness in the plain 18 00:01:57,013 --> 00:02:01,590 text format that information in Wikipedia is rendered in, and also to provide a 19 00:02:01,590 --> 00:02:06,945 central storage location where all of the different language Wikipedias can connect 20 00:02:06,945 --> 00:02:11,821 and talk to each other. Today, Wikidata has since outgrown its intended purpose 21 00:02:11,821 --> 00:02:18,323 and has become so big and successful that it is not only, you know, the most edited 22 00:02:18,323 --> 00:02:24,540 Wikimedia projects, Wikidata's data is now used more outside of the Wikimedia project than 23 00:02:24,540 --> 00:02:31,520 within it. There are more than 25,000 active editors. That means people who make 24 00:02:31,520 --> 00:02:38,044 at least one edit every month. Wikidata is used across 800+ Wikimedia projects in 25 00:02:38,044 --> 00:02:43,001 more than 300 languages. And it's interesting to note that the largest 26 00:02:43,001 --> 00:02:48,124 proportion of Wikidata's items are in the category of scholarly items comprising 27 00:02:48,124 --> 00:03:00,064 about 30% of the whole. Next slide. So far, people and bots have made more than 28 00:03:00,064 --> 00:03:06,777 1.3 billion edits to Wikidata and created more than 91 million items. This map you 29 00:03:06,777 --> 00:03:11,817 see here is a visual impression of geolocated items currently existing on 30 00:03:11,817 --> 00:03:18,539 Wikidata. So, the bright areas are items that have coordinates, location property 31 00:03:18,539 --> 00:03:29,920 added as a statement. Next slide. So Wikidata has a vision, and what is this 32 00:03:29,920 --> 00:03:37,600 vision? Wikidata's vision is to give more people more access to more knowledge. So 33 00:03:37,600 --> 00:03:42,080 Wikidata gives access to information, regardless of the language that people 34 00:03:42,080 --> 00:03:49,040 speak, because Wikidata is multilingual, it expects translations of so-called Q 35 00:03:49,040 --> 00:03:54,000 numbers into different languages. And so doing Wikidata helps us support the 36 00:03:54,000 --> 00:04:00,000 smaller Wikimedia projects better, you know, by helping them to benefit from all 37 00:04:00,000 --> 00:04:04,240 of the work that the bigger projects are doing. And applications and projects 38 00:04:04,240 --> 00:04:08,080 outside of Wikimedia are also able to benefit from the rich datasets in 39 00:04:08,080 --> 00:04:15,600 Wikidata. So in a nutshell, Wikidata can be thought of as an online repository of 40 00:04:15,600 --> 00:04:25,025 structured data that anyone can edit and reuse. Next slide. OK, now, how is 41 00:04:25,025 --> 00:04:30,487 Wikidata connected to Wikipedia and other Wikimedia projects? Among other things, 42 00:04:30,487 --> 00:04:35,800 Wikidata can assist sister projects with more easily maintainable infoboxes. 43 00:04:35,800 --> 00:04:41,038 So the table at the right corner of this article on Wikipedia is called an infobox, 44 00:04:41,038 --> 00:04:45,668 which I'm sure you've seen before, and Wikidata is able to retrieve content on 45 00:04:45,668 --> 00:04:55,803 Wikidata into those infoboxes [distorted]. And for smaller language Wikipedias like, 46 00:04:55,803 --> 00:05:02,756 you know, Catalan Wikipedia or Welsh Wikipedia that, that readily leverages 47 00:05:02,756 --> 00:05:08,880 Wikidata to see their content. And it is helpful because it's, it helps to reduce 48 00:05:08,880 --> 00:05:19,235 editing workload for volunteers. Next slide. So what should we expect to see on 49 00:05:19,235 --> 00:05:26,240 a typical Wikidata item? Wikidata expresses relationships in the form of 50 00:05:26,240 --> 00:05:35,760 triples that use items starting with "Q" and property starting with "P", OK, and 51 00:05:35,760 --> 00:05:40,720 the item will typically be made up of at least one statement. So in this example 52 00:05:40,720 --> 00:05:44,960 you see on the screen we have two statements about an entity called Douglas 53 00:05:44,960 --> 00:05:53,680 Adams. The first statement, Douglas Adams was educated at P69 St John's College. 54 00:05:54,720 --> 00:05:59,440 What this means is that this statement is qualified by further properties. That is 55 00:05:59,440 --> 00:06:06,320 the academic major, academic degree, the start time and then the end time and 56 00:06:06,320 --> 00:06:13,040 qualifiers add more meaning to statements. So Wikidata records not just statements, 57 00:06:13,040 --> 00:06:19,200 but also their sources. And as you can see here, this helps us to reflect the notion 58 00:06:19,200 --> 00:06:26,320 of verifiability on the project so that statements Douglas Adams was educated at 59 00:06:26,320 --> 00:06:31,440 St. John's College has two open references that points to the source of that 60 00:06:31,440 --> 00:06:38,640 information. And the second statement, Douglas Adams, Q42, was educated at P69, 61 00:06:38,640 --> 00:06:46,800 Brentwood School, only has the qualifiers start time and end time, and it has no 62 00:06:46,800 --> 00:06:53,120 references, so a single statement consists of a property that is made up of a value 63 00:06:53,680 --> 00:07:07,200 with or without a reference or with or without qualifiers. Next slide. So a 64 00:07:07,200 --> 00:07:12,000 typical Wikidata item looks like this, and you can edit by clicking on the edit 65 00:07:12,000 --> 00:07:17,520 button, it has this pen symbol with edit next to it. As you can see, each item has 66 00:07:17,520 --> 00:07:23,520 a unique ID that is Q followed by some number. In this case, the item Douglas 67 00:07:23,520 --> 00:07:32,240 Adams has QID of Q42. And when you look at the top, there's a termbox. We call it, we 68 00:07:32,240 --> 00:07:36,960 call it the termbox at the top, at the top, that contains the label in different 69 00:07:36,960 --> 00:07:43,680 languages. A description of the items that is more of a short phrase telling us what 70 00:07:43,680 --> 00:07:48,480 the item represents. It's says here in English that Douglas Adams is an English 71 00:07:48,480 --> 00:07:53,760 writer and humorist. Then there is the alias next to the description which, aside 72 00:07:53,760 --> 00:08:01,340 from the label, tells us what the item could also be known by here. Next slide. 73 00:08:05,040 --> 00:08:13,564 So, creating a new item is as simple as going to any page on Wikidata and clicking 74 00:08:13,564 --> 00:08:20,555 on create a new item. And once you click on create a new item, you get to fill in 75 00:08:20,555 --> 00:08:26,052 the form that is asking for a label, description and an alias and QIDs are 76 00:08:26,052 --> 00:08:51,303 assigned automatically. Next slide. Next slide. Next slide, please. Alright, so 77 00:08:51,303 --> 00:08:57,168 there are tools that allow us to edit Wikidata more efficiently and make bulk 78 00:08:57,168 --> 00:09:06,447 edits to Wikidata, such as Quick Statements and OpenRefine. Please go to 79 00:09:06,447 --> 00:09:19,840 the previous slide. OK, yeah, right, so, yeah, Quick Statements and OpenRefine 80 00:09:19,840 --> 00:09:26,000 allow us to make automated edits and changes to Wikidata. Other tools are 81 00:09:26,000 --> 00:09:31,600 available that allow us to visualize Wikidata's data. Some of them enhances the 82 00:09:31,600 --> 00:09:36,720 user interface of Wikidata, and these could include scripts that editors can 83 00:09:36,720 --> 00:09:41,200 install or they could be gadgets that may be enabled in your preferences settings. 84 00:09:41,840 --> 00:09:55,680 Next slide. Léa: Alright. So, um, so far, Mohammed 85 00:09:55,680 --> 00:10:02,080 told you about how we describe concepts in Wikidata, and that's what we've been doing 86 00:10:02,080 --> 00:10:09,360 for the first years of the project, but in 2018, we also started storing a new type 87 00:10:09,360 --> 00:10:14,720 of information in Wikidata, which is lexicographical data, which is basically 88 00:10:14,720 --> 00:10:23,200 information about words and phrases in all kinds of languages. And so you see on the 89 00:10:23,200 --> 00:10:28,240 left the data model that is a bit complex and that's why I'm not going to get too 90 00:10:28,240 --> 00:10:32,240 much into details now but we can talk about this later. And you can see an 91 00:10:32,240 --> 00:10:37,840 example on the right where we basically describe the word "Luftballon" in German 92 00:10:37,840 --> 00:10:42,400 and we indicate the language, the lexical category and all kind of informations that 93 00:10:42,400 --> 00:10:46,880 are not about the object any more, but actually about the word and how it's 94 00:10:46,880 --> 00:10:56,050 composed of two words, as we like to do in German and things like this. So, again, if 95 00:10:56,050 --> 00:10:59,850 you want to know more about this, you can have a look at lexicographical data in 96 00:10:59,850 --> 00:11:08,160 Wikidata or we can talk about it together later in the questions, for example. So 97 00:11:08,160 --> 00:11:14,080 Wikidata doesn't come alone, it comes with a bunch of tools that have been, some of 98 00:11:14,080 --> 00:11:17,440 them have been developed by the development team of Wikidata, some of them 99 00:11:17,440 --> 00:11:22,000 have been developed by the community themselves in order to do things more 100 00:11:22,000 --> 00:11:26,720 efficiently. That can be, for example, adding data and some of the tools have 101 00:11:26,720 --> 00:11:31,280 already been mentioned by Mohammed, that can also be matching data with other 102 00:11:31,280 --> 00:11:36,640 databases, querying the data, reusing the data. There are also a bunch of tools that 103 00:11:36,640 --> 00:11:43,440 are about watching the data and watching its quality, watching what edits have been 104 00:11:43,440 --> 00:11:48,320 done recently and so on. And you can find the page that is called Wikidata Tools on 105 00:11:48,320 --> 00:11:55,840 Wikidata to discover plenty of these tools and you can, of course, create your own. 106 00:11:58,520 --> 00:12:03,920 So we mentioned that the goal of Wikidata is to be reused by everyone, but you may 107 00:12:03,920 --> 00:12:10,320 wonder who is actually reusing the data. Well, the first reusers of Wikidata's data 108 00:12:10,320 --> 00:12:16,160 is actually the Wikidata community itself, the Wikidata editors, because all of these 109 00:12:16,160 --> 00:12:22,480 items are connected. So one item can be linked from another, the content of one 110 00:12:22,480 --> 00:12:28,400 item can be reused on another and so on. The Wikimedia project such as Wikipedia, 111 00:12:28,400 --> 00:12:33,440 but not only. Wikimedia Commons, Wikisource, almost all of the Wikimedia 112 00:12:33,440 --> 00:12:39,840 projects at that point reuse part of the data that is coming from Wikidata, and 113 00:12:39,840 --> 00:12:49,040 then we have companies, from the biggest ones to the small ones because the data is 114 00:12:49,040 --> 00:12:55,440 in CC0 everyone can just reuse the content that they need. We have, of course, public 115 00:12:55,440 --> 00:13:01,840 institutions such as museums, libraries and so on. We also have journalists and, 116 00:13:01,840 --> 00:13:07,600 for example, data journalists. We have scientists and researchers and probably 117 00:13:07,600 --> 00:13:11,680 much more. And the thing is that we don't necessarily know who's reusing the data 118 00:13:11,680 --> 00:13:16,800 because it's here in the open but there are probably many usages that we don't 119 00:13:16,800 --> 00:13:21,200 even imagine. So if you're using Wikidata, or if you would like to use Wikidata's 120 00:13:21,200 --> 00:13:27,276 data, let us know, because we are always interested to discover more. Now, the 121 00:13:27,276 --> 00:13:33,868 question is: How can one reuse Wikidata? I'm going to present very quickly one of 122 00:13:33,868 --> 00:13:38,284 the most popular way to query the data. I'm not going to get into details right 123 00:13:38,284 --> 00:13:44,580 now because there will actually be a workshop at the conference in two days on 124 00:13:44,580 --> 00:13:49,842 day three about the query service so I'm gonna let you go there and discover more 125 00:13:49,842 --> 00:13:55,876 about how to use it. The query service is basically a SPARQL endpoint, SPARQL being 126 00:13:55,876 --> 00:14:02,487 a query language where you can basically ask questions to Wikidata and get lists or 127 00:14:02,487 --> 00:14:08,510 visualizations as a result. For example, here's the map of the airports of the 128 00:14:08,510 --> 00:14:15,844 world named after the person and the color of the dot, it represent the gender of the 129 00:14:15,844 --> 00:14:23,912 person. Or you can make a list of country flags that are including a sun, because if 130 00:14:23,912 --> 00:14:28,728 the data is properly modeled in Wikidata, you're able to describe, what are the 131 00:14:28,728 --> 00:14:37,520 different elements that compose a country flag? Or you can have this bubble charts 132 00:14:37,520 --> 00:14:44,225 with the occupation of accused witches, because why not? That's the kind of data 133 00:14:44,225 --> 00:14:51,520 we have in Wikidata. Now, there are other ways, of course, to query the data, I'm 134 00:14:51,520 --> 00:14:55,200 not going to get into details right now, but if you want to talk more about this, 135 00:14:55,200 --> 00:15:00,720 you can, for example, join the Wikidata meetups that are gonna happen tomorrow. We 136 00:15:01,440 --> 00:15:07,120 have dumps of the data where you can download part of or all of the data in a 137 00:15:07,120 --> 00:15:12,640 file. We have a bunch of APIs to access the data directly from your program. And 138 00:15:12,640 --> 00:15:17,920 on a Wikimedia project specifically, the community developed a bunch of templates 139 00:15:18,480 --> 00:15:28,894 that are using Wikidata's data using Lua. And now for something a bit different, 140 00:15:28,894 --> 00:15:33,591 Wikibase. You may have heard of it and you may even have wondered, OK, what's the 141 00:15:33,591 --> 00:15:38,692 difference between Wikibase and Wikidata? Well, Wikibase is basically the software 142 00:15:38,692 --> 00:15:45,172 powering Wikidata and, more precisely, the MediaWiki extension that is turning 143 00:15:45,172 --> 00:15:52,998 MediaWiki into a database. And so, Wikibase was started to power Wikidata 144 00:15:52,998 --> 00:15:58,352 but it also started developing on its own. Wikidata is still for now the biggest 145 00:15:58,352 --> 00:16:05,206 existing Wikibase instance, but people can also install Wikibase directly on their 146 00:16:05,206 --> 00:16:12,940 server and basically create their own little personal or public Wikidata. And 147 00:16:12,940 --> 00:16:17,090 the development is still ongoing, there are all kind of super exciting features 148 00:16:17,090 --> 00:16:22,928 coming up soon. And, for example, the ability to connect better Wikidata and 149 00:16:22,928 --> 00:16:28,828 your own instance of Wikibase, for example, to be able to reuse data that is 150 00:16:28,828 --> 00:16:33,635 already in Wikidata and to connect it to the data that you have in your own 151 00:16:33,635 --> 00:16:43,760 Wikibase. So, if you're interested in Wikidata, if you want to know more, there 152 00:16:43,760 --> 00:16:48,400 are a bunch of pages that you can find. There is a help portal, the Project Chat 153 00:16:48,400 --> 00:16:52,480 is the main discussion page on the wiki where you can interact with the other 154 00:16:52,480 --> 00:16:56,080 editors, the community. It's super important to get in touch with them if you 155 00:16:56,080 --> 00:17:01,360 want to get started with Wikidata. We also have a mailing list. We have a newsletter 156 00:17:01,360 --> 00:17:06,000 that is called Weekly Summary that you can find on wiki but also if you subscribe to 157 00:17:06,000 --> 00:17:09,920 the mailing list, you will also receive it. And then we have some accounts in the 158 00:17:09,920 --> 00:17:14,160 social media, on Twitter, there is a Facebook group, there is a Telegram, um, 159 00:17:14,160 --> 00:17:19,760 that is linked from the Project Chat and there is also an IRC channel. So you can 160 00:17:19,760 --> 00:17:29,490 basically find people from the Wikidata community everywhere. So we are 161 00:17:29,490 --> 00:17:35,927 approaching the end of the session, but it's not done, we have more Wikidata 162 00:17:35,927 --> 00:17:42,310 related sessions at the c3 in the Wikipaka. So, for example, tomorrow you're 163 00:17:42,310 --> 00:17:46,720 going to get an introduction to Wikidata, specifically for journalists and 164 00:17:46,720 --> 00:17:51,281 especially data journalists. Then in the afternoon, we're gonna have two Wikidata 165 00:17:51,281 --> 00:17:54,915 meetups. The first one is gonna be in German. The second one is gonna be in 166 00:17:54,915 --> 00:17:58,980 English. So depending on your preferred language, you can attend one or the other 167 00:17:58,980 --> 00:18:05,878 or both, and on day three, as I mentioned before, we're going to have a workshop to 168 00:18:05,878 --> 00:18:11,843 learn how to query Wikidata's data with SPARQL. So feel free to have a look and 169 00:18:11,843 --> 00:18:21,930 check them also in the main schedule of Wikipaka. Thank you very much for 170 00:18:21,930 --> 00:18:27,448 attending this session. These are our contact details if you want to, to contact 171 00:18:27,448 --> 00:18:33,124 us. And of course, you can now ask questions, as we mentioned in the chat or 172 00:18:33,124 --> 00:18:41,360 with the hashtag. And we will be very happy to answer all your questions right 173 00:18:41,360 --> 00:18:46,960 now. Herald: Thank you for your input and the 174 00:18:46,960 --> 00:18:52,400 overview about Wikidata. There has been a few question or questions already answered 175 00:18:52,400 --> 00:18:58,112 by Joel in the IRC channel. One was about the big dump of scholarly data and what 176 00:18:58,112 --> 00:19:04,160 scholarly data is and how this came to be in Wikidata. But there is one more 177 00:19:04,160 --> 00:19:09,680 question from the chat right now Till asks can I add new types of data that are not 178 00:19:09,680 --> 00:19:18,080 yet tracked in Wikidata? Léa: So I'm wondering, what do you mean 179 00:19:18,080 --> 00:19:22,800 exactly by type of data? Maybe you can give a bit more details because that can 180 00:19:22,800 --> 00:19:30,080 mean a lot of things. Wikidata, the data model of Wikidata is very flexible and 181 00:19:30,080 --> 00:19:36,240 it's absolutely not set in stone. Every, every week the community comes up with 182 00:19:36,240 --> 00:19:40,800 some new ways to describe things. Sometimes we realize that there is an area 183 00:19:40,800 --> 00:19:46,840 of the world that we completely forgot to cover, and then we create new properties 184 00:19:46,840 --> 00:19:52,480 to describe, for example, a certain type of, I don't know, of concept, a certain type 185 00:19:52,480 --> 00:19:59,520 of building or objects that we or philosophical concept that we didn't 186 00:19:59,520 --> 00:20:05,440 describe yet. So this is always in movement, in action. When it comes to what 187 00:20:05,440 --> 00:20:11,680 we actually call data types, which is, for example, a string of text or a date or a 188 00:20:11,680 --> 00:20:16,000 picture, we have all kind of data types like this, this is a bit more complicated 189 00:20:16,000 --> 00:20:22,480 and overall, it's quite rare that we add a new data type and it needs a strong, like, 190 00:20:22,480 --> 00:20:28,320 use case so we add that to the software. I hope that it answer your question and if I 191 00:20:28,320 --> 00:20:32,480 didn't, feel free to ask again. Herald: Yeah, we've got a feedback. The 192 00:20:32,480 --> 00:20:37,760 example Till meant was, there's a, there's an organization or a project called 193 00:20:37,760 --> 00:20:44,960 Parliamentwatch in Germany. There was one talk earlier today where they try to track 194 00:20:44,960 --> 00:20:50,480 and scrape and analyze the parliamentary protocols. And one big issue they had was 195 00:20:50,480 --> 00:20:56,000 with structural data about all the members of parliament and how they are organized 196 00:20:56,000 --> 00:21:01,680 and stuff like that. And, um, well, if I remember correctly, there actually was a 197 00:21:01,680 --> 00:21:06,080 project that tried to include the structural data of of members of 198 00:21:06,080 --> 00:21:08,160 parliament in Wikidata, if I'm not mistaken. 199 00:21:08,160 --> 00:21:16,320 Léa: Absolutely. It's a WikiProject that is called, um, something politicians, 200 00:21:16,320 --> 00:21:21,280 all politicians. I don't remember the exact name right now, but indeed. Some 201 00:21:21,280 --> 00:21:28,400 people are already working on members of parliaments and, like, political people in 202 00:21:28,400 --> 00:21:34,000 general. So it's very likely that there is already a way to structure the data. The 203 00:21:34,000 --> 00:21:41,120 best way is to contact the people directly involved on this, on this WikiProject. 204 00:21:41,120 --> 00:21:46,480 WikiProjects, by the way, are pages where basically people who have a specific topic 205 00:21:46,480 --> 00:21:50,240 of interest gather and can discuss about the specific questions about the topic. 206 00:21:50,800 --> 00:21:58,160 Um, so have a look at this, at this project about politics and, um, yeah. Try 207 00:21:58,160 --> 00:22:03,280 to see if, if anything is missing, but generally Wikidata definitely welcome 208 00:22:03,280 --> 00:22:08,640 information about about politicians, about member of parliaments, this kind of stuff. 209 00:22:08,640 --> 00:22:13,200 What we do not do, however, is store the full, like, documents, for example, in 210 00:22:13,200 --> 00:22:17,600 that case, the reports or the documents, that belongs elsewhere. Maybe on Wikimedia 211 00:22:17,600 --> 00:22:21,680 Commons, for example, if it's possible, if the license allows it. But on Wikidata, 212 00:22:21,680 --> 00:22:24,080 we'll be happy to store the metadata about them. 213 00:22:25,840 --> 00:22:30,640 Herald: Alright, Joel just posted the link to the WikiProject, Every Politician, so 214 00:22:30,640 --> 00:22:36,320 if anybody looks for Every Politician on Wikidata, they will find the project. So 215 00:22:36,320 --> 00:22:40,240 basically, the bottom line is pretty much anything is possible in Wikidata, right? 216 00:22:40,240 --> 00:22:49,360 Léa: Yeah, thank you Joel, and hi. Almost everything. So on Wikidata, just like on 217 00:22:49,360 --> 00:22:55,120 Wikipedia, we still have some criteria to define what can get in Wikidata and what 218 00:22:55,120 --> 00:23:00,880 not, because we are aware that this knowledge base, it needs to stay quite 219 00:23:00,880 --> 00:23:06,320 general and it cannot contain absolutely everything. For example, the community 220 00:23:06,320 --> 00:23:12,320 decided a while ago that they would not create one item for each human living or 221 00:23:12,320 --> 00:23:18,000 who used to live on Earth, that's just not possible, so there are some notability 222 00:23:18,000 --> 00:23:25,680 criteria that you can find in the help pages and I would say that the level of, 223 00:23:25,680 --> 00:23:30,960 like, how fine-grained the data should be has to be discussed with the community and the 224 00:23:30,960 --> 00:23:35,040 good thing about having Wikibase also available as a separate instance of 225 00:23:35,040 --> 00:23:39,920 Wikidata is that if some people want to work on a topic where they have some 226 00:23:39,920 --> 00:23:43,520 information that is very, very specific and would maybe not fit the scope of 227 00:23:43,520 --> 00:23:48,000 Wikidata, they can create their own Wikibase and then they can connect the 228 00:23:48,000 --> 00:23:54,000 content with what is already in Wikidata. So altogether, in this Wikibase ecosystem, 229 00:23:54,000 --> 00:23:58,240 yes, pretty much everything is possible. Herald: Well, the future is certainly 230 00:23:58,240 --> 00:24:01,680 here, at least, with Wikidata. Thank you again, Léa and Mohammed, for your 231 00:24:01,680 --> 00:24:05,520 insightful introduction to Wikidata and we're looking forward to more people 232 00:24:05,520 --> 00:24:09,340 joining you in your efforts. Thanks for your presentation. 233 00:24:09,340 --> 00:24:13,124 Léa: Thank you.
