Wikidata
- Started in 2012
- is free, open, linked, structured, collaborative and multilingual knowledge base
- From multi-(sub)domain multilingual Wikipedia sites to a single-domain multilingual website
Collaborative Multilingual Multi-domain Ontology development

Property proposal, discussion and voting

Wikidata Property: Labels and descriptions

Example Wikidata Property: country (P17)

Wikidata Property: from Proposal to Usage

Property proposal, creation and usage on Wikidata

WDProp

WDProp:
- Collaborative Multilingual Multi-domain Ontology development: is it possible to achieve a truly multilingual experience?
Properties:
- Not so much influenced by bots!
Goals:
- Understanding Wikidata property proposal, creation and translation
- Available templates and their usage
- Providing real-time statistics to (multilingual) contributors

Towards 'Everything' about Wikidata properties

WDProp
- Get real-time translation statistics
- Navigate supported languages, properties, datatypes, classes
- Compare translation statistics
- Find available properties for an entity
- Shows associated Wikidata SPARQL endpoints and Mediawiki API
- Based on basic web technologies (HTML, Javascript, CSS)
