{{Use dmy dates|date=August 2014}}{{Use British English|date=August 2014}}A '''courtesy title''' is a form of address in systems of [[nobility]] used for children, former wives and other close relatives of a [[peerage|peer]], as well as certain officials such as some judges and members of the Scottish [[Landed gentry|gentry]]. These [[style (manner of address)|styles]] are used "by courtesy" in the sense that persons referred to by these titles do not themselves hold [[substantive title]]s. There are several different kinds of courtesy titles in the [[British peerage]] system. |

===<div style="background:#97b314; color:white; padding-left:20px">Guiding principles</div>=== |
|||
<ul> |
|||
<li>'''Openness:''' Wikidata’s content is free and open for anyone to use; participation is open for everyone. Our products should lead to more free and open data, and everyone should be able to join our movement. We want to reduce barriers for new participants.</li> |

<li>'''Sustainability:''' Wikidata is here to stay. It is important to us that the users of our data can have confidence in us, which is why we aim for sustainability over speedy growth and quick wins.</li> |
|||
<li>'''Co-creation''': Wikidata stands or falls based on the health of its amazing community. We prioritize providing the community with the tools and knowledge they need to find solutions that fit their needs, which will ensure that our community -- including future contributors and volunteers -- continues to have the power to care for Wikidata. Wikidata and its community are not alone. We are well connected to the other Wikimedia projects, and a growing ecosystem of tools and applications exists around Wikidata, the Wikibase Ecosystem, and the larger Linked Open Data web. Our positive impact in the world is strongest when we work together.</li> |

<u>[[wikidata:Wikidata:Introduction#https://linkedopendata.eu/wiki/Item:Q2645118|Wikidata is a free, collaborative, multilingual knowledge base with a focus on verifiability]]</u>. It collects structured data to provide support for Wikipedia, the other wikis in the Wikimedia movement, and anyone in the world with a need for general-purpose structured data. Wikidata is based on the Wikibase software and provides data, an ontology and links to other databases. |
|||
Wikidata’s data constitutes the basis for a wide variety of applications and services both inside and outside the Wikimedia movement. It is an increasingly important building block for much of the technology we use every day. |
|||
Wikidata has just turned nine years old and is thriving more than ever. We now need nine digits for our identifiers (<u>[[wmfblog:2020/10/06/wikidata-reaches-q100000000/https://linkedopendata.eu/wiki/Item:Q2645118|welcome Q100000001]]</u>), and this summer we crossed the 1.5-billion edit mark. A full 72% of Wikipedia articles use Wikidata for infobox content, auto-categorization, flagging maintenance work and other support functionality, not to mention site links, which are used in 97% of all Wikipedia articles. The Wikidata Query Service sees 11 million queries per day. Wikidata has also successfully expanded into the area of lexicographical data, forming the basis for new initiatives such as Abstract Wikipedia. |
|||
=== Examples of current Wikidata use === |
|||
Wikidata offers basic building blocks that can be used in various ways. Here are some examples of how Wikidata’s various types of content are currently used: |
|||
<ul> |
|||
<li>'''Accessing basic information:''' These projects use Wikidata to retrieve basic data on specific entities. |

|||
</li> |
|||
<li>'''Augmenting other data:''' These projects use Wikidata to retrieve data that enriches data they already have. |
|||
<ul> |
|||
<li>[https://musicbrainz.org/area/08310658-51eb-3801-80de-5a0739207115 <u>Musicbrainz</u>]: This music encyclopedia augments their music data with Wikidata’s data on concepts (e.g., countries) that are related to but not an essential part of their knowledge area.</li> |
|||
<li>[https://kanopi.io <u>Kanopi</u>]: This semantic note-taking application allows users to link to Wikidata Items and easily augment their notes with data from Wikidata.</li> |
|||
<li>[https://twitter.com/openlibrary/status/1274104107851083776 <u>OpenLibrary</u>]: This book-tracking website uses Wikidata to retrieve data on the gender, origin and other attributes of the authors in their catalog, allowing them to provide their readers with statistics on biases in their reading behavior.</li></ul> |
|||
</li> |
|||
<li>'''Machine learning:''' These projects use Wikidata as a source of training data for machine-learning systems. |
|||
<ul> |
|||
<li>[http://ceur-ws.org/Vol-2535/paper_7.pdf <u>Exploration of historical theatre photographs</u>]: Researchers used Wikidata’s data in support of a machine-learning system that performs image recognition on a collection of old theatre photographs. Wikidata’s data facilitated plausibility checks. If the image detection algorithm recognized, for example, a laptop in a historic photo, it would be marked as highly unlikely, based on when laptops were invented.</li> |
|||
<li><u>[https://openai.com/blog/discovering-types-for-entity-disambiguation/https://linkedopendata.eu/wiki/Item:Q2645118 OpenAI]</u>: One of OpenAI’s machine-learning systems uses data from Wikidata to perform entity disambiguation: helping a computer differentiate between two entities with the same name mentioned in a text -- for example, distinguishing between Jaguar (the make of automobile) and a jaguar (the animal).</li> |
|||
<li>[https://demo.txtwerk.de/txt-demo/ <u>TXT Werk</u>]: This company is using Wikidata’s data and entities as a basis for their named-entity recognition tool, which allows users to extract entities from a given text and identify them by their Q-ID.</li></ul> |
|||
</li> |
|||
<li>'''Data cleaning and reconciliation:''' Wikidata’s statements and ontology are used to connect and clean up a data set. |
|||
<ul> |
|||
<li>[https://quoraontology.quora.com/Wikidata-and-Quora-Topics <u>Quora</u>]: Their question-answering side uses connections to Wikidata to compare their ontology to Wikidata’s and then correct mistakes in both ontologies.</li></ul> |
|||
</li> |
|||
<li>'''Data exploration and visualization:''' Wikidata’s data is used to give new insights and overviews in areas such as journalism, education and research. |
|||
<ul> |
|||
<li>[https://polmeth2020.org/measuring-political-elite-networks-wikidata <u>Measuring Political Elite Networks</u>]: This researcher uses the entities for elite organizations and persons and the connections between them to better understand how political power networks across the world work.</li> |
|||
<li>[https://equalstreetnames.brussels <u>EqualStreetNames.Brussels</u>]: This website uses Wikidata’s gender data to explore biases in who streets are named after in Brussels. Similar websites exist for a few other cities.</li> |
|||
<li>[https://openartbrowser.org/ <u>Open Art Browser</u>]: This art website lets users explore visual art across time, movements, locations, motifs and more.</li></ul> |
|||
</li> |
|||
<li>'''Gateway to LOD web:''' Wikidata’s links to other websites, catalogs, archives and more are used to access additional information. |
|||
<ul> |
|||
<li>[https://thesciencemuseum.github.io/heritageconnector/post/2020/09/23/sidestepping-the-limitations-of-collections-catalogues-with-machine-learning-and-wikidata/ <u>The Science Museum</u>]: This museum uses Wikidata as a “Rosetta Stone” to provide links to other datasets, to ingest content from those datasets, and to provide richer interfaces to their collection.</li></ul> |
|||
</li> |
|||
<li>'''Source of notable entities for disambiguation, cataloging, tagging and more:''' Wikidata’s stable identifiers are used to clearly identify concepts in a language-independent manner. |
|||
<ul> |
|||
<li>[https://medium.com/occrp-unreported/an-%D0%B0%D0%BB%D0%B5%D0%BA%D1%81%D0%B0%D0%BD%D0%B4%D1%80-by-any-other-name-819525c82d8 <u>OCCRP</u>]: The Organized Crime and Corruption Reporting Project uses Wikidata’s Items and their labels in various languages to support their data analysis during reporting, specifically to gain a better understanding of the many different names under which a person or organization might be operating (and hiding behind).</li> |
|||
<li>[https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Hauptseite <u>Wikimedia Commons</u>]: Wikimedia’s media site uses Wikidata’s IDs and concepts for sophisticated image tagging to enable better exploration of its media archive.</li> |

===<div style="background:#97b314; color:white; padding-left:20px">Strategies</div>=== |
|||
===<div style="color:#97b314">Empower the community to increase data quality</div>=== |
|||
We must ensure that our socio-technical system helps editors increase the quality of Wikidata’s existing data and contribute new high-quality data. |
|||
==== Why focus here? ==== |
|||
We want and need Wikidata’s data to be accurate and verifiable, especially as more and more technology in everyday use relies on our data in providing applications and services. This state of affairs places increased pressure on Wikidata to provide high-quality data and increases the incentives to manipulate our data. Meanwhile, the growth of Wikidata’s content is outpacing the community’s own growth and its ability to maintain that content. |
|||
==== How might we address this? ==== |
|||
We can establish feedback loops with data re-users, perform automated verification of data and issue detection, and develop tools and artefacts that make project policies and guidelines easier to implement (e.g., more powerful Entity Schemas). |
|||
===<div style="color:#97b314">Facilitate equity in decision making</div>=== |
|||
We want to ensure that diverse perspectives come into play as fundamental decisions are made for and about Wikidata. By doing so we can better support knowledge often underrepresented in knowledge graphs. |
|||
==== Why focus here? ==== |
|||
We are committed to equity within Wikidata, and it plays an especially important role in our fundamental decision-making processes. |
|||
==== How might we address this? ==== |
|||
We can address this by amplifying voices that are raising awareness and by bringing perspectives to the discussion that have so far been missing from it. We can create spaces for discussion and help with facilitation. |
|||
===<div style="color:#97b314">Increase re-use for increased impact</div>=== |
|||
We want to make sure that anyone can use the data in Wikidata to make the world a better place. While everyone can re-use our data, we give priority to organizations and projects that align with our values and have a high impact. |
|||
==== Why focus here? ==== |
|||
We want more people to benefit from the data Wikidata provides. High-impact projects that are aligned with our vision and values, along with re-users giving back to Wikidata, provide a greater collective benefit simply by reaching more people. |
|||
==== How might we address this? ==== |
|||
We can leverage our new and improved APIs and our improved documentation and showcases and throw more support behind high-impact re-users: namely, educational re-users, those working towards knowledge equity and those that give back. |
|||
===<div style="color:#97b314">Strengthen underrepresented languages</div>=== |
|||
More people need access to knowledge and technology presented in their own language, and content in that language should be accessible to all. Language data is a fundamental building block in reaching that goal. |
|||
==== Why focus here? ==== |
|||
The underrepresentation of some languages in the realms of technology and of knowledge in general constitutes a significant barrier to granting as many people as possible access to the world’s knowledge in their own language. |
|||
==== How might we address this? ==== |
|||
A direct path to improving that situation would be to increase access to multilingual machine-readable data, which would then serve as a basis for apps and services. Improving the user interface for lexicographical data and making lexicographical data accessible in Wiktionary will go some way toward that goal. |
|||
===<div style="color:#97b314">Enable Wikimedia Projects to share their workload</div>=== |
|||
The Wikimedia Projects should be able to rely on Wikidata to share their workload across language and project family boundaries. |
|||
==== Why focus here? ==== |
|||
We want all Wikimedia Projects and language versions of these projects to flourish; that’s the best and most effective path to giving every single human being access to the sum of all knowledge. To this end, we must support smaller and medium-size projects in particular and free them to rely on Wikidata as a source of basic data that is collectively maintained. |
|||
Currently, Wikidata and the other Wikimedia Projects are not tightly integrated, nor is the integration yet elaborate enough to take full advantage of this workload sharing. Wikidata benefits immensely from the efforts, expertise and experience of contributors from other Wikimedia Projects -- not only in keeping its data well maintained, but also in learning from community processes and other experiences that can be applied to Wikidata. |
|||
==== How might we address this? ==== |
|||
We can build out interfaces that allow users to edit Wikidata from the other Wikimedia Projects, e.g., Wikidata Bridge, as well as improving tools to monitor and moderate content relevant to a given project and supporting projects like Abstract Wikipedia, which rely on Wikidata’s data to provide content to readers in an automated fashion. |
|||
===<div style="background:#97b314; color:white; padding-left:20px">Target groups</div>=== |
|||
===<div style="color:#97b314">Project shapers</div>=== |
|||
Project shapers have their effect on Wikidata by facilitating and taking part in fundamental processes and decision-making. They create the rules and structures that hold the project together and are typically at the core of the community, with deep, overall understanding and care for the project. |
|||
'''Concerns and needs''': Project shapers want to create processes and rules that others can and want to follow, so the project can scale and remain healthy. |
|||
'''Connection to strategy''': Project shapers are integral to '''empowering the community to increase data quality''', guiding the decision-making process required to come to agreements on data modeling and more. They play a crucial role in '''facilitating equity in decision-making''', ensuring that a diverse set of voices is heard and their perspectives considered. We can support project shapers by creating tools and artefacts that make project policies and guidelines more actionable, as well as by supporting the creation of inclusive and open processes and guidelines to increase knowledge equity. |
|||
===<div style="color:#97b314">Gardeners</div>=== |
|||
Gardeners bring Wikidata to life by enhancing Wikidata’s quality and enforcing the rules and agreed-upon structures. Typically, they have subject-matter expertise and care deeply about quality in their topic areas. |
|||
'''Concerns and needs''': Gardeners currently have more work to do than is humanly possible. They require tools, rules and processes that support their quality work and that ensure others can contribute positively. |
|||
'''Connection to strategy''': Gardeners are integral in empowering the community to increase data quality as those who tend the garden that is Wikidata. They also play an important role in '''increasing re-use for increased impact''', as consistently modeled data is vital for easier re-use. We can support gardeners by creating more powerful tools and artefacts that empower their work (user interfaces that encompass project guidelines, tools to incorporate feedback from re-users, automated verification, etc.) and by attracting more editors to the project in order to lessen the workload. |
|||
[[File:Items-editors.png|frame|centre|Growth graphs of Wikidata Items and editorship]] |
|||
===<div style="color:#97b314">Representatives of diverse knowledge</div>=== |
|||
Representatives of diverse knowledge share viewpoints that would otherwise be underrepresented in Wikidata’s data in the contexts of language and culture, among others, and they play an important part in bringing missing voices to the fundamental discussions shaping the project. |
|||
'''Concerns and needs''': Representatives of diverse knowledge want to see their otherwise underrepresented knowledge reflected in Wikidata and the wider open knowledge ecosystem; they want their voices to be heard in fundamental decisions that shape the project. |
|||
'''Connection to strategy''': Representatives of diverse knowledge are crucial in '''facilitating equity in decision making''' as those who bring important perspectives, which would otherwise be absent, to discussions and decision making processes. We can support representatives of diverse knowledge by growing expert communities in underrepresented areas, supporting project shapers and facilitators in making fundamental decisions and bringing in otherwise missing points of view. |
|||
===<div style="color:#97b314">Small and medium-size re-users</div>=== |
|||
Small and medium-size re-users are building products and services on top of Wikidata’s data. They often contribute back and use Wikidata to overcome the competitive disadvantage of not owning their own knowledge graph. |
|||
'''Concerns and needs''': Small and medium-size re-users are looking for data that is easy to access and use without the burden of collecting and maintaining it on their own. |
|||
'''Connection to strategy''': Small and medium-size re-users are vital for '''increasing re-use for increased impact''' as those who can build new, useful applications and services on top of Wikidata’s data, thereby increasing the impact of our data in the world. These re-users tend to be more closely aligned with Wikimedia’s mission and values and include many free and open knowledge projects. We can support small and medium-sized re-users by making it easier to use Wikidata’s data and to give back to the commons. |
|||
===<div style="color:#97b314">Large re-users</div>=== |
|||
Large re-users are global organizations that are integrating Wikidata’s data into the internal knowledge graphs driving their products and services. Typically, they are able to help us improve Wikidata’s data through their processes for user feedback and internal quality assurance. |
|||
'''Concerns and needs''': Large re-users want easy access to high-quality data and are seeking ways to contribute in a meaningful way. |
|||
'''Connection to strategy''': Large re-users are important for '''increasing re-use for increased impact''' and for '''empowering the community to increase data quality''': they reach billions of people with their applications and services, and they have the resources to support us in securing and increasing data quality. We can support large re-users by making it easier for them to give back -- for example, by showing them how they can participate in the necessary work of maintaining Wikidata and by providing defined tools and processes to report issues they discover as they perform internal quality assurance. |

===<div style="background:#97b314; color:white; padding-left:20px">Strategies</div>=== |
|||
===<div style="color:#97b314">Empower the community to increase data quality</div>=== |
|||
We must ensure that our socio-technical system helps editors increase the quality of Wikidata’s existing data and contribute new high-quality data. |
|||
==== Why focus here? ==== |
|||
We want and need Wikidata’s data to be accurate and verifiable, especially as more and more technology in everyday use relies on our data in providing applications and services. This state of affairs places increased pressure on Wikidata to provide high-quality data and increases the incentives to manipulate our data. Meanwhile, the growth of Wikidata’s content is outpacing the community’s own growth and its ability to maintain that content. |
|||
==== How might we address this? ==== |
|||
We can establish feedback loops with data re-users, perform automated verification of data and issue detection, and develop tools and artefacts that make project policies and guidelines easier to implement (e.g., more powerful Entity Schemas). |
|||
===<div style="color:#97b314">Facilitate equity in decision making</div>=== |
|||
We want to ensure that diverse perspectives come into play as fundamental decisions are made for and about Wikidata. By doing so we can better support knowledge often underrepresented in knowledge graphs. |
|||
==== Why focus here? ==== |
|||
We are committed to equity within Wikidata, and it plays an especially important role in our fundamental decision-making processes. |
|||
==== How might we address this? ==== |
|||
We can address this by amplifying voices that are raising awareness and by bringing perspectives to the discussion that have so far been missing from it. We can create spaces for discussion and help with facilitation. |
|||
===<div style="color:#97b314">Increase re-use for increased impact</div>=== |
|||
We want to make sure that anyone can use the data in Wikidata to make the world a better place. While everyone can re-use our data, we give priority to organizations and projects that align with our values and have a high impact. |
|||
==== Why focus here? ==== |
|||
We want more people to benefit from the data Wikidata provides. High-impact projects that are aligned with our vision and values, along with re-users giving back to Wikidata, provide a greater collective benefit simply by reaching more people. |
|||
==== How might we address this? ==== |
|||
We can leverage our new and improved APIs and our improved documentation and showcases and throw more support behind high-impact re-users: namely, educational re-users, those working towards knowledge equity and those that give back. |
|||
===<div style="color:#97b314">Strengthen underrepresented languages</div>=== |
|||
More people need access to knowledge and technology presented in their own language, and content in that language should be accessible to all. Language data is a fundamental building block in reaching that goal. |
|||
==== Why focus here? ==== |
|||
The underrepresentation of some languages in the realms of technology and of knowledge in general constitutes a significant barrier to granting as many people as possible access to the world’s knowledge in their own language. |
|||
==== How might we address this? ==== |
|||
A direct path to improving that situation would be to increase access to multilingual machine-readable data, which would then serve as a basis for apps and services. Improving the user interface for lexicographical data and making lexicographical data accessible in Wiktionary will go some way toward that goal. |
|||
===<div style="color:#97b314">Enable Wikimedia Projects to share their workload</div>=== |
|||
The Wikimedia Projects should be able to rely on Wikidata to share their workload across language and project family boundaries. |
|||
==== Why focus here? ==== |
|||
We want all Wikimedia Projects and language versions of these projects to flourish; that’s the best and most effective path to giving every single human being access to the sum of all knowledge. To this end, we must support smaller and medium-size projects in particular and free them to rely on Wikidata as a source of basic data that is collectively maintained. |
|||
Currently, Wikidata and the other Wikimedia Projects are not tightly integrated, nor is the integration yet elaborate enough to take full advantage of this workload sharing. Wikidata benefits immensely from the efforts, expertise and experience of contributors from other Wikimedia Projects -- not only in keeping its data well maintained, but also in learning from community processes and other experiences that can be applied to Wikidata. |
|||
==== How might we address this? ==== |
|||
We can build out interfaces that allow users to edit Wikidata from the other Wikimedia Projects, e.g., Wikidata Bridge, as well as improving tools to monitor and moderate content relevant to a given project and supporting projects like Abstract Wikipedia, which rely on Wikidata’s data to provide content to readers in an automated fashion. |
|||
===<div style="background:#97b314; color:white; padding-left:20px">Target groups</div>=== |
|||
===<div style="color:#97b314">Project shapers</div>=== |
|||
Project shapers have their effect on Wikidata by facilitating and taking part in fundamental processes and decision-making. They create the rules and structures that hold the project together and are typically at the core of the community, with deep, overall understanding and care for the project. |
|||
'''Concerns and needs''': Project shapers want to create processes and rules that others can and want to follow, so the project can scale and remain healthy. |
|||
'''Connection to strategy''': Project shapers are integral to '''empowering the community to increase data quality''', guiding the decision-making process required to come to agreements on data modeling and more. They play a crucial role in '''facilitating equity in decision-making''', ensuring that a diverse set of voices is heard and their perspectives considered. We can support project shapers by creating tools and artefacts that make project policies and guidelines more actionable, as well as by supporting the creation of inclusive and open processes and guidelines to increase knowledge equity. |
|||
===<div style="color:#97b314">Gardeners</div>=== |
|||
Gardeners bring Wikidata to life by enhancing Wikidata’s quality and enforcing the rules and agreed-upon structures. Typically, they have subject-matter expertise and care deeply about quality in their topic areas. |
|||
'''Concerns and needs''': Gardeners currently have more work to do than is humanly possible. They require tools, rules and processes that support their quality work and that ensure others can contribute positively. |
|||
'''Connection to strategy''': Gardeners are integral in empowering the community to increase data quality as those who tend the garden that is Wikidata. They also play an important role in '''increasing re-use for increased impact''', as consistently modeled data is vital for easier re-use. We can support gardeners by creating more powerful tools and artefacts that empower their work (user interfaces that encompass project guidelines, tools to incorporate feedback from re-users, automated verification, etc.) and by attracting more editors to the project in order to lessen the workload. |
|||
[[File:Items-editors.png|frame|centre|Growth graphs of Wikidata Items and editorship]] |
|||
===<div style="color:#97b314">Representatives of diverse knowledge</div>=== |
|||
Representatives of diverse knowledge share viewpoints that would otherwise be underrepresented in Wikidata’s data in the contexts of language and culture, among others, and they play an important part in bringing missing voices to the fundamental discussions shaping the project. |
|||
'''Concerns and needs''': Representatives of diverse knowledge want to see their otherwise underrepresented knowledge reflected in Wikidata and the wider open knowledge ecosystem; they want their voices to be heard in fundamental decisions that shape the project. |
|||
'''Connection to strategy''': Representatives of diverse knowledge are crucial in '''facilitating equity in decision making''' as those who bring important perspectives, which would otherwise be absent, to discussions and decision making processes. We can support representatives of diverse knowledge by growing expert communities in underrepresented areas, supporting project shapers and facilitators in making fundamental decisions and bringing in otherwise missing points of view. |
|||
===<div style="color:#97b314">Small and medium-size re-users</div>=== |
|||
Small and medium-size re-users are building products and services on top of Wikidata’s data. They often contribute back and use Wikidata to overcome the competitive disadvantage of not owning their own knowledge graph. |
|||
'''Concerns and needs''': Small and medium-size re-users are looking for data that is easy to access and use without the burden of collecting and maintaining it on their own. |
|||
'''Connection to strategy''': Small and medium-size re-users are vital for '''increasing re-use for increased impact''' as those who can build new, useful applications and services on top of Wikidata’s data, thereby increasing the impact of our data in the world. These re-users tend to be more closely aligned with Wikimedia’s mission and values and include many free and open knowledge projects. We can support small and medium-sized re-users by making it easier to use Wikidata’s data and to give back to the commons. |
|||
===<div style="color:#97b314">Large re-users</div>=== |
|||
Large re-users are global organizations that are integrating Wikidata’s data into the internal knowledge graphs driving their products and services. Typically, they are able to help us improve Wikidata’s data through their processes for user feedback and internal quality assurance. |
|||
'''Concerns and needs''': Large re-users want easy access to high-quality data and are seeking ways to contribute in a meaningful way. |
|||
'''Connection to strategy''': Large re-users are important for '''increasing re-use for increased impact''' and for '''empowering the community to increase data quality''': they reach billions of people with their applications and services, and they have the resources to support us in securing and increasing data quality. We can support large re-users by making it easier for them to give back -- for example, by showing them how they can participate in the necessary work of maintaining Wikidata and by providing defined tools and processes to report issues they discover as they perform internal quality assurance. |

===<div style="background:#97b314; color:white; padding-left:20px">Purpose</div>=== |
|||
Wikidata makes it easier than ever to build apps and services around Linked Open Data. It achieves this by empowering communities from all over the world to collaboratively collect and organize important data about the world. |
|||
===<div style="background:#97b314; color:white; padding-left:20px">Guiding principles</div>=== |
|||
<ul> |
|||
<li>'''Openness:''' Wikidata’s content is free and open for anyone to use; participation is open for everyone. Our products should lead to more free and open data, and everyone should be able to join our movement. We want to reduce barriers for new participants.</li> |
|||
<li>'''Sustainability:''' Wikidata is here to stay. It is important to us that the users of our data can have confidence in us, which is why we aim for sustainability over speedy growth and quick wins.</li> |
|||
<li>'''Co-creation''': Wikidata stands or falls based on the health of its amazing community. We prioritize providing the community with the tools and knowledge they need to find solutions that fit their needs, which will ensure that our community -- including future contributors and volunteers -- continues to have the power to care for Wikidata. Wikidata and its community are not alone. We are well connected to the other Wikimedia projects, and a growing ecosystem of tools and applications exists around Wikidata, the Wikibase Ecosystem, and the larger Linked Open Data web. Our positive impact in the world is strongest when we work together.</li> |
|||
<li>'''Utility:''' In order to have an impact on the world, Wikidata’s content must be used outside of Wikidata. Making sure Wikidata’s data is widely used means we must ensure it remains useful for re-users. This includes maintaining high-quality data as well as easy access to that data.</li> |
|||
<li>'''Knowledge equity:''' The world is beautiful and complex; Wikidata should reflect that. We want to make sure that Wikidata and its decision-making processes support equity.</li></ul> |
|||
===<div style="background:#97b314; color:white; padding-left:20px">Background info</div>=== |
|||
<u>[[wikidata:Wikidata:Introduction#https://linkedopendata.eu/wiki/Item:Q2645118|Wikidata is a free, collaborative, multilingual knowledge base with a focus on verifiability]]</u>. It collects structured data to provide support for Wikipedia, the other wikis in the Wikimedia movement, and anyone in the world with a need for general-purpose structured data. Wikidata is based on the Wikibase software and provides data, an ontology and links to other databases. |
|||
Wikidata’s data constitutes the basis for a wide variety of applications and services both inside and outside the Wikimedia movement. It is an increasingly important building block for much of the technology we use every day. |
|||
Wikidata has just turned nine years old and is thriving more than ever. We now need nine digits for our identifiers (<u>[[wmfblog:2020/10/06/wikidata-reaches-q100000000/https://linkedopendata.eu/wiki/Item:Q2645118|welcome Q100000001]]</u>), and this summer we crossed the 1.5-billion edit mark. A full 72% of Wikipedia articles use Wikidata for infobox content, auto-categorization, flagging maintenance work and other support functionality, not to mention site links, which are used in 97% of all Wikipedia articles. The Wikidata Query Service sees 11 million queries per day. Wikidata has also successfully expanded into the area of lexicographical data, forming the basis for new initiatives such as Abstract Wikipedia. |

===<div style="background:#97b314; color:white; padding-left:20px">Strategies</div>=== |
|||
===<div style="color:#97b314">Empower the community to increase data quality</div>=== |
|||
We must ensure that our socio-technical system helps editors increase the quality of Wikidata’s existing data and contribute new high-quality data. |
|||
==== Why focus here? ==== |
|||
We want and need Wikidata’s data to be accurate and verifiable, especially as more and more technology in everyday use relies on our data in providing applications and services. This state of affairs places increased pressure on Wikidata to provide high-quality data and increases the incentives to manipulate our data. Meanwhile, the growth of Wikidata’s content is outpacing the community’s own growth and its ability to maintain that content. |
|||
==== How might we address this? ==== |
|||
We can establish feedback loops with data re-users, perform automated verification of data and issue detection, and develop tools and artefacts that make project policies and guidelines easier to implement (e.g., more powerful Entity Schemas). |
|||
===<div style="color:#97b314">Facilitate equity in decision making</div>=== |
|||
We want to ensure that diverse perspectives come into play as fundamental decisions are made for and about Wikidata. By doing so we can better support knowledge often underrepresented in knowledge graphs. |
|||
==== Why focus here? ==== |
|||
We are committed to equity within Wikidata, and it plays an especially important role in our fundamental decision-making processes. |
|||
==== How might we address this? ==== |
|||
We can address this by amplifying voices that are raising awareness and by bringing perspectives to the discussion that have so far been missing from it. We can create spaces for discussion and help with facilitation. |
|||
===<div style="color:#97b314">Increase re-use for increased impact</div>=== |
|||
We want to make sure that anyone can use the data in Wikidata to make the world a better place. While everyone can re-use our data, we give priority to organizations and projects that align with our values and have a high impact. |
|||
==== Why focus here? ==== |
|||
We want more people to benefit from the data Wikidata provides. High-impact projects that are aligned with our vision and values, along with re-users giving back to Wikidata, provide a greater collective benefit simply by reaching more people. |
|||
==== How might we address this? ==== |
|||
We can leverage our new and improved APIs and our improved documentation and showcases and throw more support behind high-impact re-users: namely, educational re-users, those working towards knowledge equity and those that give back. |
|||
===<div style="color:#97b314">Strengthen underrepresented languages</div>=== |
|||
More people need access to knowledge and technology presented in their own language, and content in that language should be accessible to all. Language data is a fundamental building block in reaching that goal. |
|||
==== Why focus here? ==== |
|||
The underrepresentation of some languages in the realms of technology and of knowledge in general constitutes a significant barrier to granting as many people as possible access to the world’s knowledge in their own language. |
|||
==== How might we address this? ==== |
|||
A direct path to improving that situation would be to increase access to multilingual machine-readable data, which would then serve as a basis for apps and services. Improving the user interface for lexicographical data and making lexicographical data accessible in Wiktionary will go some way toward that goal. |
|||
===<div style="color:#97b314">Enable Wikimedia Projects to share their workload</div>=== |
|||
The Wikimedia Projects should be able to rely on Wikidata to share their workload across language and project family boundaries. |
|||
==== Why focus here? ==== |
|||
We want all Wikimedia Projects and language versions of these projects to flourish; that’s the best and most effective path to giving every single human being access to the sum of all knowledge. To this end, we must support smaller and medium-size projects in particular and free them to rely on Wikidata as a source of basic data that is collectively maintained. |
|||
Currently, Wikidata and the other Wikimedia Projects are not tightly integrated, nor is the integration yet elaborate enough to take full advantage of this workload sharing. Wikidata benefits immensely from the efforts, expertise and experience of contributors from other Wikimedia Projects -- not only in keeping its data well maintained, but also in learning from community processes and other experiences that can be applied to Wikidata. |
|||
==== How might we address this? ==== |
|||
We can build out interfaces that allow users to edit Wikidata from the other Wikimedia Projects, e.g., Wikidata Bridge, as well as improving tools to monitor and moderate content relevant to a given project and supporting projects like Abstract Wikipedia, which rely on Wikidata’s data to provide content to readers in an automated fashion. |
|||
===<div style="background:#97b314; color:white; padding-left:20px">Target groups</div>=== |
|||
===<div style="color:#97b314">Project shapers</div>=== |
|||
Project shapers have their effect on Wikidata by facilitating and taking part in fundamental processes and decision-making. They create the rules and structures that hold the project together and are typically at the core of the community, with deep, overall understanding and care for the project. |
|||
'''Concerns and needs''': Project shapers want to create processes and rules that others can and want to follow, so the project can scale and remain healthy. |
|||
'''Connection to strategy''': Project shapers are integral to '''empowering the community to increase data quality''', guiding the decision-making process required to come to agreements on data modeling and more. They play a crucial role in '''facilitating equity in decision-making''', ensuring that a diverse set of voices is heard and their perspectives considered. We can support project shapers by creating tools and artefacts that make project policies and guidelines more actionable, as well as by supporting the creation of inclusive and open processes and guidelines to increase knowledge equity. |
|||
===<div style="color:#97b314">Gardeners</div>=== |
|||
Gardeners bring Wikidata to life by enhancing Wikidata’s quality and enforcing the rules and agreed-upon structures. Typically, they have subject-matter expertise and care deeply about quality in their topic areas. |
|||
'''Concerns and needs''': Gardeners currently have more work to do than is humanly possible. They require tools, rules and processes that support their quality work and that ensure others can contribute positively. |
|||
'''Connection to strategy''': Gardeners are integral in empowering the community to increase data quality as those who tend the garden that is Wikidata. They also play an important role in '''increasing re-use for increased impact''', as consistently modeled data is vital for easier re-use. We can support gardeners by creating more powerful tools and artefacts that empower their work (user interfaces that encompass project guidelines, tools to incorporate feedback from re-users, automated verification, etc.) and by attracting more editors to the project in order to lessen the workload. |
|||
[[File:Items-editors.png|frame|centre|Growth graphs of Wikidata Items and editorship]] |
|||
===<div style="color:#97b314">Representatives of diverse knowledge</div>=== |
|||
Representatives of diverse knowledge share viewpoints that would otherwise be underrepresented in Wikidata’s data in the contexts of language and culture, among others, and they play an important part in bringing missing voices to the fundamental discussions shaping the project. |
|||
'''Concerns and needs''': Representatives of diverse knowledge want to see their otherwise underrepresented knowledge reflected in Wikidata and the wider open knowledge ecosystem; they want their voices to be heard in fundamental decisions that shape the project. |
|||
'''Connection to strategy''': Representatives of diverse knowledge are crucial in '''facilitating equity in decision making''' as those who bring important perspectives, which would otherwise be absent, to discussions and decision making processes. We can support representatives of diverse knowledge by growing expert communities in underrepresented areas, supporting project shapers and facilitators in making fundamental decisions and bringing in otherwise missing points of view. |
|||
===<div style="color:#97b314">Small and medium-size re-users</div>=== |
|||
Small and medium-size re-users are building products and services on top of Wikidata’s data. They often contribute back and use Wikidata to overcome the competitive disadvantage of not owning their own knowledge graph. |
|||
'''Concerns and needs''': Small and medium-size re-users are looking for data that is easy to access and use without the burden of collecting and maintaining it on their own. |
|||
'''Connection to strategy''': Small and medium-size re-users are vital for '''increasing re-use for increased impact''' as those who can build new, useful applications and services on top of Wikidata’s data, thereby increasing the impact of our data in the world. These re-users tend to be more closely aligned with Wikimedia’s mission and values and include many free and open knowledge projects. We can support small and medium-sized re-users by making it easier to use Wikidata’s data and to give back to the commons. |
|||
===<div style="color:#97b314">Large re-users</div>=== |
|||
Large re-users are global organizations that are integrating Wikidata’s data into the internal knowledge graphs driving their products and services. Typically, they are able to help us improve Wikidata’s data through their processes for user feedback and internal quality assurance. |
|||
'''Concerns and needs''': Large re-users want easy access to high-quality data and are seeking ways to contribute in a meaningful way. |
|||
'''Connection to strategy''': Large re-users are important for '''increasing re-use for increased impact''' and for '''empowering the community to increase data quality''': they reach billions of people with their applications and services, and they have the resources to support us in securing and increasing data quality. We can support large re-users by making it easier for them to give back -- for example, by showing them how they can participate in the necessary work of maintaining Wikidata and by providing defined tools and processes to report issues they discover as they perform internal quality assurance. |

===<div style="background:#97b314; color:white; padding-left:20px">Purpose</div>=== |
|||
Wikidata makes it easier than ever to build apps and services around Linked Open Data. It achieves this by empowering communities from all over the world to collaboratively collect and organize important data about the world. |
|||
===<div style="background:#97b314; color:white; padding-left:20px">Guiding principles</div>=== |
|||
<ul> |
|||
<li>'''Openness:''' Wikidata’s content is free and open for anyone to use; participation is open for everyone. Our products should lead to more free and open data, and everyone should be able to join our movement. We want to reduce barriers for new participants.</li> |
|||
<li>'''Sustainability:''' Wikidata is here to stay. It is important to us that the users of our data can have confidence in us, which is why we aim for sustainability over speedy growth and quick wins.</li> |
|||
<li>'''Co-creation''': Wikidata stands or falls based on the health of its amazing community. We prioritize providing the community with the tools and knowledge they need to find solutions that fit their needs, which will ensure that our community -- including future contributors and volunteers -- continues to have the power to care for Wikidata. Wikidata and its community are not alone. We are well connected to the other Wikimedia projects, and a growing ecosystem of tools and applications exists around Wikidata, the Wikibase Ecosystem, and the larger Linked Open Data web. Our positive impact in the world is strongest when we work together.</li> |
|||
<li>'''Utility:''' In order to have an impact on the world, Wikidata’s content must be used outside of Wikidata. Making sure Wikidata’s data is widely used means we must ensure it remains useful for re-users. This includes maintaining high-quality data as well as easy access to that data.</li> |
|||
<li>'''Knowledge equity:''' The world is beautiful and complex; Wikidata should reflect that. We want to make sure that Wikidata and its decision-making processes support equity.</li></ul> |
|||
===<div style="background:#97b314; color:white; padding-left:20px">Background info</div>=== |
|||
<u>[[wikidata:Wikidata:Introduction#https://linkedopendata.eu/wiki/Item:Q2645118|Wikidata is a free, collaborative, multilingual knowledge base with a focus on verifiability]]</u>. It collects structured data to provide support for Wikipedia, the other wikis in the Wikimedia movement, and anyone in the world with a need for general-purpose structured data. Wikidata is based on the Wikibase software and provides data, an ontology and links to other databases. |
|||
Wikidata’s data constitutes the basis for a wide variety of applications and services both inside and outside the Wikimedia movement. It is an increasingly important building block for much of the technology we use every day. |
|||
Wikidata has just turned nine years old and is thriving more than ever. We now need nine digits for our identifiers (<u>[[wmfblog:2020/10/06/wikidata-reaches-q100000000/https://linkedopendata.eu/wiki/Item:Q2645118|welcome Q100000001]]</u>), and this summer we crossed the 1.5-billion edit mark. A full 72% of Wikipedia articles use Wikidata for infobox content, auto-categorization, flagging maintenance work and other support functionality, not to mention site links, which are used in 97% of all Wikipedia articles. The Wikidata Query Service sees 11 million queries per day. Wikidata has also successfully expanded into the area of lexicographical data, forming the basis for new initiatives such as Abstract Wikipedia. |
|||
=== Examples of current Wikidata use === |
|||
Wikidata offers basic building blocks that can be used in various ways. Here are some examples of how Wikidata’s various types of content are currently used: |
|||
<ul> |
|||
<li>'''Accessing basic information:''' These projects use Wikidata to retrieve basic data on specific entities. |
|||
<ul> |
|||
<li>[http://auregann.fr/derdiedas/ <u>DerDieDas</u>]: This game uses data from Wikidata’s Lexemes to instruct users in the correct articles for German nouns.</li> |
|||
<li>[https://store.kde.org/p/1389861 <u>MyCroft AI</u>]: This digital personal assistant accesses data from Wikidata to answer general-knowledge questions.</li> |
|||
<li>[https://search.brave.com/search?q=Berlin <u>Brave search</u>]: This search engine uses data from Wikidata to show information boxes in their search results.</li></ul> |
|||
</li> |
|||
<li>'''Augmenting other data:''' These projects use Wikidata to retrieve data that enriches data they already have. |
|||
<ul> |
|||
<li>[https://musicbrainz.org/area/08310658-51eb-3801-80de-5a0739207115 <u>Musicbrainz</u>]: This music encyclopedia augments their music data with Wikidata’s data on concepts (e.g., countries) that are related to but not an essential part of their knowledge area.</li> |
|||
<li>[https://kanopi.io <u>Kanopi</u>]: This semantic note-taking application allows users to link to Wikidata Items and easily augment their notes with data from Wikidata.</li> |
|||
<li>[https://twitter.com/openlibrary/status/1274104107851083776 <u>OpenLibrary</u>]: This book-tracking website uses Wikidata to retrieve data on the gender, origin and other attributes of the authors in their catalog, allowing them to provide their readers with statistics on biases in their reading behavior.</li></ul> |
|||
</li> |
|||
<li>'''Machine learning:''' These projects use Wikidata as a source of training data for machine-learning systems. |
|||
<ul> |
|||
<li>[http://ceur-ws.org/Vol-2535/paper_7.pdf <u>Exploration of historical theatre photographs</u>]: Researchers used Wikidata’s data in support of a machine-learning system that performs image recognition on a collection of old theatre photographs. Wikidata’s data facilitated plausibility checks. If the image detection algorithm recognized, for example, a laptop in a historic photo, it would be marked as highly unlikely, based on when laptops were invented.</li> |
|||
<li><u>[https://openai.com/blog/discovering-types-for-entity-disambiguation/https://linkedopendata.eu/wiki/Item:Q2645118 OpenAI]</u>: One of OpenAI’s machine-learning systems uses data from Wikidata to perform entity disambiguation: helping a computer differentiate between two entities with the same name mentioned in a text -- for example, distinguishing between Jaguar (the make of automobile) and a jaguar (the animal).</li> |
|||
<li>[https://demo.txtwerk.de/txt-demo/ <u>TXT Werk</u>]: This company is using Wikidata’s data and entities as a basis for their named-entity recognition tool, which allows users to extract entities from a given text and identify them by their Q-ID.</li></ul> |
|||
</li> |
|||
<li>'''Data cleaning and reconciliation:''' Wikidata’s statements and ontology are used to connect and clean up a data set. |
|||
<ul> |
|||
<li>[https://quoraontology.quora.com/Wikidata-and-Quora-Topics <u>Quora</u>]: Their question-answering side uses connections to Wikidata to compare their ontology to Wikidata’s and then correct mistakes in both ontologies.</li></ul> |
|||
</li> |
|||
<li>'''Data exploration and visualization:''' Wikidata’s data is used to give new insights and overviews in areas such as journalism, education and research. |
|||
<ul> |

|||
</li> |
|||
<li>'''Source of notable entities for disambiguation, cataloging, tagging and more:''' Wikidata’s stable identifiers are used to clearly identify concepts in a language-independent manner. |
|||
<ul> |
|||
<li>[https://medium.com/occrp-unreported/an-%D0%B0%D0%BB%D0%B5%D0%BA%D1%81%D0%B0%D0%BD%D0%B4%D1%80-by-any-other-name-819525c82d8 <u>OCCRP</u>]: The Organized Crime and Corruption Reporting Project uses Wikidata’s Items and their labels in various languages to support their data analysis during reporting, specifically to gain a better understanding of the many different names under which a person or organization might be operating (and hiding behind).</li> |

We want all Wikimedia Projects and language versions of these projects to flourish; that’s the best and most effective path to giving every single human being access to the sum of all knowledge. To this end, we must support smaller and medium-size projects in particular and free them to rely on Wikidata as a source of basic data that is collectively maintained. |
|||
Currently, Wikidata and the other Wikimedia Projects are not tightly integrated, nor is the integration yet elaborate enough to take full advantage of this workload sharing. Wikidata benefits immensely from the efforts, expertise and experience of contributors from other Wikimedia Projects -- not only in keeping its data well maintained, but also in learning from community processes and other experiences that can be applied to Wikidata. |
|||
==== How might we address this? ==== |
|||
We can build out interfaces that allow users to edit Wikidata from the other Wikimedia Projects, e.g., Wikidata Bridge, as well as improving tools to monitor and moderate content relevant to a given project and supporting projects like Abstract Wikipedia, which rely on Wikidata’s data to provide content to readers in an automated fashion. |

===<div style="background:#97b314; color:white; padding-left:20px">Target groups</div>=== |
|||
===<div style="color:#97b314">Project shapers</div>=== |
|||
Project shapers have their effect on Wikidata by facilitating and taking part in fundamental processes and decision-making. They create the rules and structures that hold the project together and are typically at the core of the community, with deep, overall understanding and care for the project. |
|||
'''Concerns and needs''': Project shapers want to create processes and rules that others can and want to follow, so the project can scale and remain healthy. |
|||
'''Connection to strategy''': Project shapers are integral to '''empowering the community to increase data quality''', guiding the decision-making process required to come to agreements on data modeling and more. They play a crucial role in '''facilitating equity in decision-making''', ensuring that a diverse set of voices is heard and their perspectives considered. We can support project shapers by creating tools and artefacts that make project policies and guidelines more actionable, as well as by supporting the creation of inclusive and open processes and guidelines to increase knowledge equity. |
|||
===<div style="color:#97b314">Gardeners</div>=== |
|||
Gardeners bring Wikidata to life by enhancing Wikidata’s quality and enforcing the rules and agreed-upon structures. Typically, they have subject-matter expertise and care deeply about quality in their topic areas. |
|||
'''Concerns and needs''': Gardeners currently have more work to do than is humanly possible. They require tools, rules and processes that support their quality work and that ensure others can contribute positively. |
|||
'''Connection to strategy''': Gardeners are integral in empowering the community to increase data quality as those who tend the garden that is Wikidata. They also play an important role in '''increasing re-use for increased impact''', as consistently modeled data is vital for easier re-use. We can support gardeners by creating more powerful tools and artefacts that empower their work (user interfaces that encompass project guidelines, tools to incorporate feedback from re-users, automated verification, etc.) and by attracting more editors to the project in order to lessen the workload. |
|||
[[File:Items-editors.png|frame|centre|Growth graphs of Wikidata Items and editorship]] |
|||
===<div style="color:#97b314">Representatives of diverse knowledge</div>=== |
|||
Representatives of diverse knowledge share viewpoints that would otherwise be underrepresented in Wikidata’s data in the contexts of language and culture, among others, and they play an important part in bringing missing voices to the fundamental discussions shaping the project. |
|||
'''Concerns and needs''': Representatives of diverse knowledge want to see their otherwise underrepresented knowledge reflected in Wikidata and the wider open knowledge ecosystem; they want their voices to be heard in fundamental decisions that shape the project. |
|||
'''Connection to strategy''': Representatives of diverse knowledge are crucial in '''facilitating equity in decision making''' as those who bring important perspectives, which would otherwise be absent, to discussions and decision making processes. We can support representatives of diverse knowledge by growing expert communities in underrepresented areas, supporting project shapers and facilitators in making fundamental decisions and bringing in otherwise missing points of view. |
|||
===<div style="color:#97b314">Small and medium-size re-users</div>=== |
|||
Small and medium-size re-users are building products and services on top of Wikidata’s data. They often contribute back and use Wikidata to overcome the competitive disadvantage of not owning their own knowledge graph. |
|||
'''Concerns and needs''': Small and medium-size re-users are looking for data that is easy to access and use without the burden of collecting and maintaining it on their own. |
|||
'''Connection to strategy''': Small and medium-size re-users are vital for '''increasing re-use for increased impact''' as those who can build new, useful applications and services on top of Wikidata’s data, thereby increasing the impact of our data in the world. These re-users tend to be more closely aligned with Wikimedia’s mission and values and include many free and open knowledge projects. We can support small and medium-sized re-users by making it easier to use Wikidata’s data and to give back to the commons. |
|||
===<div style="color:#97b314">Large re-users</div>=== |
|||
Large re-users are global organizations that are integrating Wikidata’s data into the internal knowledge graphs driving their products and services. Typically, they are able to help us improve Wikidata’s data through their processes for user feedback and internal quality assurance. |
|||
'''Concerns and needs''': Large re-users want easy access to high-quality data and are seeking ways to contribute in a meaningful way. |
|||
'''Connection to strategy''': Large re-users are important for '''increasing re-use for increased impact''' and for '''empowering the community to increase data quality''': they reach billions of people with their applications and services, and they have the resources to support us in securing and increasing data quality. We can support large re-users by making it easier for them to give back -- for example, by showing them how they can participate in the necessary work of maintaining Wikidata and by providing defined tools and processes to report issues they discover as they perform internal quality assurance. |

===<div style="background:#97b314; color:white; padding-left:20px">Purpose</div>=== |
|||
Wikidata makes it easier than ever to build apps and services around Linked Open Data. It achieves this by empowering communities from all over the world to collaboratively collect and organize important data about the world. |
|||
===<div style="background:#97b314; color:white; padding-left:20px">Guiding principles</div>=== |
|||
<ul> |
|||
<li>'''Openness:''' Wikidata’s content is free and open for anyone to use; participation is open for everyone. Our products should lead to more free and open data, and everyone should be able to join our movement. We want to reduce barriers for new participants.</li> |
|||
<li>'''Sustainability:''' Wikidata is here to stay. It is important to us that the users of our data can have confidence in us, which is why we aim for sustainability over speedy growth and quick wins.</li> |
|||
<li>'''Co-creation''': Wikidata stands or falls based on the health of its amazing community. We prioritize providing the community with the tools and knowledge they need to find solutions that fit their needs, which will ensure that our community -- including future contributors and volunteers -- continues to have the power to care for Wikidata. Wikidata and its community are not alone. We are well connected to the other Wikimedia projects, and a growing ecosystem of tools and applications exists around Wikidata, the Wikibase Ecosystem, and the larger Linked Open Data web. Our positive impact in the world is strongest when we work together.</li> |
|||
<li>'''Utility:''' In order to have an impact on the world, Wikidata’s content must be used outside of Wikidata. Making sure Wikidata’s data is widely used means we must ensure it remains useful for re-users. This includes maintaining high-quality data as well as easy access to that data.</li> |
|||
<li>'''Knowledge equity:''' The world is beautiful and complex; Wikidata should reflect that. We want to make sure that Wikidata and its decision-making processes support equity.</li></ul> |
|||
===<div style="background:#97b314; color:white; padding-left:20px">Background info</div>=== |
|||
<u>[[wikidata:Wikidata:Introduction#https://linkedopendata.eu/wiki/Item:Q2645118|Wikidata is a free, collaborative, multilingual knowledge base with a focus on verifiability]]</u>. It collects structured data to provide support for Wikipedia, the other wikis in the Wikimedia movement, and anyone in the world with a need for general-purpose structured data. Wikidata is based on the Wikibase software and provides data, an ontology and links to other databases. |
|||
Wikidata’s data constitutes the basis for a wide variety of applications and services both inside and outside the Wikimedia movement. It is an increasingly important building block for much of the technology we use every day. |
|||
Wikidata has just turned nine years old and is thriving more than ever. We now need nine digits for our identifiers (<u>[[wmfblog:2020/10/06/wikidata-reaches-q100000000/https://linkedopendata.eu/wiki/Item:Q2645118|welcome Q100000001]]</u>), and this summer we crossed the 1.5-billion edit mark. A full 72% of Wikipedia articles use Wikidata for infobox content, auto-categorization, flagging maintenance work and other support functionality, not to mention site links, which are used in 97% of all Wikipedia articles. The Wikidata Query Service sees 11 million queries per day. Wikidata has also successfully expanded into the area of lexicographical data, forming the basis for new initiatives such as Abstract Wikipedia. |
|||
=== Examples of current Wikidata use === |
|||
Wikidata offers basic building blocks that can be used in various ways. Here are some examples of how Wikidata’s various types of content are currently used: |
|||
<ul> |
|||
<li>'''Accessing basic information:''' These projects use Wikidata to retrieve basic data on specific entities. |
|||
<ul> |
|||
<li>[http://auregann.fr/derdiedas/ <u>DerDieDas</u>]: This game uses data from Wikidata’s Lexemes to instruct users in the correct articles for German nouns.</li> |
|||
<li>[https://store.kde.org/p/1389861 <u>MyCroft AI</u>]: This digital personal assistant accesses data from Wikidata to answer general-knowledge questions.</li> |
|||
<li>[https://search.brave.com/search?q=Berlin <u>Brave search</u>]: This search engine uses data from Wikidata to show information boxes in their search results.</li></ul> |
|||
</li> |
|||
<li>'''Augmenting other data:''' These projects use Wikidata to retrieve data that enriches data they already have. |
|||
<ul> |
|||
<li>[https://musicbrainz.org/area/08310658-51eb-3801-80de-5a0739207115 <u>Musicbrainz</u>]: This music encyclopedia augments their music data with Wikidata’s data on concepts (e.g., countries) that are related to but not an essential part of their knowledge area.</li> |
|||
<li>[https://kanopi.io <u>Kanopi</u>]: This semantic note-taking application allows users to link to Wikidata Items and easily augment their notes with data from Wikidata.</li> |
|||
<li>[https://twitter.com/openlibrary/status/1274104107851083776 <u>OpenLibrary</u>]: This book-tracking website uses Wikidata to retrieve data on the gender, origin and other attributes of the authors in their catalog, allowing them to provide their readers with statistics on biases in their reading behavior.</li></ul> |
|||
</li> |
|||
<li>'''Machine learning:''' These projects use Wikidata as a source of training data for machine-learning systems. |
|||
<ul> |
|||
<li>[http://ceur-ws.org/Vol-2535/paper_7.pdf <u>Exploration of historical theatre photographs</u>]: Researchers used Wikidata’s data in support of a machine-learning system that performs image recognition on a collection of old theatre photographs. Wikidata’s data facilitated plausibility checks. If the image detection algorithm recognized, for example, a laptop in a historic photo, it would be marked as highly unlikely, based on when laptops were invented.</li> |
|||
<li><u>[https://openai.com/blog/discovering-types-for-entity-disambiguation/https://linkedopendata.eu/wiki/Item:Q2645118 OpenAI]</u>: One of OpenAI’s machine-learning systems uses data from Wikidata to perform entity disambiguation: helping a computer differentiate between two entities with the same name mentioned in a text -- for example, distinguishing between Jaguar (the make of automobile) and a jaguar (the animal).</li> |
|||
<li>[https://demo.txtwerk.de/txt-demo/ <u>TXT Werk</u>]: This company is using Wikidata’s data and entities as a basis for their named-entity recognition tool, which allows users to extract entities from a given text and identify them by their Q-ID.</li></ul> |
|||
</li> |
|||
<li>'''Data cleaning and reconciliation:''' Wikidata’s statements and ontology are used to connect and clean up a data set. |
|||
<ul> |
|||
<li>[https://quoraontology.quora.com/Wikidata-and-Quora-Topics <u>Quora</u>]: Their question-answering side uses connections to Wikidata to compare their ontology to Wikidata’s and then correct mistakes in both ontologies.</li></ul> |
|||
</li> |
|||
<li>'''Data exploration and visualization:''' Wikidata’s data is used to give new insights and overviews in areas such as journalism, education and research. |
|||
<ul> |
|||
<li>[https://polmeth2020.org/measuring-political-elite-networks-wikidata <u>Measuring Political Elite Networks</u>]: This researcher uses the entities for elite organizations and persons and the connections between them to better understand how political power networks across the world work.</li> |
|||
<li>[https://equalstreetnames.brussels <u>EqualStreetNames.Brussels</u>]: This website uses Wikidata’s gender data to explore biases in who streets are named after in Brussels. Similar websites exist for a few other cities.</li> |
|||
<li>[https://openartbrowser.org/ <u>Open Art Browser</u>]: This art website lets users explore visual art across time, movements, locations, motifs and more.</li></ul> |
|||
</li> |
|||
<li>'''Gateway to LOD web:''' Wikidata’s links to other websites, catalogs, archives and more are used to access additional information. |
|||
<ul> |
|||
<li>[https://thesciencemuseum.github.io/heritageconnector/post/2020/09/23/sidestepping-the-limitations-of-collections-catalogues-with-machine-learning-and-wikidata/ <u>The Science Museum</u>]: This museum uses Wikidata as a “Rosetta Stone” to provide links to other datasets, to ingest content from those datasets, and to provide richer interfaces to their collection.</li></ul> |
|||
</li> |
|||
<li>'''Source of notable entities for disambiguation, cataloging, tagging and more:''' Wikidata’s stable identifiers are used to clearly identify concepts in a language-independent manner. |
|||
<ul> |
|||
<li>[https://medium.com/occrp-unreported/an-%D0%B0%D0%BB%D0%B5%D0%BA%D1%81%D0%B0%D0%BD%D0%B4%D1%80-by-any-other-name-819525c82d8 <u>OCCRP</u>]: The Organized Crime and Corruption Reporting Project uses Wikidata’s Items and their labels in various languages to support their data analysis during reporting, specifically to gain a better understanding of the many different names under which a person or organization might be operating (and hiding behind).</li> |
|||
<li>[https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Hauptseite <u>Wikimedia Commons</u>]: Wikimedia’s media site uses Wikidata’s IDs and concepts for sophisticated image tagging to enable better exploration of its media archive.</li> |
|||
<li>[https://www.reddit.com/ <u>Reddit</u>]: This community discussion site uses Wikidata’s IDs and concepts to better understand what their subcommunities are about and enable better recommendations for subcommunities to join.</li> |
|||
<li>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ALy6e7GbDRQ <u>Tom Scott</u>]: This science YouTuber tried to determine the best thing ever by running a survey among his viewers. He used Wikidata as his source of concepts to be voted on.</li></ul> |
|||
</li> |
|||
<li>'''Internationalization:''' Wikidata is used as a source of names for various concepts across languages. |

</li></ul> |
|||
===<div style="background:#97b314; color:white; padding-left:20px">Strategies</div>=== |
|||
===<div style="color:#97b314">Empower the community to increase data quality</div>=== |
|||
We must ensure that our socio-technical system helps editors increase the quality of Wikidata’s existing data and contribute new high-quality data. |
|||
==== Why focus here? ==== |
|||
We want and need Wikidata’s data to be accurate and verifiable, especially as more and more technology in everyday use relies on our data in providing applications and services. This state of affairs places increased pressure on Wikidata to provide high-quality data and increases the incentives to manipulate our data. Meanwhile, the growth of Wikidata’s content is outpacing the community’s own growth and its ability to maintain that content. |
|||
==== How might we address this? ==== |
|||
We can establish feedback loops with data re-users, perform automated verification of data and issue detection, and develop tools and artefacts that make project policies and guidelines easier to implement (e.g., more powerful Entity Schemas). |
|||
===<div style="color:#97b314">Facilitate equity in decision making</div>=== |
|||
We want to ensure that diverse perspectives come into play as fundamental decisions are made for and about Wikidata. By doing so we can better support knowledge often underrepresented in knowledge graphs. |
|||
==== Why focus here? ==== |
|||
We are committed to equity within Wikidata, and it plays an especially important role in our fundamental decision-making processes. |
|||
==== How might we address this? ==== |
|||
We can address this by amplifying voices that are raising awareness and by bringing perspectives to the discussion that have so far been missing from it. We can create spaces for discussion and help with facilitation. |
|||
===<div style="color:#97b314">Increase re-use for increased impact</div>=== |
|||
We want to make sure that anyone can use the data in Wikidata to make the world a better place. While everyone can re-use our data, we give priority to organizations and projects that align with our values and have a high impact. |
|||
==== Why focus here? ==== |
|||
We want more people to benefit from the data Wikidata provides. High-impact projects that are aligned with our vision and values, along with re-users giving back to Wikidata, provide a greater collective benefit simply by reaching more people. |
|||
==== How might we address this? ==== |
|||
We can leverage our new and improved APIs and our improved documentation and showcases and throw more support behind high-impact re-users: namely, educational re-users, those working towards knowledge equity and those that give back. |
|||
===<div style="color:#97b314">Strengthen underrepresented languages</div>=== |
|||
More people need access to knowledge and technology presented in their own language, and content in that language should be accessible to all. Language data is a fundamental building block in reaching that goal. |
|||
==== Why focus here? ==== |
|||
The underrepresentation of some languages in the realms of technology and of knowledge in general constitutes a significant barrier to granting as many people as possible access to the world’s knowledge in their own language. |
|||
==== How might we address this? ==== |
|||
A direct path to improving that situation would be to increase access to multilingual machine-readable data, which would then serve as a basis for apps and services. Improving the user interface for lexicographical data and making lexicographical data accessible in Wiktionary will go some way toward that goal. |
|||
===<div style="color:#97b314">Enable Wikimedia Projects to share their workload</div>=== |
|||
The Wikimedia Projects should be able to rely on Wikidata to share their workload across language and project family boundaries. |
|||
==== Why focus here? ==== |
|||
We want all Wikimedia Projects and language versions of these projects to flourish; that’s the best and most effective path to giving every single human being access to the sum of all knowledge. To this end, we must support smaller and medium-size projects in particular and free them to rely on Wikidata as a source of basic data that is collectively maintained. |
|||
Currently, Wikidata and the other Wikimedia Projects are not tightly integrated, nor is the integration yet elaborate enough to take full advantage of this workload sharing. Wikidata benefits immensely from the efforts, expertise and experience of contributors from other Wikimedia Projects -- not only in keeping its data well maintained, but also in learning from community processes and other experiences that can be applied to Wikidata. |
|||
==== How might we address this? ==== |
|||
We can build out interfaces that allow users to edit Wikidata from the other Wikimedia Projects, e.g., Wikidata Bridge, as well as improving tools to monitor and moderate content relevant to a given project and supporting projects like Abstract Wikipedia, which rely on Wikidata’s data to provide content to readers in an automated fashion. |

===<div style="background:#97b314; color:white; padding-left:20px">Target groups</div>=== |
|||
===<div style="color:#97b314">Project shapers</div>=== |
|||
Project shapers have their effect on Wikidata by facilitating and taking part in fundamental processes and decision-making. They create the rules and structures that hold the project together and are typically at the core of the community, with deep, overall understanding and care for the project. |
|||
'''Concerns and needs''': Project shapers want to create processes and rules that others can and want to follow, so the project can scale and remain healthy. |
|||

'''Connection to strategy''': Gardeners are integral in empowering the community to increase data quality as those who tend the garden that is Wikidata. They also play an important role in '''increasing re-use for increased impact''', as consistently modeled data is vital for easier re-use. We can support gardeners by creating more powerful tools and artefacts that empower their work (user interfaces that encompass project guidelines, tools to incorporate feedback from re-users, automated verification, etc.) and by attracting more editors to the project in order to lessen the workload. |

===<div style="color:#97b314">Representatives of diverse knowledge</div>=== |
|||
Representatives of diverse knowledge share viewpoints that would otherwise be underrepresented in Wikidata’s data in the contexts of language and culture, among others, and they play an important part in bringing missing voices to the fundamental discussions shaping the project. |
|||
'''Concerns and needs''': Representatives of diverse knowledge want to see their otherwise underrepresented knowledge reflected in Wikidata and the wider open knowledge ecosystem; they want their voices to be heard in fundamental decisions that shape the project. |
|||
'''Connection to strategy''': Representatives of diverse knowledge are crucial in '''facilitating equity in decision making''' as those who bring important perspectives, which would otherwise be absent, to discussions and decision making processes. We can support representatives of diverse knowledge by growing expert communities in underrepresented areas, supporting project shapers and facilitators in making fundamental decisions and bringing in otherwise missing points of view. |
|||
===<div style="color:#97b314">Small and medium-size re-users</div>=== |
|||
Small and medium-size re-users are building products and services on top of Wikidata’s data. They often contribute back and use Wikidata to overcome the competitive disadvantage of not owning their own knowledge graph. |
|||
'''Concerns and needs''': Small and medium-size re-users are looking for data that is easy to access and use without the burden of collecting and maintaining it on their own. |
|||
'''Connection to strategy''': Small and medium-size re-users are vital for '''increasing re-use for increased impact''' as those who can build new, useful applications and services on top of Wikidata’s data, thereby increasing the impact of our data in the world. These re-users tend to be more closely aligned with Wikimedia’s mission and values and include many free and open knowledge projects. We can support small and medium-sized re-users by making it easier to use Wikidata’s data and to give back to the commons. |
|||
===<div style="color:#97b314">Large re-users</div>=== |
|||
Large re-users are global organizations that are integrating Wikidata’s data into the internal knowledge graphs driving their products and services. Typically, they are able to help us improve Wikidata’s data through their processes for user feedback and internal quality assurance. |
|||
'''Concerns and needs''': Large re-users want easy access to high-quality data and are seeking ways to contribute in a meaningful way. |
|||
'''Connection to strategy''': Large re-users are important for '''increasing re-use for increased impact''' and for '''empowering the community to increase data quality''': they reach billions of people with their applications and services, and they have the resources to support us in securing and increasing data quality. We can support large re-users by making it easier for them to give back -- for example, by showing them how they can participate in the necessary work of maintaining Wikidata and by providing defined tools and processes to report issues they discover as they perform internal quality assurance. |

===<div style="background:#97b314; color:white; padding-left:20px">Purpose</div>=== |
|||
Wikidata makes it easier than ever to build apps and services around Linked Open Data. It achieves this by empowering communities from all over the world to collaboratively collect and organize important data about the world. |
|||
===<div style="background:#97b314; color:white; padding-left:20px">Guiding principles</div>=== |
|||
<ul> |
|||
<li>'''Openness:''' Wikidata’s content is free and open for anyone to use; participation is open for everyone. Our products should lead to more free and open data, and everyone should be able to join our movement. We want to reduce barriers for new participants.</li> |
|||
<li>'''Sustainability:''' Wikidata is here to stay. It is important to us that the users of our data can have confidence in us, which is why we aim for sustainability over speedy growth and quick wins.</li> |
|||
<li>'''Co-creation''': Wikidata stands or falls based on the health of its amazing community. We prioritize providing the community with the tools and knowledge they need to find solutions that fit their needs, which will ensure that our community -- including future contributors and volunteers -- continues to have the power to care for Wikidata. Wikidata and its community are not alone. We are well connected to the other Wikimedia projects, and a growing ecosystem of tools and applications exists around Wikidata, the Wikibase Ecosystem, and the larger Linked Open Data web. Our positive impact in the world is strongest when we work together.</li> |
|||
<li>'''Utility:''' In order to have an impact on the world, Wikidata’s content must be used outside of Wikidata. Making sure Wikidata’s data is widely used means we must ensure it remains useful for re-users. This includes maintaining high-quality data as well as easy access to that data.</li> |
|||
<li>'''Knowledge equity:''' The world is beautiful and complex; Wikidata should reflect that. We want to make sure that Wikidata and its decision-making processes support equity.</li></ul> |
|||
===<div style="background:#97b314; color:white; padding-left:20px">Background info</div>=== |
|||
<u>[[wikidata:Wikidata:Introduction#https://linkedopendata.eu/wiki/Item:Q2645118|Wikidata is a free, collaborative, multilingual knowledge base with a focus on verifiability]]</u>. It collects structured data to provide support for Wikipedia, the other wikis in the Wikimedia movement, and anyone in the world with a need for general-purpose structured data. Wikidata is based on the Wikibase software and provides data, an ontology and links to other databases. |
|||
Wikidata’s data constitutes the basis for a wide variety of applications and services both inside and outside the Wikimedia movement. It is an increasingly important building block for much of the technology we use every day. |
|||
Wikidata has just turned nine years old and is thriving more than ever. We now need nine digits for our identifiers (<u>[[wmfblog:2020/10/06/wikidata-reaches-q100000000/https://linkedopendata.eu/wiki/Item:Q2645118|welcome Q100000001]]</u>), and this summer we crossed the 1.5-billion edit mark. A full 72% of Wikipedia articles use Wikidata for infobox content, auto-categorization, flagging maintenance work and other support functionality, not to mention site links, which are used in 97% of all Wikipedia articles. The Wikidata Query Service sees 11 million queries per day. Wikidata has also successfully expanded into the area of lexicographical data, forming the basis for new initiatives such as Abstract Wikipedia. |
|||
=== Examples of current Wikidata use === |
|||
Wikidata offers basic building blocks that can be used in various ways. Here are some examples of how Wikidata’s various types of content are currently used: |
|||
<ul> |
|||
<li>'''Accessing basic information:''' These projects use Wikidata to retrieve basic data on specific entities. |
|||
<ul> |
|||
<li>[http://auregann.fr/derdiedas/ <u>DerDieDas</u>]: This game uses data from Wikidata’s Lexemes to instruct users in the correct articles for German nouns.</li> |
|||
<li>[https://store.kde.org/p/1389861 <u>MyCroft AI</u>]: This digital personal assistant accesses data from Wikidata to answer general-knowledge questions.</li> |
|||
<li>[https://search.brave.com/search?q=Berlin <u>Brave search</u>]: This search engine uses data from Wikidata to show information boxes in their search results.</li></ul> |
|||
</li> |
|||
<li>'''Augmenting other data:''' These projects use Wikidata to retrieve data that enriches data they already have. |
|||
<ul> |
|||
<li>[https://musicbrainz.org/area/08310658-51eb-3801-80de-5a0739207115 <u>Musicbrainz</u>]: This music encyclopedia augments their music data with Wikidata’s data on concepts (e.g., countries) that are related to but not an essential part of their knowledge area.</li> |
|||
<li>[https://kanopi.io <u>Kanopi</u>]: This semantic note-taking application allows users to link to Wikidata Items and easily augment their notes with data from Wikidata.</li> |
|||
<li>[https://twitter.com/openlibrary/status/1274104107851083776 <u>OpenLibrary</u>]: This book-tracking website uses Wikidata to retrieve data on the gender, origin and other attributes of the authors in their catalog, allowing them to provide their readers with statistics on biases in their reading behavior.</li></ul> |
|||
</li> |
|||
<li>'''Machine learning:''' These projects use Wikidata as a source of training data for machine-learning systems. |
|||
<ul> |
|||
<li>[http://ceur-ws.org/Vol-2535/paper_7.pdf <u>Exploration of historical theatre photographs</u>]: Researchers used Wikidata’s data in support of a machine-learning system that performs image recognition on a collection of old theatre photographs. Wikidata’s data facilitated plausibility checks. If the image detection algorithm recognized, for example, a laptop in a historic photo, it would be marked as highly unlikely, based on when laptops were invented.</li> |
|||
<li><u>[https://openai.com/blog/discovering-types-for-entity-disambiguation/https://linkedopendata.eu/wiki/Item:Q2645118 OpenAI]</u>: One of OpenAI’s machine-learning systems uses data from Wikidata to perform entity disambiguation: helping a computer differentiate between two entities with the same name mentioned in a text -- for example, distinguishing between Jaguar (the make of automobile) and a jaguar (the animal).</li> |
|||
<li>[https://demo.txtwerk.de/txt-demo/ <u>TXT Werk</u>]: This company is using Wikidata’s data and entities as a basis for their named-entity recognition tool, which allows users to extract entities from a given text and identify them by their Q-ID.</li></ul> |
|||
</li> |
|||
<li>'''Data cleaning and reconciliation:''' Wikidata’s statements and ontology are used to connect and clean up a data set. |
|||
<ul> |
|||
<li>[https://quoraontology.quora.com/Wikidata-and-Quora-Topics <u>Quora</u>]: Their question-answering side uses connections to Wikidata to compare their ontology to Wikidata’s and then correct mistakes in both ontologies.</li></ul> |
|||
</li> |
|||
<li>'''Data exploration and visualization:''' Wikidata’s data is used to give new insights and overviews in areas such as journalism, education and research. |
|||
<ul> |
|||
<li>[https://polmeth2020.org/measuring-political-elite-networks-wikidata <u>Measuring Political Elite Networks</u>]: This researcher uses the entities for elite organizations and persons and the connections between them to better understand how political power networks across the world work.</li> |
|||
<li>[https://equalstreetnames.brussels <u>EqualStreetNames.Brussels</u>]: This website uses Wikidata’s gender data to explore biases in who streets are named after in Brussels. Similar websites exist for a few other cities.</li> |
|||
<li>[https://openartbrowser.org/ <u>Open Art Browser</u>]: This art website lets users explore visual art across time, movements, locations, motifs and more.</li></ul> |
|||
</li> |
|||
<li>'''Gateway to LOD web:''' Wikidata’s links to other websites, catalogs, archives and more are used to access additional information. |
|||
<ul> |
|||
<li>[https://thesciencemuseum.github.io/heritageconnector/post/2020/09/23/sidestepping-the-limitations-of-collections-catalogues-with-machine-learning-and-wikidata/ <u>The Science Museum</u>]: This museum uses Wikidata as a “Rosetta Stone” to provide links to other datasets, to ingest content from those datasets, and to provide richer interfaces to their collection.</li></ul> |
|||
</li> |
|||
<li>'''Source of notable entities for disambiguation, cataloging, tagging and more:''' Wikidata’s stable identifiers are used to clearly identify concepts in a language-independent manner. |
|||
<ul> |
|||
<li>[https://medium.com/occrp-unreported/an-%D0%B0%D0%BB%D0%B5%D0%BA%D1%81%D0%B0%D0%BD%D0%B4%D1%80-by-any-other-name-819525c82d8 <u>OCCRP</u>]: The Organized Crime and Corruption Reporting Project uses Wikidata’s Items and their labels in various languages to support their data analysis during reporting, specifically to gain a better understanding of the many different names under which a person or organization might be operating (and hiding behind).</li> |
|||
<li>[https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Hauptseite <u>Wikimedia Commons</u>]: Wikimedia’s media site uses Wikidata’s IDs and concepts for sophisticated image tagging to enable better exploration of its media archive.</li> |

===<div style="background:#97b314; color:white; padding-left:20px">Strategies</div>=== |
|||
===<div style="color:#97b314">Empower the community to increase data quality</div>=== |
|||
We must ensure that our socio-technical system helps editors increase the quality of Wikidata’s existing data and contribute new high-quality data. |
|||
==== Why focus here? ==== |
|||
We want and need Wikidata’s data to be accurate and verifiable, especially as more and more technology in everyday use relies on our data in providing applications and services. This state of affairs places increased pressure on Wikidata to provide high-quality data and increases the incentives to manipulate our data. Meanwhile, the growth of Wikidata’s content is outpacing the community’s own growth and its ability to maintain that content. |
|||
==== How might we address this? ==== |
|||
We can establish feedback loops with data re-users, perform automated verification of data and issue detection, and develop tools and artefacts that make project policies and guidelines easier to implement (e.g., more powerful Entity Schemas). |
|||
===<div style="color:#97b314">Facilitate equity in decision making</div>=== |
|||
We want to ensure that diverse perspectives come into play as fundamental decisions are made for and about Wikidata. By doing so we can better support knowledge often underrepresented in knowledge graphs. |
|||
==== Why focus here? ==== |
|||
We are committed to equity within Wikidata, and it plays an especially important role in our fundamental decision-making processes. |
|||
==== How might we address this? ==== |
|||
We can address this by amplifying voices that are raising awareness and by bringing perspectives to the discussion that have so far been missing from it. We can create spaces for discussion and help with facilitation. |
|||
===<div style="color:#97b314">Increase re-use for increased impact</div>=== |
|||
We want to make sure that anyone can use the data in Wikidata to make the world a better place. While everyone can re-use our data, we give priority to organizations and projects that align with our values and have a high impact. |
|||
==== Why focus here? ==== |
|||
We want more people to benefit from the data Wikidata provides. High-impact projects that are aligned with our vision and values, along with re-users giving back to Wikidata, provide a greater collective benefit simply by reaching more people. |
|||
==== How might we address this? ==== |
|||
We can leverage our new and improved APIs and our improved documentation and showcases and throw more support behind high-impact re-users: namely, educational re-users, those working towards knowledge equity and those that give back. |
|||
===<div style="color:#97b314">Strengthen underrepresented languages</div>=== |
|||
More people need access to knowledge and technology presented in their own language, and content in that language should be accessible to all. Language data is a fundamental building block in reaching that goal. |
|||
==== Why focus here? ==== |
|||
The underrepresentation of some languages in the realms of technology and of knowledge in general constitutes a significant barrier to granting as many people as possible access to the world’s knowledge in their own language. |
|||
==== How might we address this? ==== |
|||
A direct path to improving that situation would be to increase access to multilingual machine-readable data, which would then serve as a basis for apps and services. Improving the user interface for lexicographical data and making lexicographical data accessible in Wiktionary will go some way toward that goal. |
|||
===<div style="color:#97b314">Enable Wikimedia Projects to share their workload</div>=== |
|||
The Wikimedia Projects should be able to rely on Wikidata to share their workload across language and project family boundaries. |
|||
==== Why focus here? ==== |
|||
We want all Wikimedia Projects and language versions of these projects to flourish; that’s the best and most effective path to giving every single human being access to the sum of all knowledge. To this end, we must support smaller and medium-size projects in particular and free them to rely on Wikidata as a source of basic data that is collectively maintained. |
|||
Currently, Wikidata and the other Wikimedia Projects are not tightly integrated, nor is the integration yet elaborate enough to take full advantage of this workload sharing. Wikidata benefits immensely from the efforts, expertise and experience of contributors from other Wikimedia Projects -- not only in keeping its data well maintained, but also in learning from community processes and other experiences that can be applied to Wikidata. |
|||
==== How might we address this? ==== |
|||
We can build out interfaces that allow users to edit Wikidata from the other Wikimedia Projects, e.g., Wikidata Bridge, as well as improving tools to monitor and moderate content relevant to a given project and supporting projects like Abstract Wikipedia, which rely on Wikidata’s data to provide content to readers in an automated fashion. |
|||
===<div style="background:#97b314; color:white; padding-left:20px">Target groups</div>=== |
|||
===<div style="color:#97b314">Project shapers</div>=== |
|||
Project shapers have their effect on Wikidata by facilitating and taking part in fundamental processes and decision-making. They create the rules and structures that hold the project together and are typically at the core of the community, with deep, overall understanding and care for the project. |
|||
'''Concerns and needs''': Project shapers want to create processes and rules that others can and want to follow, so the project can scale and remain healthy. |
|||
'''Connection to strategy''': Project shapers are integral to '''empowering the community to increase data quality''', guiding the decision-making process required to come to agreements on data modeling and more. They play a crucial role in '''facilitating equity in decision-making''', ensuring that a diverse set of voices is heard and their perspectives considered. We can support project shapers by creating tools and artefacts that make project policies and guidelines more actionable, as well as by supporting the creation of inclusive and open processes and guidelines to increase knowledge equity. |
|||
===<div style="color:#97b314">Gardeners</div>=== |
|||
Gardeners bring Wikidata to life by enhancing Wikidata’s quality and enforcing the rules and agreed-upon structures. Typically, they have subject-matter expertise and care deeply about quality in their topic areas. |
|||
'''Concerns and needs''': Gardeners currently have more work to do than is humanly possible. They require tools, rules and processes that support their quality work and that ensure others can contribute positively. |
|||
'''Connection to strategy''': Gardeners are integral in empowering the community to increase data quality as those who tend the garden that is Wikidata. They also play an important role in '''increasing re-use for increased impact''', as consistently modeled data is vital for easier re-use. We can support gardeners by creating more powerful tools and artefacts that empower their work (user interfaces that encompass project guidelines, tools to incorporate feedback from re-users, automated verification, etc.) and by attracting more editors to the project in order to lessen the workload. |
|||
[[File:Items-editors.png|frame|centre|Growth graphs of Wikidata Items and editorship]] |
|||
===<div style="color:#97b314">Representatives of diverse knowledge</div>=== |
|||
Representatives of diverse knowledge share viewpoints that would otherwise be underrepresented in Wikidata’s data in the contexts of language and culture, among others, and they play an important part in bringing missing voices to the fundamental discussions shaping the project. |
|||
'''Concerns and needs''': Representatives of diverse knowledge want to see their otherwise underrepresented knowledge reflected in Wikidata and the wider open knowledge ecosystem; they want their voices to be heard in fundamental decisions that shape the project. |
|||
'''Connection to strategy''': Representatives of diverse knowledge are crucial in '''facilitating equity in decision making''' as those who bring important perspectives, which would otherwise be absent, to discussions and decision making processes. We can support representatives of diverse knowledge by growing expert communities in underrepresented areas, supporting project shapers and facilitators in making fundamental decisions and bringing in otherwise missing points of view. |
|||
===<div style="color:#97b314">Small and medium-size re-users</div>=== |
|||
Small and medium-size re-users are building products and services on top of Wikidata’s data. They often contribute back and use Wikidata to overcome the competitive disadvantage of not owning their own knowledge graph. |
|||
'''Concerns and needs''': Small and medium-size re-users are looking for data that is easy to access and use without the burden of collecting and maintaining it on their own. |
|||
'''Connection to strategy''': Small and medium-size re-users are vital for '''increasing re-use for increased impact''' as those who can build new, useful applications and services on top of Wikidata’s data, thereby increasing the impact of our data in the world. These re-users tend to be more closely aligned with Wikimedia’s mission and values and include many free and open knowledge projects. We can support small and medium-sized re-users by making it easier to use Wikidata’s data and to give back to the commons. |
|||
===<div style="color:#97b314">Large re-users</div>=== |
|||
Large re-users are global organizations that are integrating Wikidata’s data into the internal knowledge graphs driving their products and services. Typically, they are able to help us improve Wikidata’s data through their processes for user feedback and internal quality assurance. |
|||
'''Concerns and needs''': Large re-users want easy access to high-quality data and are seeking ways to contribute in a meaningful way. |
|||
'''Connection to strategy''': Large re-users are important for '''increasing re-use for increased impact''' and for '''empowering the community to increase data quality''': they reach billions of people with their applications and services, and they have the resources to support us in securing and increasing data quality. We can support large re-users by making it easier for them to give back -- for example, by showing them how they can participate in the necessary work of maintaining Wikidata and by providing defined tools and processes to report issues they discover as they perform internal quality assurance. |

|||
</li> |
|||
<li>'''Source of notable entities for disambiguation, cataloging, tagging and more:''' Wikidata’s stable identifiers are used to clearly identify concepts in a language-independent manner. |
|||
<ul> |
|||
<li>[https://medium.com/occrp-unreported/an-%D0%B0%D0%BB%D0%B5%D0%BA%D1%81%D0%B0%D0%BD%D0%B4%D1%80-by-any-other-name-819525c82d8 <u>OCCRP</u>]: The Organized Crime and Corruption Reporting Project uses Wikidata’s Items and their labels in various languages to support their data analysis during reporting, specifically to gain a better understanding of the many different names under which a person or organization might be operating (and hiding behind).</li> |

===<div style="background:#97b314; color:white; padding-left:20px">Strategies</div>=== |
|||
===<div style="color:#97b314">Empower the community to increase data quality</div>=== |
|||
We must ensure that our socio-technical system helps editors increase the quality of Wikidata’s existing data and contribute new high-quality data. |
|||
==== Why focus here? ==== |
|||
We want and need Wikidata’s data to be accurate and verifiable, especially as more and more technology in everyday use relies on our data in providing applications and services. This state of affairs places increased pressure on Wikidata to provide high-quality data and increases the incentives to manipulate our data. Meanwhile, the growth of Wikidata’s content is outpacing the community’s own growth and its ability to maintain that content. |
|||
==== How might we address this? ==== |
|||
We can establish feedback loops with data re-users, perform automated verification of data and issue detection, and develop tools and artefacts that make project policies and guidelines easier to implement (e.g., more powerful Entity Schemas). |
|||
===<div style="color:#97b314">Facilitate equity in decision making</div>=== |
|||
We want to ensure that diverse perspectives come into play as fundamental decisions are made for and about Wikidata. By doing so we can better support knowledge often underrepresented in knowledge graphs. |
|||
==== Why focus here? ==== |
|||
We are committed to equity within Wikidata, and it plays an especially important role in our fundamental decision-making processes. |
|||
==== How might we address this? ==== |
|||
We can address this by amplifying voices that are raising awareness and by bringing perspectives to the discussion that have so far been missing from it. We can create spaces for discussion and help with facilitation. |
|||
===<div style="color:#97b314">Increase re-use for increased impact</div>=== |
|||
We want to make sure that anyone can use the data in Wikidata to make the world a better place. While everyone can re-use our data, we give priority to organizations and projects that align with our values and have a high impact. |
|||
==== Why focus here? ==== |
|||
We want more people to benefit from the data Wikidata provides. High-impact projects that are aligned with our vision and values, along with re-users giving back to Wikidata, provide a greater collective benefit simply by reaching more people. |
|||
==== How might we address this? ==== |
|||
We can leverage our new and improved APIs and our improved documentation and showcases and throw more support behind high-impact re-users: namely, educational re-users, those working towards knowledge equity and those that give back. |
|||
===<div style="color:#97b314">Strengthen underrepresented languages</div>=== |
|||
More people need access to knowledge and technology presented in their own language, and content in that language should be accessible to all. Language data is a fundamental building block in reaching that goal. |
|||
==== Why focus here? ==== |
|||
The underrepresentation of some languages in the realms of technology and of knowledge in general constitutes a significant barrier to granting as many people as possible access to the world’s knowledge in their own language. |
|||
==== How might we address this? ==== |
|||
A direct path to improving that situation would be to increase access to multilingual machine-readable data, which would then serve as a basis for apps and services. Improving the user interface for lexicographical data and making lexicographical data accessible in Wiktionary will go some way toward that goal. |
|||
===<div style="color:#97b314">Enable Wikimedia Projects to share their workload</div>=== |
|||
The Wikimedia Projects should be able to rely on Wikidata to share their workload across language and project family boundaries. |
|||
==== Why focus here? ==== |
|||
We want all Wikimedia Projects and language versions of these projects to flourish; that’s the best and most effective path to giving every single human being access to the sum of all knowledge. To this end, we must support smaller and medium-size projects in particular and free them to rely on Wikidata as a source of basic data that is collectively maintained. |
|||
Currently, Wikidata and the other Wikimedia Projects are not tightly integrated, nor is the integration yet elaborate enough to take full advantage of this workload sharing. Wikidata benefits immensely from the efforts, expertise and experience of contributors from other Wikimedia Projects -- not only in keeping its data well maintained, but also in learning from community processes and other experiences that can be applied to Wikidata. |
|||
==== How might we address this? ==== |
|||
We can build out interfaces that allow users to edit Wikidata from the other Wikimedia Projects, e.g., Wikidata Bridge, as well as improving tools to monitor and moderate content relevant to a given project and supporting projects like Abstract Wikipedia, which rely on Wikidata’s data to provide content to readers in an automated fashion. |
|||
===<div style="background:#97b314; color:white; padding-left:20px">Target groups</div>=== |
|||
===<div style="color:#97b314">Project shapers</div>=== |
|||
Project shapers have their effect on Wikidata by facilitating and taking part in fundamental processes and decision-making. They create the rules and structures that hold the project together and are typically at the core of the community, with deep, overall understanding and care for the project. |
|||
'''Concerns and needs''': Project shapers want to create processes and rules that others can and want to follow, so the project can scale and remain healthy. |
|||
'''Connection to strategy''': Project shapers are integral to '''empowering the community to increase data quality''', guiding the decision-making process required to come to agreements on data modeling and more. They play a crucial role in '''facilitating equity in decision-making''', ensuring that a diverse set of voices is heard and their perspectives considered. We can support project shapers by creating tools and artefacts that make project policies and guidelines more actionable, as well as by supporting the creation of inclusive and open processes and guidelines to increase knowledge equity. |
|||
===<div style="color:#97b314">Gardeners</div>=== |
|||
Gardeners bring Wikidata to life by enhancing Wikidata’s quality and enforcing the rules and agreed-upon structures. Typically, they have subject-matter expertise and care deeply about quality in their topic areas. |
|||
'''Concerns and needs''': Gardeners currently have more work to do than is humanly possible. They require tools, rules and processes that support their quality work and that ensure others can contribute positively. |
|||
'''Connection to strategy''': Gardeners are integral in empowering the community to increase data quality as those who tend the garden that is Wikidata. They also play an important role in '''increasing re-use for increased impact''', as consistently modeled data is vital for easier re-use. We can support gardeners by creating more powerful tools and artefacts that empower their work (user interfaces that encompass project guidelines, tools to incorporate feedback from re-users, automated verification, etc.) and by attracting more editors to the project in order to lessen the workload. |
|||
[[File:Items-editors.png|frame|centre|Growth graphs of Wikidata Items and editorship]] |
|||
===<div style="color:#97b314">Representatives of diverse knowledge</div>=== |
|||
Representatives of diverse knowledge share viewpoints that would otherwise be underrepresented in Wikidata’s data in the contexts of language and culture, among others, and they play an important part in bringing missing voices to the fundamental discussions shaping the project. |
|||
'''Concerns and needs''': Representatives of diverse knowledge want to see their otherwise underrepresented knowledge reflected in Wikidata and the wider open knowledge ecosystem; they want their voices to be heard in fundamental decisions that shape the project. |
|||
'''Connection to strategy''': Representatives of diverse knowledge are crucial in '''facilitating equity in decision making''' as those who bring important perspectives, which would otherwise be absent, to discussions and decision making processes. We can support representatives of diverse knowledge by growing expert communities in underrepresented areas, supporting project shapers and facilitators in making fundamental decisions and bringing in otherwise missing points of view. |
|||
===<div style="color:#97b314">Small and medium-size re-users</div>=== |
|||
Small and medium-size re-users are building products and services on top of Wikidata’s data. They often contribute back and use Wikidata to overcome the competitive disadvantage of not owning their own knowledge graph. |
|||
'''Concerns and needs''': Small and medium-size re-users are looking for data that is easy to access and use without the burden of collecting and maintaining it on their own. |
|||
'''Connection to strategy''': Small and medium-size re-users are vital for '''increasing re-use for increased impact''' as those who can build new, useful applications and services on top of Wikidata’s data, thereby increasing the impact of our data in the world. These re-users tend to be more closely aligned with Wikimedia’s mission and values and include many free and open knowledge projects. We can support small and medium-sized re-users by making it easier to use Wikidata’s data and to give back to the commons. |
|||
===<div style="color:#97b314">Large re-users</div>=== |
|||
Large re-users are global organizations that are integrating Wikidata’s data into the internal knowledge graphs driving their products and services. Typically, they are able to help us improve Wikidata’s data through their processes for user feedback and internal quality assurance. |
|||
'''Concerns and needs''': Large re-users want easy access to high-quality data and are seeking ways to contribute in a meaningful way. |
|||
'''Connection to strategy''': Large re-users are important for '''increasing re-use for increased impact''' and for '''empowering the community to increase data quality''': they reach billions of people with their applications and services, and they have the resources to support us in securing and increasing data quality. We can support large re-users by making it easier for them to give back -- for example, by showing them how they can participate in the necessary work of maintaining Wikidata and by providing defined tools and processes to report issues they discover as they perform internal quality assurance. |

===<div style="background:#97b314; color:white; padding-left:20px">Strategies</div>=== |
|||
===<div style="color:#97b314">Empower the community to increase data quality</div>=== |
|||
We must ensure that our socio-technical system helps editors increase the quality of Wikidata’s existing data and contribute new high-quality data. |
|||
==== Why focus here? ==== |
|||
We want and need Wikidata’s data to be accurate and verifiable, especially as more and more technology in everyday use relies on our data in providing applications and services. This state of affairs places increased pressure on Wikidata to provide high-quality data and increases the incentives to manipulate our data. Meanwhile, the growth of Wikidata’s content is outpacing the community’s own growth and its ability to maintain that content. |
|||
==== How might we address this? ==== |
|||
We can establish feedback loops with data re-users, perform automated verification of data and issue detection, and develop tools and artefacts that make project policies and guidelines easier to implement (e.g., more powerful Entity Schemas). |
|||
===<div style="color:#97b314">Facilitate equity in decision making</div>=== |
|||
We want to ensure that diverse perspectives come into play as fundamental decisions are made for and about Wikidata. By doing so we can better support knowledge often underrepresented in knowledge graphs. |
|||
==== Why focus here? ==== |
|||
We are committed to equity within Wikidata, and it plays an especially important role in our fundamental decision-making processes. |
|||
==== How might we address this? ==== |
|||
We can address this by amplifying voices that are raising awareness and by bringing perspectives to the discussion that have so far been missing from it. We can create spaces for discussion and help with facilitation. |
|||
===<div style="color:#97b314">Increase re-use for increased impact</div>=== |
|||
We want to make sure that anyone can use the data in Wikidata to make the world a better place. While everyone can re-use our data, we give priority to organizations and projects that align with our values and have a high impact. |
|||
==== Why focus here? ==== |
|||
We want more people to benefit from the data Wikidata provides. High-impact projects that are aligned with our vision and values, along with re-users giving back to Wikidata, provide a greater collective benefit simply by reaching more people. |
|||
==== How might we address this? ==== |
|||
We can leverage our new and improved APIs and our improved documentation and showcases and throw more support behind high-impact re-users: namely, educational re-users, those working towards knowledge equity and those that give back. |
|||
===<div style="color:#97b314">Strengthen underrepresented languages</div>=== |
|||
More people need access to knowledge and technology presented in their own language, and content in that language should be accessible to all. Language data is a fundamental building block in reaching that goal. |
|||
==== Why focus here? ==== |
|||
The underrepresentation of some languages in the realms of technology and of knowledge in general constitutes a significant barrier to granting as many people as possible access to the world’s knowledge in their own language. |
|||
==== How might we address this? ==== |
|||
A direct path to improving that situation would be to increase access to multilingual machine-readable data, which would then serve as a basis for apps and services. Improving the user interface for lexicographical data and making lexicographical data accessible in Wiktionary will go some way toward that goal. |
|||
===<div style="color:#97b314">Enable Wikimedia Projects to share their workload</div>=== |
|||
The Wikimedia Projects should be able to rely on Wikidata to share their workload across language and project family boundaries. |
|||
==== Why focus here? ==== |
|||
We want all Wikimedia Projects and language versions of these projects to flourish; that’s the best and most effective path to giving every single human being access to the sum of all knowledge. To this end, we must support smaller and medium-size projects in particular and free them to rely on Wikidata as a source of basic data that is collectively maintained. |
|||
Currently, Wikidata and the other Wikimedia Projects are not tightly integrated, nor is the integration yet elaborate enough to take full advantage of this workload sharing. Wikidata benefits immensely from the efforts, expertise and experience of contributors from other Wikimedia Projects -- not only in keeping its data well maintained, but also in learning from community processes and other experiences that can be applied to Wikidata. |
|||
==== How might we address this? ==== |
|||
We can build out interfaces that allow users to edit Wikidata from the other Wikimedia Projects, e.g., Wikidata Bridge, as well as improving tools to monitor and moderate content relevant to a given project and supporting projects like Abstract Wikipedia, which rely on Wikidata’s data to provide content to readers in an automated fashion. |
|||
===<div style="background:#97b314; color:white; padding-left:20px">Target groups</div>=== |
|||
===<div style="color:#97b314">Project shapers</div>=== |
|||
Project shapers have their effect on Wikidata by facilitating and taking part in fundamental processes and decision-making. They create the rules and structures that hold the project together and are typically at the core of the community, with deep, overall understanding and care for the project. |
|||
'''Concerns and needs''': Project shapers want to create processes and rules that others can and want to follow, so the project can scale and remain healthy. |
|||
'''Connection to strategy''': Project shapers are integral to '''empowering the community to increase data quality''', guiding the decision-making process required to come to agreements on data modeling and more. They play a crucial role in '''facilitating equity in decision-making''', ensuring that a diverse set of voices is heard and their perspectives considered. We can support project shapers by creating tools and artefacts that make project policies and guidelines more actionable, as well as by supporting the creation of inclusive and open processes and guidelines to increase knowledge equity. |
|||
===<div style="color:#97b314">Gardeners</div>=== |
|||
Gardeners bring Wikidata to life by enhancing Wikidata’s quality and enforcing the rules and agreed-upon structures. Typically, they have subject-matter expertise and care deeply about quality in their topic areas. |
|||
'''Concerns and needs''': Gardeners currently have more work to do than is humanly possible. They require tools, rules and processes that support their quality work and that ensure others can contribute positively. |
|||
'''Connection to strategy''': Gardeners are integral in empowering the community to increase data quality as those who tend the garden that is Wikidata. They also play an important role in '''increasing re-use for increased impact''', as consistently modeled data is vital for easier re-use. We can support gardeners by creating more powerful tools and artefacts that empower their work (user interfaces that encompass project guidelines, tools to incorporate feedback from re-users, automated verification, etc.) and by attracting more editors to the project in order to lessen the workload. |
|||
[[File:Items-editors.png|frame|centre|Growth graphs of Wikidata Items and editorship]] |
|||
===<div style="color:#97b314">Representatives of diverse knowledge</div>=== |
|||
Representatives of diverse knowledge share viewpoints that would otherwise be underrepresented in Wikidata’s data in the contexts of language and culture, among others, and they play an important part in bringing missing voices to the fundamental discussions shaping the project. |
|||
'''Concerns and needs''': Representatives of diverse knowledge want to see their otherwise underrepresented knowledge reflected in Wikidata and the wider open knowledge ecosystem; they want their voices to be heard in fundamental decisions that shape the project. |
|||
'''Connection to strategy''': Representatives of diverse knowledge are crucial in '''facilitating equity in decision making''' as those who bring important perspectives, which would otherwise be absent, to discussions and decision making processes. We can support representatives of diverse knowledge by growing expert communities in underrepresented areas, supporting project shapers and facilitators in making fundamental decisions and bringing in otherwise missing points of view. |
|||
===<div style="color:#97b314">Small and medium-size re-users</div>=== |
|||
Small and medium-size re-users are building products and services on top of Wikidata’s data. They often contribute back and use Wikidata to overcome the competitive disadvantage of not owning their own knowledge graph. |
|||
'''Concerns and needs''': Small and medium-size re-users are looking for data that is easy to access and use without the burden of collecting and maintaining it on their own. |
|||
'''Connection to strategy''': Small and medium-size re-users are vital for '''increasing re-use for increased impact''' as those who can build new, useful applications and services on top of Wikidata’s data, thereby increasing the impact of our data in the world. These re-users tend to be more closely aligned with Wikimedia’s mission and values and include many free and open knowledge projects. We can support small and medium-sized re-users by making it easier to use Wikidata’s data and to give back to the commons. |
|||
===<div style="color:#97b314">Large re-users</div>=== |
|||
Large re-users are global organizations that are integrating Wikidata’s data into the internal knowledge graphs driving their products and services. Typically, they are able to help us improve Wikidata’s data through their processes for user feedback and internal quality assurance. |
|||
'''Concerns and needs''': Large re-users want easy access to high-quality data and are seeking ways to contribute in a meaningful way. |
|||
'''Connection to strategy''': Large re-users are important for '''increasing re-use for increased impact''' and for '''empowering the community to increase data quality''': they reach billions of people with their applications and services, and they have the resources to support us in securing and increasing data quality. We can support large re-users by making it easier for them to give back -- for example, by showing them how they can participate in the necessary work of maintaining Wikidata and by providing defined tools and processes to report issues they discover as they perform internal quality assurance. |

===<div style="background:#97b314; color:white; padding-left:20px">Purpose</div>=== |
|||
Wikidata makes it easier than ever to build apps and services around Linked Open Data. It achieves this by empowering communities from all over the world to collaboratively collect and organize important data about the world. |
|||
===<div style="background:#97b314; color:white; padding-left:20px">Guiding principles</div>=== |
|||
<ul> |
|||
<li>'''Openness:''' Wikidata’s content is free and open for anyone to use; participation is open for everyone. Our products should lead to more free and open data, and everyone should be able to join our movement. We want to reduce barriers for new participants.</li> |
|||
<li>'''Sustainability:''' Wikidata is here to stay. It is important to us that the users of our data can have confidence in us, which is why we aim for sustainability over speedy growth and quick wins.</li> |
|||
<li>'''Co-creation''': Wikidata stands or falls based on the health of its amazing community. We prioritize providing the community with the tools and knowledge they need to find solutions that fit their needs, which will ensure that our community -- including future contributors and volunteers -- continues to have the power to care for Wikidata. Wikidata and its community are not alone. We are well connected to the other Wikimedia projects, and a growing ecosystem of tools and applications exists around Wikidata, the Wikibase Ecosystem, and the larger Linked Open Data web. Our positive impact in the world is strongest when we work together.</li> |
|||
<li>'''Utility:''' In order to have an impact on the world, Wikidata’s content must be used outside of Wikidata. Making sure Wikidata’s data is widely used means we must ensure it remains useful for re-users. This includes maintaining high-quality data as well as easy access to that data.</li> |
|||
<li>'''Knowledge equity:''' The world is beautiful and complex; Wikidata should reflect that. We want to make sure that Wikidata and its decision-making processes support equity.</li></ul> |
|||
===<div style="background:#97b314; color:white; padding-left:20px">Background info</div>=== |
|||
<u>[[wikidata:Wikidata:Introduction#https://linkedopendata.eu/wiki/Item:Q2645118|Wikidata is a free, collaborative, multilingual knowledge base with a focus on verifiability]]</u>. It collects structured data to provide support for Wikipedia, the other wikis in the Wikimedia movement, and anyone in the world with a need for general-purpose structured data. Wikidata is based on the Wikibase software and provides data, an ontology and links to other databases. |
|||
Wikidata’s data constitutes the basis for a wide variety of applications and services both inside and outside the Wikimedia movement. It is an increasingly important building block for much of the technology we use every day. |
|||
Wikidata has just turned nine years old and is thriving more than ever. We now need nine digits for our identifiers (<u>[[wmfblog:2020/10/06/wikidata-reaches-q100000000/https://linkedopendata.eu/wiki/Item:Q2645118|welcome Q100000001]]</u>), and this summer we crossed the 1.5-billion edit mark. A full 72% of Wikipedia articles use Wikidata for infobox content, auto-categorization, flagging maintenance work and other support functionality, not to mention site links, which are used in 97% of all Wikipedia articles. The Wikidata Query Service sees 11 million queries per day. Wikidata has also successfully expanded into the area of lexicographical data, forming the basis for new initiatives such as Abstract Wikipedia. |
|||
=== Examples of current Wikidata use === |
|||
Wikidata offers basic building blocks that can be used in various ways. Here are some examples of how Wikidata’s various types of content are currently used: |
|||
<ul> |
|||
<li>'''Accessing basic information:''' These projects use Wikidata to retrieve basic data on specific entities. |

===<div style="background:#97b314; color:white; padding-left:20px">Strategies</div>=== |
|||
===<div style="color:#97b314">Empower the community to increase data quality</div>=== |
|||
We must ensure that our socio-technical system helps editors increase the quality of Wikidata’s existing data and contribute new high-quality data. |
|||
==== Why focus here? ==== |
|||
We want and need Wikidata’s data to be accurate and verifiable, especially as more and more technology in everyday use relies on our data in providing applications and services. This state of affairs places increased pressure on Wikidata to provide high-quality data and increases the incentives to manipulate our data. Meanwhile, the growth of Wikidata’s content is outpacing the community’s own growth and its ability to maintain that content. |
|||
==== How might we address this? ==== |
|||
We can establish feedback loops with data re-users, perform automated verification of data and issue detection, and develop tools and artefacts that make project policies and guidelines easier to implement (e.g., more powerful Entity Schemas). |
|||
===<div style="color:#97b314">Facilitate equity in decision making</div>=== |
|||
We want to ensure that diverse perspectives come into play as fundamental decisions are made for and about Wikidata. By doing so we can better support knowledge often underrepresented in knowledge graphs. |
|||
==== Why focus here? ==== |
|||
We are committed to equity within Wikidata, and it plays an especially important role in our fundamental decision-making processes. |
|||
==== How might we address this? ==== |
|||
We can address this by amplifying voices that are raising awareness and by bringing perspectives to the discussion that have so far been missing from it. We can create spaces for discussion and help with facilitation. |
|||
===<div style="color:#97b314">Increase re-use for increased impact</div>=== |
|||
We want to make sure that anyone can use the data in Wikidata to make the world a better place. While everyone can re-use our data, we give priority to organizations and projects that align with our values and have a high impact. |
|||
==== Why focus here? ==== |
|||
We want more people to benefit from the data Wikidata provides. High-impact projects that are aligned with our vision and values, along with re-users giving back to Wikidata, provide a greater collective benefit simply by reaching more people. |
|||
==== How might we address this? ==== |
|||
We can leverage our new and improved APIs and our improved documentation and showcases and throw more support behind high-impact re-users: namely, educational re-users, those working towards knowledge equity and those that give back. |
|||
===<div style="color:#97b314">Strengthen underrepresented languages</div>=== |
|||
More people need access to knowledge and technology presented in their own language, and content in that language should be accessible to all. Language data is a fundamental building block in reaching that goal. |
|||
==== Why focus here? ==== |
|||
The underrepresentation of some languages in the realms of technology and of knowledge in general constitutes a significant barrier to granting as many people as possible access to the world’s knowledge in their own language. |
|||
==== How might we address this? ==== |
|||
A direct path to improving that situation would be to increase access to multilingual machine-readable data, which would then serve as a basis for apps and services. Improving the user interface for lexicographical data and making lexicographical data accessible in Wiktionary will go some way toward that goal. |
|||
===<div style="color:#97b314">Enable Wikimedia Projects to share their workload</div>=== |
|||
The Wikimedia Projects should be able to rely on Wikidata to share their workload across language and project family boundaries. |
|||
==== Why focus here? ==== |
|||
We want all Wikimedia Projects and language versions of these projects to flourish; that’s the best and most effective path to giving every single human being access to the sum of all knowledge. To this end, we must support smaller and medium-size projects in particular and free them to rely on Wikidata as a source of basic data that is collectively maintained. |
|||
Currently, Wikidata and the other Wikimedia Projects are not tightly integrated, nor is the integration yet elaborate enough to take full advantage of this workload sharing. Wikidata benefits immensely from the efforts, expertise and experience of contributors from other Wikimedia Projects -- not only in keeping its data well maintained, but also in learning from community processes and other experiences that can be applied to Wikidata. |
|||
==== How might we address this? ==== |
|||
We can build out interfaces that allow users to edit Wikidata from the other Wikimedia Projects, e.g., Wikidata Bridge, as well as improving tools to monitor and moderate content relevant to a given project and supporting projects like Abstract Wikipedia, which rely on Wikidata’s data to provide content to readers in an automated fashion. |
|||
===<div style="background:#97b314; color:white; padding-left:20px">Target groups</div>=== |
|||
===<div style="color:#97b314">Project shapers</div>=== |
|||
Project shapers have their effect on Wikidata by facilitating and taking part in fundamental processes and decision-making. They create the rules and structures that hold the project together and are typically at the core of the community, with deep, overall understanding and care for the project. |
|||
'''Concerns and needs''': Project shapers want to create processes and rules that others can and want to follow, so the project can scale and remain healthy. |
|||
'''Connection to strategy''': Project shapers are integral to '''empowering the community to increase data quality''', guiding the decision-making process required to come to agreements on data modeling and more. They play a crucial role in '''facilitating equity in decision-making''', ensuring that a diverse set of voices is heard and their perspectives considered. We can support project shapers by creating tools and artefacts that make project policies and guidelines more actionable, as well as by supporting the creation of inclusive and open processes and guidelines to increase knowledge equity. |
|||
===<div style="color:#97b314">Gardeners</div>=== |
|||
Gardeners bring Wikidata to life by enhancing Wikidata’s quality and enforcing the rules and agreed-upon structures. Typically, they have subject-matter expertise and care deeply about quality in their topic areas. |
|||
'''Concerns and needs''': Gardeners currently have more work to do than is humanly possible. They require tools, rules and processes that support their quality work and that ensure others can contribute positively. |
|||
'''Connection to strategy''': Gardeners are integral in empowering the community to increase data quality as those who tend the garden that is Wikidata. They also play an important role in '''increasing re-use for increased impact''', as consistently modeled data is vital for easier re-use. We can support gardeners by creating more powerful tools and artefacts that empower their work (user interfaces that encompass project guidelines, tools to incorporate feedback from re-users, automated verification, etc.) and by attracting more editors to the project in order to lessen the workload. |
|||
[[File:Items-editors.png|frame|centre|Growth graphs of Wikidata Items and editorship]] |
|||
===<div style="color:#97b314">Representatives of diverse knowledge</div>=== |
|||
Representatives of diverse knowledge share viewpoints that would otherwise be underrepresented in Wikidata’s data in the contexts of language and culture, among others, and they play an important part in bringing missing voices to the fundamental discussions shaping the project. |
|||
'''Concerns and needs''': Representatives of diverse knowledge want to see their otherwise underrepresented knowledge reflected in Wikidata and the wider open knowledge ecosystem; they want their voices to be heard in fundamental decisions that shape the project. |
|||
'''Connection to strategy''': Representatives of diverse knowledge are crucial in '''facilitating equity in decision making''' as those who bring important perspectives, which would otherwise be absent, to discussions and decision making processes. We can support representatives of diverse knowledge by growing expert communities in underrepresented areas, supporting project shapers and facilitators in making fundamental decisions and bringing in otherwise missing points of view. |
|||
===<div style="color:#97b314">Small and medium-size re-users</div>=== |
|||
Small and medium-size re-users are building products and services on top of Wikidata’s data. They often contribute back and use Wikidata to overcome the competitive disadvantage of not owning their own knowledge graph. |
|||
'''Concerns and needs''': Small and medium-size re-users are looking for data that is easy to access and use without the burden of collecting and maintaining it on their own. |
|||
'''Connection to strategy''': Small and medium-size re-users are vital for '''increasing re-use for increased impact''' as those who can build new, useful applications and services on top of Wikidata’s data, thereby increasing the impact of our data in the world. These re-users tend to be more closely aligned with Wikimedia’s mission and values and include many free and open knowledge projects. We can support small and medium-sized re-users by making it easier to use Wikidata’s data and to give back to the commons. |
|||
===<div style="color:#97b314">Large re-users</div>=== |
|||
Large re-users are global organizations that are integrating Wikidata’s data into the internal knowledge graphs driving their products and services. Typically, they are able to help us improve Wikidata’s data through their processes for user feedback and internal quality assurance. |
|||
'''Concerns and needs''': Large re-users want easy access to high-quality data and are seeking ways to contribute in a meaningful way. |
|||
'''Connection to strategy''': Large re-users are important for '''increasing re-use for increased impact''' and for '''empowering the community to increase data quality''': they reach billions of people with their applications and services, and they have the resources to support us in securing and increasing data quality. We can support large re-users by making it easier for them to give back -- for example, by showing them how they can participate in the necessary work of maintaining Wikidata and by providing defined tools and processes to report issues they discover as they perform internal quality assurance. |

===<div style="background:#97b314; color:white; padding-left:20px">Purpose</div>=== |
|||
Wikidata makes it easier than ever to build apps and services around Linked Open Data. It achieves this by empowering communities from all over the world to collaboratively collect and organize important data about the world. |
|||
===<div style="background:#97b314; color:white; padding-left:20px">Guiding principles</div>=== |
|||
<ul> |
|||
<li>'''Openness:''' Wikidata’s content is free and open for anyone to use; participation is open for everyone. Our products should lead to more free and open data, and everyone should be able to join our movement. We want to reduce barriers for new participants.</li> |
|||
<li>'''Sustainability:''' Wikidata is here to stay. It is important to us that the users of our data can have confidence in us, which is why we aim for sustainability over speedy growth and quick wins.</li> |
|||
<li>'''Co-creation''': Wikidata stands or falls based on the health of its amazing community. We prioritize providing the community with the tools and knowledge they need to find solutions that fit their needs, which will ensure that our community -- including future contributors and volunteers -- continues to have the power to care for Wikidata. Wikidata and its community are not alone. We are well connected to the other Wikimedia projects, and a growing ecosystem of tools and applications exists around Wikidata, the Wikibase Ecosystem, and the larger Linked Open Data web. Our positive impact in the world is strongest when we work together.</li> |
|||
<li>'''Utility:''' In order to have an impact on the world, Wikidata’s content must be used outside of Wikidata. Making sure Wikidata’s data is widely used means we must ensure it remains useful for re-users. This includes maintaining high-quality data as well as easy access to that data.</li> |
|||
<li>'''Knowledge equity:''' The world is beautiful and complex; Wikidata should reflect that. We want to make sure that Wikidata and its decision-making processes support equity.</li></ul> |
|||
===<div style="background:#97b314; color:white; padding-left:20px">Background info</div>=== |
|||
<u>[[wikidata:Wikidata:Introduction#https://linkedopendata.eu/wiki/Item:Q2645118|Wikidata is a free, collaborative, multilingual knowledge base with a focus on verifiability]]</u>. It collects structured data to provide support for Wikipedia, the other wikis in the Wikimedia movement, and anyone in the world with a need for general-purpose structured data. Wikidata is based on the Wikibase software and provides data, an ontology and links to other databases. |
|||
Wikidata’s data constitutes the basis for a wide variety of applications and services both inside and outside the Wikimedia movement. It is an increasingly important building block for much of the technology we use every day. |
|||
Wikidata has just turned nine years old and is thriving more than ever. We now need nine digits for our identifiers (<u>[[wmfblog:2020/10/06/wikidata-reaches-q100000000/https://linkedopendata.eu/wiki/Item:Q2645118|welcome Q100000001]]</u>), and this summer we crossed the 1.5-billion edit mark. A full 72% of Wikipedia articles use Wikidata for infobox content, auto-categorization, flagging maintenance work and other support functionality, not to mention site links, which are used in 97% of all Wikipedia articles. The Wikidata Query Service sees 11 million queries per day. Wikidata has also successfully expanded into the area of lexicographical data, forming the basis for new initiatives such as Abstract Wikipedia. |
|||
=== Examples of current Wikidata use === |
|||
Wikidata offers basic building blocks that can be used in various ways. Here are some examples of how Wikidata’s various types of content are currently used: |
|||
<ul> |
|||
<li>'''Accessing basic information:''' These projects use Wikidata to retrieve basic data on specific entities. |
|||
<ul> |
|||
<li>[http://auregann.fr/derdiedas/ <u>DerDieDas</u>]: This game uses data from Wikidata’s Lexemes to instruct users in the correct articles for German nouns.</li> |
|||
<li>[https://store.kde.org/p/1389861 <u>MyCroft AI</u>]: This digital personal assistant accesses data from Wikidata to answer general-knowledge questions.</li> |
|||
<li>[https://search.brave.com/search?q=Berlin <u>Brave search</u>]: This search engine uses data from Wikidata to show information boxes in their search results.</li></ul> |
|||
</li> |
|||
<li>'''Augmenting other data:''' These projects use Wikidata to retrieve data that enriches data they already have. |
|||
<ul> |
|||
<li>[https://musicbrainz.org/area/08310658-51eb-3801-80de-5a0739207115 <u>Musicbrainz</u>]: This music encyclopedia augments their music data with Wikidata’s data on concepts (e.g., countries) that are related to but not an essential part of their knowledge area.</li> |
|||
<li>[https://kanopi.io <u>Kanopi</u>]: This semantic note-taking application allows users to link to Wikidata Items and easily augment their notes with data from Wikidata.</li> |
|||
<li>[https://twitter.com/openlibrary/status/1274104107851083776 <u>OpenLibrary</u>]: This book-tracking website uses Wikidata to retrieve data on the gender, origin and other attributes of the authors in their catalog, allowing them to provide their readers with statistics on biases in their reading behavior.</li></ul> |
|||
</li> |
|||
<li>'''Machine learning:''' These projects use Wikidata as a source of training data for machine-learning systems. |
|||
<ul> |
|||
<li>[http://ceur-ws.org/Vol-2535/paper_7.pdf <u>Exploration of historical theatre photographs</u>]: Researchers used Wikidata’s data in support of a machine-learning system that performs image recognition on a collection of old theatre photographs. Wikidata’s data facilitated plausibility checks. If the image detection algorithm recognized, for example, a laptop in a historic photo, it would be marked as highly unlikely, based on when laptops were invented.</li> |
|||
<li><u>[https://openai.com/blog/discovering-types-for-entity-disambiguation/https://linkedopendata.eu/wiki/Item:Q2645118 OpenAI]</u>: One of OpenAI’s machine-learning systems uses data from Wikidata to perform entity disambiguation: helping a computer differentiate between two entities with the same name mentioned in a text -- for example, distinguishing between Jaguar (the make of automobile) and a jaguar (the animal).</li> |
|||
<li>[https://demo.txtwerk.de/txt-demo/ <u>TXT Werk</u>]: This company is using Wikidata’s data and entities as a basis for their named-entity recognition tool, which allows users to extract entities from a given text and identify them by their Q-ID.</li></ul> |
|||
</li> |
|||
<li>'''Data cleaning and reconciliation:''' Wikidata’s statements and ontology are used to connect and clean up a data set. |
|||
<ul> |
|||
<li>[https://quoraontology.quora.com/Wikidata-and-Quora-Topics <u>Quora</u>]: Their question-answering side uses connections to Wikidata to compare their ontology to Wikidata’s and then correct mistakes in both ontologies.</li></ul> |
|||
</li> |
|||
<li>'''Data exploration and visualization:''' Wikidata’s data is used to give new insights and overviews in areas such as journalism, education and research. |
|||
<ul> |
|||
<li>[https://polmeth2020.org/measuring-political-elite-networks-wikidata <u>Measuring Political Elite Networks</u>]: This researcher uses the entities for elite organizations and persons and the connections between them to better understand how political power networks across the world work.</li> |

We want to ensure that diverse perspectives come into play as fundamental decisions are made for and about Wikidata. By doing so we can better support knowledge often underrepresented in knowledge graphs. |
|||
==== Why focus here? ==== |
|||
We are committed to equity within Wikidata, and it plays an especially important role in our fundamental decision-making processes. |
|||
==== How might we address this? ==== |
|||
We can address this by amplifying voices that are raising awareness and by bringing perspectives to the discussion that have so far been missing from it. We can create spaces for discussion and help with facilitation. |
|||
===<div style="color:#97b314">Increase re-use for increased impact</div>=== |
|||
We want to make sure that anyone can use the data in Wikidata to make the world a better place. While everyone can re-use our data, we give priority to organizations and projects that align with our values and have a high impact. |
|||
==== Why focus here? ==== |
|||
We want more people to benefit from the data Wikidata provides. High-impact projects that are aligned with our vision and values, along with re-users giving back to Wikidata, provide a greater collective benefit simply by reaching more people. |
|||
==== How might we address this? ==== |
|||
We can leverage our new and improved APIs and our improved documentation and showcases and throw more support behind high-impact re-users: namely, educational re-users, those working towards knowledge equity and those that give back. |
|||
===<div style="color:#97b314">Strengthen underrepresented languages</div>=== |
|||
More people need access to knowledge and technology presented in their own language, and content in that language should be accessible to all. Language data is a fundamental building block in reaching that goal. |
|||
==== Why focus here? ==== |
|||
The underrepresentation of some languages in the realms of technology and of knowledge in general constitutes a significant barrier to granting as many people as possible access to the world’s knowledge in their own language. |
|||
==== How might we address this? ==== |
|||
A direct path to improving that situation would be to increase access to multilingual machine-readable data, which would then serve as a basis for apps and services. Improving the user interface for lexicographical data and making lexicographical data accessible in Wiktionary will go some way toward that goal. |
|||
===<div style="color:#97b314">Enable Wikimedia Projects to share their workload</div>=== |
|||
The Wikimedia Projects should be able to rely on Wikidata to share their workload across language and project family boundaries. |
|||
==== Why focus here? ==== |
|||
We want all Wikimedia Projects and language versions of these projects to flourish; that’s the best and most effective path to giving every single human being access to the sum of all knowledge. To this end, we must support smaller and medium-size projects in particular and free them to rely on Wikidata as a source of basic data that is collectively maintained. |
|||
Currently, Wikidata and the other Wikimedia Projects are not tightly integrated, nor is the integration yet elaborate enough to take full advantage of this workload sharing. Wikidata benefits immensely from the efforts, expertise and experience of contributors from other Wikimedia Projects -- not only in keeping its data well maintained, but also in learning from community processes and other experiences that can be applied to Wikidata. |
|||
==== How might we address this? ==== |
|||
We can build out interfaces that allow users to edit Wikidata from the other Wikimedia Projects, e.g., Wikidata Bridge, as well as improving tools to monitor and moderate content relevant to a given project and supporting projects like Abstract Wikipedia, which rely on Wikidata’s data to provide content to readers in an automated fashion. |
|||
===<div style="background:#97b314; color:white; padding-left:20px">Target groups</div>=== |
|||
===<div style="color:#97b314">Project shapers</div>=== |
|||
Project shapers have their effect on Wikidata by facilitating and taking part in fundamental processes and decision-making. They create the rules and structures that hold the project together and are typically at the core of the community, with deep, overall understanding and care for the project. |
|||
'''Concerns and needs''': Project shapers want to create processes and rules that others can and want to follow, so the project can scale and remain healthy. |
|||
'''Connection to strategy''': Project shapers are integral to '''empowering the community to increase data quality''', guiding the decision-making process required to come to agreements on data modeling and more. They play a crucial role in '''facilitating equity in decision-making''', ensuring that a diverse set of voices is heard and their perspectives considered. We can support project shapers by creating tools and artefacts that make project policies and guidelines more actionable, as well as by supporting the creation of inclusive and open processes and guidelines to increase knowledge equity. |
|||
===<div style="color:#97b314">Gardeners</div>=== |
|||
Gardeners bring Wikidata to life by enhancing Wikidata’s quality and enforcing the rules and agreed-upon structures. Typically, they have subject-matter expertise and care deeply about quality in their topic areas. |
|||
'''Concerns and needs''': Gardeners currently have more work to do than is humanly possible. They require tools, rules and processes that support their quality work and that ensure others can contribute positively. |
|||
'''Connection to strategy''': Gardeners are integral in empowering the community to increase data quality as those who tend the garden that is Wikidata. They also play an important role in '''increasing re-use for increased impact''', as consistently modeled data is vital for easier re-use. We can support gardeners by creating more powerful tools and artefacts that empower their work (user interfaces that encompass project guidelines, tools to incorporate feedback from re-users, automated verification, etc.) and by attracting more editors to the project in order to lessen the workload. |
|||
[[File:Items-editors.png|frame|centre|Growth graphs of Wikidata Items and editorship]] |
|||
===<div style="color:#97b314">Representatives of diverse knowledge</div>=== |
|||
Representatives of diverse knowledge share viewpoints that would otherwise be underrepresented in Wikidata’s data in the contexts of language and culture, among others, and they play an important part in bringing missing voices to the fundamental discussions shaping the project. |
|||
'''Concerns and needs''': Representatives of diverse knowledge want to see their otherwise underrepresented knowledge reflected in Wikidata and the wider open knowledge ecosystem; they want their voices to be heard in fundamental decisions that shape the project. |
|||
'''Connection to strategy''': Representatives of diverse knowledge are crucial in '''facilitating equity in decision making''' as those who bring important perspectives, which would otherwise be absent, to discussions and decision making processes. We can support representatives of diverse knowledge by growing expert communities in underrepresented areas, supporting project shapers and facilitators in making fundamental decisions and bringing in otherwise missing points of view. |
|||
===<div style="color:#97b314">Small and medium-size re-users</div>=== |
|||
Small and medium-size re-users are building products and services on top of Wikidata’s data. They often contribute back and use Wikidata to overcome the competitive disadvantage of not owning their own knowledge graph. |
|||
'''Concerns and needs''': Small and medium-size re-users are looking for data that is easy to access and use without the burden of collecting and maintaining it on their own. |
|||
'''Connection to strategy''': Small and medium-size re-users are vital for '''increasing re-use for increased impact''' as those who can build new, useful applications and services on top of Wikidata’s data, thereby increasing the impact of our data in the world. These re-users tend to be more closely aligned with Wikimedia’s mission and values and include many free and open knowledge projects. We can support small and medium-sized re-users by making it easier to use Wikidata’s data and to give back to the commons. |
|||
===<div style="color:#97b314">Large re-users</div>=== |
|||
Large re-users are global organizations that are integrating Wikidata’s data into the internal knowledge graphs driving their products and services. Typically, they are able to help us improve Wikidata’s data through their processes for user feedback and internal quality assurance. |
|||
'''Concerns and needs''': Large re-users want easy access to high-quality data and are seeking ways to contribute in a meaningful way. |
|||
'''Connection to strategy''': Large re-users are important for '''increasing re-use for increased impact''' and for '''empowering the community to increase data quality''': they reach billions of people with their applications and services, and they have the resources to support us in securing and increasing data quality. We can support large re-users by making it easier for them to give back -- for example, by showing them how they can participate in the necessary work of maintaining Wikidata and by providing defined tools and processes to report issues they discover as they perform internal quality assurance. |

===<div style="background:#97b314; color:white; padding-left:20px">Purpose</div>=== |
|||
Wikidata makes it easier than ever to build apps and services around Linked Open Data. It achieves this by empowering communities from all over the world to collaboratively collect and organize important data about the world. |
|||
===<div style="background:#97b314; color:white; padding-left:20px">Guiding principles</div>=== |
|||
<ul> |
|||
<li>'''Openness:''' Wikidata’s content is free and open for anyone to use; participation is open for everyone. Our products should lead to more free and open data, and everyone should be able to join our movement. We want to reduce barriers for new participants.</li> |
|||
<li>'''Sustainability:''' Wikidata is here to stay. It is important to us that the users of our data can have confidence in us, which is why we aim for sustainability over speedy growth and quick wins.</li> |
|||
<li>'''Co-creation''': Wikidata stands or falls based on the health of its amazing community. We prioritize providing the community with the tools and knowledge they need to find solutions that fit their needs, which will ensure that our community -- including future contributors and volunteers -- continues to have the power to care for Wikidata. Wikidata and its community are not alone. We are well connected to the other Wikimedia projects, and a growing ecosystem of tools and applications exists around Wikidata, the Wikibase Ecosystem, and the larger Linked Open Data web. Our positive impact in the world is strongest when we work together.</li> |
|||
<li>'''Utility:''' In order to have an impact on the world, Wikidata’s content must be used outside of Wikidata. Making sure Wikidata’s data is widely used means we must ensure it remains useful for re-users. This includes maintaining high-quality data as well as easy access to that data.</li> |
|||
<li>'''Knowledge equity:''' The world is beautiful and complex; Wikidata should reflect that. We want to make sure that Wikidata and its decision-making processes support equity.</li></ul> |
|||
===<div style="background:#97b314; color:white; padding-left:20px">Background info</div>=== |
|||
<u>[[wikidata:Wikidata:Introduction#https://linkedopendata.eu/wiki/Item:Q2645118|Wikidata is a free, collaborative, multilingual knowledge base with a focus on verifiability]]</u>. It collects structured data to provide support for Wikipedia, the other wikis in the Wikimedia movement, and anyone in the world with a need for general-purpose structured data. Wikidata is based on the Wikibase software and provides data, an ontology and links to other databases. |
|||
Wikidata’s data constitutes the basis for a wide variety of applications and services both inside and outside the Wikimedia movement. It is an increasingly important building block for much of the technology we use every day. |
|||
Wikidata has just turned nine years old and is thriving more than ever. We now need nine digits for our identifiers (<u>[[wmfblog:2020/10/06/wikidata-reaches-q100000000/https://linkedopendata.eu/wiki/Item:Q2645118|welcome Q100000001]]</u>), and this summer we crossed the 1.5-billion edit mark. A full 72% of Wikipedia articles use Wikidata for infobox content, auto-categorization, flagging maintenance work and other support functionality, not to mention site links, which are used in 97% of all Wikipedia articles. The Wikidata Query Service sees 11 million queries per day. Wikidata has also successfully expanded into the area of lexicographical data, forming the basis for new initiatives such as Abstract Wikipedia. |
|||
=== Examples of current Wikidata use === |
|||
Wikidata offers basic building blocks that can be used in various ways. Here are some examples of how Wikidata’s various types of content are currently used: |
|||
<ul> |
|||
<li>'''Accessing basic information:''' These projects use Wikidata to retrieve basic data on specific entities. |
|||
<ul> |
|||
<li>[http://auregann.fr/derdiedas/ <u>DerDieDas</u>]: This game uses data from Wikidata’s Lexemes to instruct users in the correct articles for German nouns.</li> |
|||
<li>[https://store.kde.org/p/1389861 <u>MyCroft AI</u>]: This digital personal assistant accesses data from Wikidata to answer general-knowledge questions.</li> |
|||
<li>[https://search.brave.com/search?q=Berlin <u>Brave search</u>]: This search engine uses data from Wikidata to show information boxes in their search results.</li></ul> |
|||
</li> |
|||
<li>'''Augmenting other data:''' These projects use Wikidata to retrieve data that enriches data they already have. |
|||
<ul> |
|||
<li>[https://musicbrainz.org/area/08310658-51eb-3801-80de-5a0739207115 <u>Musicbrainz</u>]: This music encyclopedia augments their music data with Wikidata’s data on concepts (e.g., countries) that are related to but not an essential part of their knowledge area.</li> |
|||
<li>[https://kanopi.io <u>Kanopi</u>]: This semantic note-taking application allows users to link to Wikidata Items and easily augment their notes with data from Wikidata.</li> |
|||
<li>[https://twitter.com/openlibrary/status/1274104107851083776 <u>OpenLibrary</u>]: This book-tracking website uses Wikidata to retrieve data on the gender, origin and other attributes of the authors in their catalog, allowing them to provide their readers with statistics on biases in their reading behavior.</li></ul> |
|||
</li> |
|||
<li>'''Machine learning:''' These projects use Wikidata as a source of training data for machine-learning systems. |
|||
<ul> |
|||
<li>[http://ceur-ws.org/Vol-2535/paper_7.pdf <u>Exploration of historical theatre photographs</u>]: Researchers used Wikidata’s data in support of a machine-learning system that performs image recognition on a collection of old theatre photographs. Wikidata’s data facilitated plausibility checks. If the image detection algorithm recognized, for example, a laptop in a historic photo, it would be marked as highly unlikely, based on when laptops were invented.</li> |
|||
<li><u>[https://openai.com/blog/discovering-types-for-entity-disambiguation/https://linkedopendata.eu/wiki/Item:Q2645118 OpenAI]</u>: One of OpenAI’s machine-learning systems uses data from Wikidata to perform entity disambiguation: helping a computer differentiate between two entities with the same name mentioned in a text -- for example, distinguishing between Jaguar (the make of automobile) and a jaguar (the animal).</li> |
|||
<li>[https://demo.txtwerk.de/txt-demo/ <u>TXT Werk</u>]: This company is using Wikidata’s data and entities as a basis for their named-entity recognition tool, which allows users to extract entities from a given text and identify them by their Q-ID.</li></ul> |
|||
</li> |
|||
<li>'''Data cleaning and reconciliation:''' Wikidata’s statements and ontology are used to connect and clean up a data set. |
|||
<ul> |
|||
<li>[https://quoraontology.quora.com/Wikidata-and-Quora-Topics <u>Quora</u>]: Their question-answering side uses connections to Wikidata to compare their ontology to Wikidata’s and then correct mistakes in both ontologies.</li></ul> |
|||
</li> |
|||
<li>'''Data exploration and visualization:''' Wikidata’s data is used to give new insights and overviews in areas such as journalism, education and research. |
|||
<ul> |
|||
<li>[https://polmeth2020.org/measuring-political-elite-networks-wikidata <u>Measuring Political Elite Networks</u>]: This researcher uses the entities for elite organizations and persons and the connections between them to better understand how political power networks across the world work.</li> |
|||
<li>[https://equalstreetnames.brussels <u>EqualStreetNames.Brussels</u>]: This website uses Wikidata’s gender data to explore biases in who streets are named after in Brussels. Similar websites exist for a few other cities.</li> |
|||
<li>[https://openartbrowser.org/ <u>Open Art Browser</u>]: This art website lets users explore visual art across time, movements, locations, motifs and more.</li></ul> |
|||
</li> |
|||
<li>'''Gateway to LOD web:''' Wikidata’s links to other websites, catalogs, archives and more are used to access additional information. |
|||
<ul> |
|||
<li>[https://thesciencemuseum.github.io/heritageconnector/post/2020/09/23/sidestepping-the-limitations-of-collections-catalogues-with-machine-learning-and-wikidata/ <u>The Science Museum</u>]: This museum uses Wikidata as a “Rosetta Stone” to provide links to other datasets, to ingest content from those datasets, and to provide richer interfaces to their collection.</li></ul> |
|||
</li> |
|||
<li>'''Source of notable entities for disambiguation, cataloging, tagging and more:''' Wikidata’s stable identifiers are used to clearly identify concepts in a language-independent manner. |
|||
<ul> |
|||
<li>[https://medium.com/occrp-unreported/an-%D0%B0%D0%BB%D0%B5%D0%BA%D1%81%D0%B0%D0%BD%D0%B4%D1%80-by-any-other-name-819525c82d8 <u>OCCRP</u>]: The Organized Crime and Corruption Reporting Project uses Wikidata’s Items and their labels in various languages to support their data analysis during reporting, specifically to gain a better understanding of the many different names under which a person or organization might be operating (and hiding behind).</li> |
|||
<li>[https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Hauptseite <u>Wikimedia Commons</u>]: Wikimedia’s media site uses Wikidata’s IDs and concepts for sophisticated image tagging to enable better exploration of its media archive.</li> |
|||
<li>[https://www.reddit.com/ <u>Reddit</u>]: This community discussion site uses Wikidata’s IDs and concepts to better understand what their subcommunities are about and enable better recommendations for subcommunities to join.</li> |
|||
<li>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ALy6e7GbDRQ <u>Tom Scott</u>]: This science YouTuber tried to determine the best thing ever by running a survey among his viewers. He used Wikidata as his source of concepts to be voted on.</li></ul> |
|||
</li> |
|||
<li>'''Internationalization:''' Wikidata is used as a source of names for various concepts across languages. |
|||
<ul> |
|||
<li>[https://blog.mapbox.com/exploring-the-world-with-wikidata-and-openstreetmap-30f1bfe954d3 <u>Mapbox</u>]: The mapping provider uses Wikidata’s labels to internationalize the names for various geographic features like city names.</li></ul> |
|||
</li> |
|||
<li>'''Place for shared community work of other projects:''' Wikidata is used as a place to enable community to work on shared data. |
|||
<ul> |
|||
<li>[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/South_Pole_Telescope <u>Wikipedia infoboxes</u>]: This encyclopedia uses Wikidata as a store for general-purpose data for infoboxes, enabling shared work across project and language boundaries.</li> |

===<div style="background:#97b314; color:white; padding-left:20px">Strategies</div>=== |
|||
===<div style="color:#97b314">Empower the community to increase data quality</div>=== |
|||
We must ensure that our socio-technical system helps editors increase the quality of Wikidata’s existing data and contribute new high-quality data. |
|||
==== Why focus here? ==== |
|||
We want and need Wikidata’s data to be accurate and verifiable, especially as more and more technology in everyday use relies on our data in providing applications and services. This state of affairs places increased pressure on Wikidata to provide high-quality data and increases the incentives to manipulate our data. Meanwhile, the growth of Wikidata’s content is outpacing the community’s own growth and its ability to maintain that content. |
|||
==== How might we address this? ==== |
|||
We can establish feedback loops with data re-users, perform automated verification of data and issue detection, and develop tools and artefacts that make project policies and guidelines easier to implement (e.g., more powerful Entity Schemas). |
|||
===<div style="color:#97b314">Facilitate equity in decision making</div>=== |
|||
We want to ensure that diverse perspectives come into play as fundamental decisions are made for and about Wikidata. By doing so we can better support knowledge often underrepresented in knowledge graphs. |
|||
==== Why focus here? ==== |
|||
We are committed to equity within Wikidata, and it plays an especially important role in our fundamental decision-making processes. |
|||
==== How might we address this? ==== |
|||
We can address this by amplifying voices that are raising awareness and by bringing perspectives to the discussion that have so far been missing from it. We can create spaces for discussion and help with facilitation. |

|||
===<div style="color:#97b314">Project shapers</div>=== |
|||
Project shapers have their effect on Wikidata by facilitating and taking part in fundamental processes and decision-making. They create the rules and structures that hold the project together and are typically at the core of the community, with deep, overall understanding and care for the project. |
|||
'''Concerns and needs''': Project shapers want to create processes and rules that others can and want to follow, so the project can scale and remain healthy. |
|||
'''Connection to strategy''': Project shapers are integral to '''empowering the community to increase data quality''', guiding the decision-making process required to come to agreements on data modeling and more. They play a crucial role in '''facilitating equity in decision-making''', ensuring that a diverse set of voices is heard and their perspectives considered. We can support project shapers by creating tools and artefacts that make project policies and guidelines more actionable, as well as by supporting the creation of inclusive and open processes and guidelines to increase knowledge equity. |

|||
Representatives of diverse knowledge share viewpoints that would otherwise be underrepresented in Wikidata’s data in the contexts of language and culture, among others, and they play an important part in bringing missing voices to the fundamental discussions shaping the project. |
|||
'''Concerns and needs''': Representatives of diverse knowledge want to see their otherwise underrepresented knowledge reflected in Wikidata and the wider open knowledge ecosystem; they want their voices to be heard in fundamental decisions that shape the project. |
|||
'''Connection to strategy''': Representatives of diverse knowledge are crucial in '''facilitating equity in decision making''' as those who bring important perspectives, which would otherwise be absent, to discussions and decision making processes. We can support representatives of diverse knowledge by growing expert communities in underrepresented areas, supporting project shapers and facilitators in making fundamental decisions and bringing in otherwise missing points of view. |
|||
===<div style="color:#97b314">Small and medium-size re-users</div>=== |
|||
Small and medium-size re-users are building products and services on top of Wikidata’s data. They often contribute back and use Wikidata to overcome the competitive disadvantage of not owning their own knowledge graph. |
|||
'''Concerns and needs''': Small and medium-size re-users are looking for data that is easy to access and use without the burden of collecting and maintaining it on their own. |
|||
'''Connection to strategy''': Small and medium-size re-users are vital for '''increasing re-use for increased impact''' as those who can build new, useful applications and services on top of Wikidata’s data, thereby increasing the impact of our data in the world. These re-users tend to be more closely aligned with Wikimedia’s mission and values and include many free and open knowledge projects. We can support small and medium-sized re-users by making it easier to use Wikidata’s data and to give back to the commons. |
|||
===<div style="color:#97b314">Large re-users</div>=== |
|||
Large re-users are global organizations that are integrating Wikidata’s data into the internal knowledge graphs driving their products and services. Typically, they are able to help us improve Wikidata’s data through their processes for user feedback and internal quality assurance. |
|||
'''Concerns and needs''': Large re-users want easy access to high-quality data and are seeking ways to contribute in a meaningful way. |
|||
'''Connection to strategy''': Large re-users are important for '''increasing re-use for increased impact''' and for '''empowering the community to increase data quality''': they reach billions of people with their applications and services, and they have the resources to support us in securing and increasing data quality. We can support large re-users by making it easier for them to give back -- for example, by showing them how they can participate in the necessary work of maintaining Wikidata and by providing defined tools and processes to report issues they discover as they perform internal quality assurance. |

|||
<u>[[wikidata:Wikidata:Introduction#https://linkedopendata.eu/wiki/Item:Q2645118|Wikidata is a free, collaborative, multilingual knowledge base with a focus on verifiability]]</u>. It collects structured data to provide support for Wikipedia, the other wikis in the Wikimedia movement, and anyone in the world with a need for general-purpose structured data. Wikidata is based on the Wikibase software and provides data, an ontology and links to other databases. |
|||
Wikidata’s data constitutes the basis for a wide variety of applications and services both inside and outside the Wikimedia movement. It is an increasingly important building block for much of the technology we use every day. |
|||
Wikidata has just turned nine years old and is thriving more than ever. We now need nine digits for our identifiers (<u>[[wmfblog:2020/10/06/wikidata-reaches-q100000000/https://linkedopendata.eu/wiki/Item:Q2645118|welcome Q100000001]]</u>), and this summer we crossed the 1.5-billion edit mark. A full 72% of Wikipedia articles use Wikidata for infobox content, auto-categorization, flagging maintenance work and other support functionality, not to mention site links, which are used in 97% of all Wikipedia articles. The Wikidata Query Service sees 11 million queries per day. Wikidata has also successfully expanded into the area of lexicographical data, forming the basis for new initiatives such as Abstract Wikipedia. |
|||
=== Examples of current Wikidata use === |
|||
Wikidata offers basic building blocks that can be used in various ways. Here are some examples of how Wikidata’s various types of content are currently used: |
|||
<ul> |
|||
<li>'''Accessing basic information:''' These projects use Wikidata to retrieve basic data on specific entities. |
|||
<ul> |
|||
<li>[http://auregann.fr/derdiedas/ <u>DerDieDas</u>]: This game uses data from Wikidata’s Lexemes to instruct users in the correct articles for German nouns.</li> |
|||
<li>[https://store.kde.org/p/1389861 <u>MyCroft AI</u>]: This digital personal assistant accesses data from Wikidata to answer general-knowledge questions.</li> |

|||
</li> |
|||
<li>'''Augmenting other data:''' These projects use Wikidata to retrieve data that enriches data they already have. |
|||
<ul> |
|||
<li>[https://musicbrainz.org/area/08310658-51eb-3801-80de-5a0739207115 <u>Musicbrainz</u>]: This music encyclopedia augments their music data with Wikidata’s data on concepts (e.g., countries) that are related to but not an essential part of their knowledge area.</li> |
|||
<li>[https://kanopi.io <u>Kanopi</u>]: This semantic note-taking application allows users to link to Wikidata Items and easily augment their notes with data from Wikidata.</li> |
|||
<li>[https://twitter.com/openlibrary/status/1274104107851083776 <u>OpenLibrary</u>]: This book-tracking website uses Wikidata to retrieve data on the gender, origin and other attributes of the authors in their catalog, allowing them to provide their readers with statistics on biases in their reading behavior.</li></ul> |
|||
</li> |
|||
<li>'''Machine learning:''' These projects use Wikidata as a source of training data for machine-learning systems. |
|||
<ul> |
|||
<li>[http://ceur-ws.org/Vol-2535/paper_7.pdf <u>Exploration of historical theatre photographs</u>]: Researchers used Wikidata’s data in support of a machine-learning system that performs image recognition on a collection of old theatre photographs. Wikidata’s data facilitated plausibility checks. If the image detection algorithm recognized, for example, a laptop in a historic photo, it would be marked as highly unlikely, based on when laptops were invented.</li> |
|||
<li><u>[https://openai.com/blog/discovering-types-for-entity-disambiguation/https://linkedopendata.eu/wiki/Item:Q2645118 OpenAI]</u>: One of OpenAI’s machine-learning systems uses data from Wikidata to perform entity disambiguation: helping a computer differentiate between two entities with the same name mentioned in a text -- for example, distinguishing between Jaguar (the make of automobile) and a jaguar (the animal).</li> |
|||
<li>[https://demo.txtwerk.de/txt-demo/ <u>TXT Werk</u>]: This company is using Wikidata’s data and entities as a basis for their named-entity recognition tool, which allows users to extract entities from a given text and identify them by their Q-ID.</li></ul> |

|||
<ul> |
|||
<li>[https://quoraontology.quora.com/Wikidata-and-Quora-Topics <u>Quora</u>]: Their question-answering side uses connections to Wikidata to compare their ontology to Wikidata’s and then correct mistakes in both ontologies.</li></ul> |
|||
</li> |
|||
<li>'''Data exploration and visualization:''' Wikidata’s data is used to give new insights and overviews in areas such as journalism, education and research. |
|||
<ul> |
|||
<li>[https://polmeth2020.org/measuring-political-elite-networks-wikidata <u>Measuring Political Elite Networks</u>]: This researcher uses the entities for elite organizations and persons and the connections between them to better understand how political power networks across the world work.</li> |

<li>[https://openartbrowser.org/ <u>Open Art Browser</u>]: This art website lets users explore visual art across time, movements, locations, motifs and more.</li></ul> |
|||
</li> |
|||
<li>'''Gateway to LOD web:''' Wikidata’s links to other websites, catalogs, archives and more are used to access additional information. |
|||
<ul> |
|||
<li>[https://thesciencemuseum.github.io/heritageconnector/post/2020/09/23/sidestepping-the-limitations-of-collections-catalogues-with-machine-learning-and-wikidata/ <u>The Science Museum</u>]: This museum uses Wikidata as a “Rosetta Stone” to provide links to other datasets, to ingest content from those datasets, and to provide richer interfaces to their collection.</li></ul> |
|||
</li> |
|||
<li>'''Source of notable entities for disambiguation, cataloging, tagging and more:''' Wikidata’s stable identifiers are used to clearly identify concepts in a language-independent manner. |
|||
<ul> |
|||
<li>[https://medium.com/occrp-unreported/an-%D0%B0%D0%BB%D0%B5%D0%BA%D1%81%D0%B0%D0%BD%D0%B4%D1%80-by-any-other-name-819525c82d8 <u>OCCRP</u>]: The Organized Crime and Corruption Reporting Project uses Wikidata’s Items and their labels in various languages to support their data analysis during reporting, specifically to gain a better understanding of the many different names under which a person or organization might be operating (and hiding behind).</li> |

===<div style="background:#97b314; color:white; padding-left:20px">Strategies</div>=== |
|||
===<div style="color:#97b314">Empower the community to increase data quality</div>=== |
|||
We must ensure that our socio-technical system helps editors increase the quality of Wikidata’s existing data and contribute new high-quality data. |
|||
==== Why focus here? ==== |
|||
We want and need Wikidata’s data to be accurate and verifiable, especially as more and more technology in everyday use relies on our data in providing applications and services. This state of affairs places increased pressure on Wikidata to provide high-quality data and increases the incentives to manipulate our data. Meanwhile, the growth of Wikidata’s content is outpacing the community’s own growth and its ability to maintain that content. |
|||
==== How might we address this? ==== |
|||
We can establish feedback loops with data re-users, perform automated verification of data and issue detection, and develop tools and artefacts that make project policies and guidelines easier to implement (e.g., more powerful Entity Schemas). |
|||
===<div style="color:#97b314">Facilitate equity in decision making</div>=== |
|||
We want to ensure that diverse perspectives come into play as fundamental decisions are made for and about Wikidata. By doing so we can better support knowledge often underrepresented in knowledge graphs. |
|||
==== Why focus here? ==== |
|||
We are committed to equity within Wikidata, and it plays an especially important role in our fundamental decision-making processes. |
|||
==== How might we address this? ==== |
|||
We can address this by amplifying voices that are raising awareness and by bringing perspectives to the discussion that have so far been missing from it. We can create spaces for discussion and help with facilitation. |
|||
===<div style="color:#97b314">Increase re-use for increased impact</div>=== |
|||
We want to make sure that anyone can use the data in Wikidata to make the world a better place. While everyone can re-use our data, we give priority to organizations and projects that align with our values and have a high impact. |
|||
==== Why focus here? ==== |
|||
We want more people to benefit from the data Wikidata provides. High-impact projects that are aligned with our vision and values, along with re-users giving back to Wikidata, provide a greater collective benefit simply by reaching more people. |
|||
==== How might we address this? ==== |
|||
We can leverage our new and improved APIs and our improved documentation and showcases and throw more support behind high-impact re-users: namely, educational re-users, those working towards knowledge equity and those that give back. |
|||
===<div style="color:#97b314">Strengthen underrepresented languages</div>=== |
|||
More people need access to knowledge and technology presented in their own language, and content in that language should be accessible to all. Language data is a fundamental building block in reaching that goal. |
|||
==== Why focus here? ==== |
|||
The underrepresentation of some languages in the realms of technology and of knowledge in general constitutes a significant barrier to granting as many people as possible access to the world’s knowledge in their own language. |
|||
==== How might we address this? ==== |
|||
A direct path to improving that situation would be to increase access to multilingual machine-readable data, which would then serve as a basis for apps and services. Improving the user interface for lexicographical data and making lexicographical data accessible in Wiktionary will go some way toward that goal. |
|||
===<div style="color:#97b314">Enable Wikimedia Projects to share their workload</div>=== |
|||
The Wikimedia Projects should be able to rely on Wikidata to share their workload across language and project family boundaries. |
|||
==== Why focus here? ==== |
|||
We want all Wikimedia Projects and language versions of these projects to flourish; that’s the best and most effective path to giving every single human being access to the sum of all knowledge. To this end, we must support smaller and medium-size projects in particular and free them to rely on Wikidata as a source of basic data that is collectively maintained. |
|||
Currently, Wikidata and the other Wikimedia Projects are not tightly integrated, nor is the integration yet elaborate enough to take full advantage of this workload sharing. Wikidata benefits immensely from the efforts, expertise and experience of contributors from other Wikimedia Projects -- not only in keeping its data well maintained, but also in learning from community processes and other experiences that can be applied to Wikidata. |
|||
==== How might we address this? ==== |
|||
We can build out interfaces that allow users to edit Wikidata from the other Wikimedia Projects, e.g., Wikidata Bridge, as well as improving tools to monitor and moderate content relevant to a given project and supporting projects like Abstract Wikipedia, which rely on Wikidata’s data to provide content to readers in an automated fashion. |
|||
===<div style="background:#97b314; color:white; padding-left:20px">Target groups</div>=== |
|||
===<div style="color:#97b314">Project shapers</div>=== |
|||
Project shapers have their effect on Wikidata by facilitating and taking part in fundamental processes and decision-making. They create the rules and structures that hold the project together and are typically at the core of the community, with deep, overall understanding and care for the project. |
|||
'''Concerns and needs''': Project shapers want to create processes and rules that others can and want to follow, so the project can scale and remain healthy. |
|||
'''Connection to strategy''': Project shapers are integral to '''empowering the community to increase data quality''', guiding the decision-making process required to come to agreements on data modeling and more. They play a crucial role in '''facilitating equity in decision-making''', ensuring that a diverse set of voices is heard and their perspectives considered. We can support project shapers by creating tools and artefacts that make project policies and guidelines more actionable, as well as by supporting the creation of inclusive and open processes and guidelines to increase knowledge equity. |
|||
===<div style="color:#97b314">Gardeners</div>=== |
|||
Gardeners bring Wikidata to life by enhancing Wikidata’s quality and enforcing the rules and agreed-upon structures. Typically, they have subject-matter expertise and care deeply about quality in their topic areas. |
|||
'''Concerns and needs''': Gardeners currently have more work to do than is humanly possible. They require tools, rules and processes that support their quality work and that ensure others can contribute positively. |
|||
'''Connection to strategy''': Gardeners are integral in empowering the community to increase data quality as those who tend the garden that is Wikidata. They also play an important role in '''increasing re-use for increased impact''', as consistently modeled data is vital for easier re-use. We can support gardeners by creating more powerful tools and artefacts that empower their work (user interfaces that encompass project guidelines, tools to incorporate feedback from re-users, automated verification, etc.) and by attracting more editors to the project in order to lessen the workload. |
|||

===<div style="color:#97b314">Representatives of diverse knowledge</div>=== |
|||
Representatives of diverse knowledge share viewpoints that would otherwise be underrepresented in Wikidata’s data in the contexts of language and culture, among others, and they play an important part in bringing missing voices to the fundamental discussions shaping the project. |
|||
'''Concerns and needs''': Representatives of diverse knowledge want to see their otherwise underrepresented knowledge reflected in Wikidata and the wider open knowledge ecosystem; they want their voices to be heard in fundamental decisions that shape the project. |

<u>[[wikidata:Wikidata:Introduction#https://linkedopendata.eu/wiki/Item:Q2645118|Wikidata is a free, collaborative, multilingual knowledge base with a focus on verifiability]]</u>. It collects structured data to provide support for Wikipedia, the other wikis in the Wikimedia movement, and anyone in the world with a need for general-purpose structured data. Wikidata is based on the Wikibase software and provides data, an ontology and links to other databases. |
|||
Wikidata’s data constitutes the basis for a wide variety of applications and services both inside and outside the Wikimedia movement. It is an increasingly important building block for much of the technology we use every day. |
|||
Wikidata has just turned nine years old and is thriving more than ever. We now need nine digits for our identifiers (<u>[[wmfblog:2020/10/06/wikidata-reaches-q100000000/https://linkedopendata.eu/wiki/Item:Q2645118|welcome Q100000001]]</u>), and this summer we crossed the 1.5-billion edit mark. A full 72% of Wikipedia articles use Wikidata for infobox content, auto-categorization, flagging maintenance work and other support functionality, not to mention site links, which are used in 97% of all Wikipedia articles. The Wikidata Query Service sees 11 million queries per day. Wikidata has also successfully expanded into the area of lexicographical data, forming the basis for new initiatives such as Abstract Wikipedia. |
|||
=== Examples of current Wikidata use === |
|||
Wikidata offers basic building blocks that can be used in various ways. Here are some examples of how Wikidata’s various types of content are currently used: |

|||
</li> |
|||
<li>'''Gateway to LOD web:''' Wikidata’s links to other websites, catalogs, archives and more are used to access additional information. |
|||
<ul> |
|||

|||
</li> |
|||
<li>'''Source of notable entities for disambiguation, cataloging, tagging and more:''' Wikidata’s stable identifiers are used to clearly identify concepts in a language-independent manner. |
|||
<ul> |
|||
<li>[https://medium.com/occrp-unreported/an-%D0%B0%D0%BB%D0%B5%D0%BA%D1%81%D0%B0%D0%BD%D0%B4%D1%80-by-any-other-name-819525c82d8 <u>OCCRP</u>]: The Organized Crime and Corruption Reporting Project uses Wikidata’s Items and their labels in various languages to support their data analysis during reporting, specifically to gain a better understanding of the many different names under which a person or organization might be operating (and hiding behind).</li> |

===<div style="background:#97b314; color:white; padding-left:20px">Strategies</div>=== |
|||
===<div style="color:#97b314">Empower the community to increase data quality</div>=== |
|||
We must ensure that our socio-technical system helps editors increase the quality of Wikidata’s existing data and contribute new high-quality data. |
|||
==== Why focus here? ==== |
|||
We want and need Wikidata’s data to be accurate and verifiable, especially as more and more technology in everyday use relies on our data in providing applications and services. This state of affairs places increased pressure on Wikidata to provide high-quality data and increases the incentives to manipulate our data. Meanwhile, the growth of Wikidata’s content is outpacing the community’s own growth and its ability to maintain that content. |
|||
==== How might we address this? ==== |
|||
We can establish feedback loops with data re-users, perform automated verification of data and issue detection, and develop tools and artefacts that make project policies and guidelines easier to implement (e.g., more powerful Entity Schemas). |
|||
===<div style="color:#97b314">Facilitate equity in decision making</div>=== |
|||
We want to ensure that diverse perspectives come into play as fundamental decisions are made for and about Wikidata. By doing so we can better support knowledge often underrepresented in knowledge graphs. |
|||
==== Why focus here? ==== |
|||
We are committed to equity within Wikidata, and it plays an especially important role in our fundamental decision-making processes. |
|||
==== How might we address this? ==== |
|||
We can address this by amplifying voices that are raising awareness and by bringing perspectives to the discussion that have so far been missing from it. We can create spaces for discussion and help with facilitation. |
|||
===<div style="color:#97b314">Increase re-use for increased impact</div>=== |
|||
We want to make sure that anyone can use the data in Wikidata to make the world a better place. While everyone can re-use our data, we give priority to organizations and projects that align with our values and have a high impact. |
|||
==== Why focus here? ==== |
|||
We want more people to benefit from the data Wikidata provides. High-impact projects that are aligned with our vision and values, along with re-users giving back to Wikidata, provide a greater collective benefit simply by reaching more people. |
|||
==== How might we address this? ==== |
|||
We can leverage our new and improved APIs and our improved documentation and showcases and throw more support behind high-impact re-users: namely, educational re-users, those working towards knowledge equity and those that give back. |
|||
===<div style="color:#97b314">Strengthen underrepresented languages</div>=== |
|||
More people need access to knowledge and technology presented in their own language, and content in that language should be accessible to all. Language data is a fundamental building block in reaching that goal. |
|||
==== Why focus here? ==== |
|||
The underrepresentation of some languages in the realms of technology and of knowledge in general constitutes a significant barrier to granting as many people as possible access to the world’s knowledge in their own language. |
|||
==== How might we address this? ==== |
|||
A direct path to improving that situation would be to increase access to multilingual machine-readable data, which would then serve as a basis for apps and services. Improving the user interface for lexicographical data and making lexicographical data accessible in Wiktionary will go some way toward that goal. |
|||
===<div style="color:#97b314">Enable Wikimedia Projects to share their workload</div>=== |
|||
The Wikimedia Projects should be able to rely on Wikidata to share their workload across language and project family boundaries. |
|||
==== Why focus here? ==== |
|||
We want all Wikimedia Projects and language versions of these projects to flourish; that’s the best and most effective path to giving every single human being access to the sum of all knowledge. To this end, we must support smaller and medium-size projects in particular and free them to rely on Wikidata as a source of basic data that is collectively maintained. |
|||
Currently, Wikidata and the other Wikimedia Projects are not tightly integrated, nor is the integration yet elaborate enough to take full advantage of this workload sharing. Wikidata benefits immensely from the efforts, expertise and experience of contributors from other Wikimedia Projects -- not only in keeping its data well maintained, but also in learning from community processes and other experiences that can be applied to Wikidata. |
|||
==== How might we address this? ==== |
|||
We can build out interfaces that allow users to edit Wikidata from the other Wikimedia Projects, e.g., Wikidata Bridge, as well as improving tools to monitor and moderate content relevant to a given project and supporting projects like Abstract Wikipedia, which rely on Wikidata’s data to provide content to readers in an automated fashion. |
|||
===<div style="background:#97b314; color:white; padding-left:20px">Target groups</div>=== |
|||
===<div style="color:#97b314">Project shapers</div>=== |
|||
Project shapers have their effect on Wikidata by facilitating and taking part in fundamental processes and decision-making. They create the rules and structures that hold the project together and are typically at the core of the community, with deep, overall understanding and care for the project. |
|||
'''Concerns and needs''': Project shapers want to create processes and rules that others can and want to follow, so the project can scale and remain healthy. |
|||
'''Connection to strategy''': Project shapers are integral to '''empowering the community to increase data quality''', guiding the decision-making process required to come to agreements on data modeling and more. They play a crucial role in '''facilitating equity in decision-making''', ensuring that a diverse set of voices is heard and their perspectives considered. We can support project shapers by creating tools and artefacts that make project policies and guidelines more actionable, as well as by supporting the creation of inclusive and open processes and guidelines to increase knowledge equity. |
|||
===<div style="color:#97b314">Gardeners</div>=== |
|||
Gardeners bring Wikidata to life by enhancing Wikidata’s quality and enforcing the rules and agreed-upon structures. Typically, they have subject-matter expertise and care deeply about quality in their topic areas. |
|||
'''Concerns and needs''': Gardeners currently have more work to do than is humanly possible. They require tools, rules and processes that support their quality work and that ensure others can contribute positively. |
|||
'''Connection to strategy''': Gardeners are integral in empowering the community to increase data quality as those who tend the garden that is Wikidata. They also play an important role in '''increasing re-use for increased impact''', as consistently modeled data is vital for easier re-use. We can support gardeners by creating more powerful tools and artefacts that empower their work (user interfaces that encompass project guidelines, tools to incorporate feedback from re-users, automated verification, etc.) and by attracting more editors to the project in order to lessen the workload. |
|||
[[File:Items-editors.png|frame|centre|Growth graphs of Wikidata Items and editorship]] |
|||
===<div style="color:#97b314">Representatives of diverse knowledge</div>=== |
|||
Representatives of diverse knowledge share viewpoints that would otherwise be underrepresented in Wikidata’s data in the contexts of language and culture, among others, and they play an important part in bringing missing voices to the fundamental discussions shaping the project. |
|||
'''Concerns and needs''': Representatives of diverse knowledge want to see their otherwise underrepresented knowledge reflected in Wikidata and the wider open knowledge ecosystem; they want their voices to be heard in fundamental decisions that shape the project. |
|||
'''Connection to strategy''': Representatives of diverse knowledge are crucial in '''facilitating equity in decision making''' as those who bring important perspectives, which would otherwise be absent, to discussions and decision making processes. We can support representatives of diverse knowledge by growing expert communities in underrepresented areas, supporting project shapers and facilitators in making fundamental decisions and bringing in otherwise missing points of view. |
|||
===<div style="color:#97b314">Small and medium-size re-users</div>=== |
|||
Small and medium-size re-users are building products and services on top of Wikidata’s data. They often contribute back and use Wikidata to overcome the competitive disadvantage of not owning their own knowledge graph. |
|||
'''Concerns and needs''': Small and medium-size re-users are looking for data that is easy to access and use without the burden of collecting and maintaining it on their own. |
|||
'''Connection to strategy''': Small and medium-size re-users are vital for '''increasing re-use for increased impact''' as those who can build new, useful applications and services on top of Wikidata’s data, thereby increasing the impact of our data in the world. These re-users tend to be more closely aligned with Wikimedia’s mission and values and include many free and open knowledge projects. We can support small and medium-sized re-users by making it easier to use Wikidata’s data and to give back to the commons. |
|||
===<div style="color:#97b314">Large re-users</div>=== |
|||
Large re-users are global organizations that are integrating Wikidata’s data into the internal knowledge graphs driving their products and services. Typically, they are able to help us improve Wikidata’s data through their processes for user feedback and internal quality assurance. |
|||
'''Concerns and needs''': Large re-users want easy access to high-quality data and are seeking ways to contribute in a meaningful way. |
|||
'''Connection to strategy''': Large re-users are important for '''increasing re-use for increased impact''' and for '''empowering the community to increase data quality''': they reach billions of people with their applications and services, and they have the resources to support us in securing and increasing data quality. We can support large re-users by making it easier for them to give back -- for example, by showing them how they can participate in the necessary work of maintaining Wikidata and by providing defined tools and processes to report issues they discover as they perform internal quality assurance. |

===<div style="background:#97b314; color:white; padding-left:20px">Purpose</div>=== |
|||
Wikidata makes it easier than ever to build apps and services around Linked Open Data. It achieves this by empowering communities from all over the world to collaboratively collect and organize important data about the world. |
|||
===<div style="background:#97b314; color:white; padding-left:20px">Guiding principles</div>=== |
|||
<ul> |
|||
<li>'''Openness:''' Wikidata’s content is free and open for anyone to use; participation is open for everyone. Our products should lead to more free and open data, and everyone should be able to join our movement. We want to reduce barriers for new participants.</li> |
|||
<li>'''Sustainability:''' Wikidata is here to stay. It is important to us that the users of our data can have confidence in us, which is why we aim for sustainability over speedy growth and quick wins.</li> |
|||
<li>'''Co-creation''': Wikidata stands or falls based on the health of its amazing community. We prioritize providing the community with the tools and knowledge they need to find solutions that fit their needs, which will ensure that our community -- including future contributors and volunteers -- continues to have the power to care for Wikidata. Wikidata and its community are not alone. We are well connected to the other Wikimedia projects, and a growing ecosystem of tools and applications exists around Wikidata, the Wikibase Ecosystem, and the larger Linked Open Data web. Our positive impact in the world is strongest when we work together.</li> |
|||
<li>'''Utility:''' In order to have an impact on the world, Wikidata’s content must be used outside of Wikidata. Making sure Wikidata’s data is widely used means we must ensure it remains useful for re-users. This includes maintaining high-quality data as well as easy access to that data.</li> |
|||
<li>'''Knowledge equity:''' The world is beautiful and complex; Wikidata should reflect that. We want to make sure that Wikidata and its decision-making processes support equity.</li></ul> |

===<div style="background:#97b314; color:white; padding-left:20px">Strategies</div>=== |
|||
===<div style="color:#97b314">Empower the community to increase data quality</div>=== |
|||
We must ensure that our socio-technical system helps editors increase the quality of Wikidata’s existing data and contribute new high-quality data. |
|||
==== Why focus here? ==== |
|||
We want and need Wikidata’s data to be accurate and verifiable, especially as more and more technology in everyday use relies on our data in providing applications and services. This state of affairs places increased pressure on Wikidata to provide high-quality data and increases the incentives to manipulate our data. Meanwhile, the growth of Wikidata’s content is outpacing the community’s own growth and its ability to maintain that content. |
|||
==== How might we address this? ==== |
|||
We can establish feedback loops with data re-users, perform automated verification of data and issue detection, and develop tools and artefacts that make project policies and guidelines easier to implement (e.g., more powerful Entity Schemas). |
|||
===<div style="color:#97b314">Facilitate equity in decision making</div>=== |
|||
We want to ensure that diverse perspectives come into play as fundamental decisions are made for and about Wikidata. By doing so we can better support knowledge often underrepresented in knowledge graphs. |
|||
==== Why focus here? ==== |
|||
We are committed to equity within Wikidata, and it plays an especially important role in our fundamental decision-making processes. |
|||
==== How might we address this? ==== |
|||
We can address this by amplifying voices that are raising awareness and by bringing perspectives to the discussion that have so far been missing from it. We can create spaces for discussion and help with facilitation. |
|||
===<div style="color:#97b314">Increase re-use for increased impact</div>=== |
|||
We want to make sure that anyone can use the data in Wikidata to make the world a better place. While everyone can re-use our data, we give priority to organizations and projects that align with our values and have a high impact. |
|||
==== Why focus here? ==== |
|||
We want more people to benefit from the data Wikidata provides. High-impact projects that are aligned with our vision and values, along with re-users giving back to Wikidata, provide a greater collective benefit simply by reaching more people. |
|||
==== How might we address this? ==== |
|||
We can leverage our new and improved APIs and our improved documentation and showcases and throw more support behind high-impact re-users: namely, educational re-users, those working towards knowledge equity and those that give back. |
|||
===<div style="color:#97b314">Strengthen underrepresented languages</div>=== |
|||
More people need access to knowledge and technology presented in their own language, and content in that language should be accessible to all. Language data is a fundamental building block in reaching that goal. |
|||
==== Why focus here? ==== |
|||
The underrepresentation of some languages in the realms of technology and of knowledge in general constitutes a significant barrier to granting as many people as possible access to the world’s knowledge in their own language. |
|||
==== How might we address this? ==== |
|||
A direct path to improving that situation would be to increase access to multilingual machine-readable data, which would then serve as a basis for apps and services. Improving the user interface for lexicographical data and making lexicographical data accessible in Wiktionary will go some way toward that goal. |
|||
===<div style="color:#97b314">Enable Wikimedia Projects to share their workload</div>=== |
|||
The Wikimedia Projects should be able to rely on Wikidata to share their workload across language and project family boundaries. |
|||
==== Why focus here? ==== |
|||
We want all Wikimedia Projects and language versions of these projects to flourish; that’s the best and most effective path to giving every single human being access to the sum of all knowledge. To this end, we must support smaller and medium-size projects in particular and free them to rely on Wikidata as a source of basic data that is collectively maintained. |
|||
Currently, Wikidata and the other Wikimedia Projects are not tightly integrated, nor is the integration yet elaborate enough to take full advantage of this workload sharing. Wikidata benefits immensely from the efforts, expertise and experience of contributors from other Wikimedia Projects -- not only in keeping its data well maintained, but also in learning from community processes and other experiences that can be applied to Wikidata. |
|||
==== How might we address this? ==== |
|||
We can build out interfaces that allow users to edit Wikidata from the other Wikimedia Projects, e.g., Wikidata Bridge, as well as improving tools to monitor and moderate content relevant to a given project and supporting projects like Abstract Wikipedia, which rely on Wikidata’s data to provide content to readers in an automated fashion. |
|||
===<div style="background:#97b314; color:white; padding-left:20px">Target groups</div>=== |
|||
===<div style="color:#97b314">Project shapers</div>=== |
|||
Project shapers have their effect on Wikidata by facilitating and taking part in fundamental processes and decision-making. They create the rules and structures that hold the project together and are typically at the core of the community, with deep, overall understanding and care for the project. |
|||
'''Concerns and needs''': Project shapers want to create processes and rules that others can and want to follow, so the project can scale and remain healthy. |
|||
'''Connection to strategy''': Project shapers are integral to '''empowering the community to increase data quality''', guiding the decision-making process required to come to agreements on data modeling and more. They play a crucial role in '''facilitating equity in decision-making''', ensuring that a diverse set of voices is heard and their perspectives considered. We can support project shapers by creating tools and artefacts that make project policies and guidelines more actionable, as well as by supporting the creation of inclusive and open processes and guidelines to increase knowledge equity. |
|||
===<div style="color:#97b314">Gardeners</div>=== |
|||
Gardeners bring Wikidata to life by enhancing Wikidata’s quality and enforcing the rules and agreed-upon structures. Typically, they have subject-matter expertise and care deeply about quality in their topic areas. |
|||
'''Concerns and needs''': Gardeners currently have more work to do than is humanly possible. They require tools, rules and processes that support their quality work and that ensure others can contribute positively. |
|||
'''Connection to strategy''': Gardeners are integral in empowering the community to increase data quality as those who tend the garden that is Wikidata. They also play an important role in '''increasing re-use for increased impact''', as consistently modeled data is vital for easier re-use. We can support gardeners by creating more powerful tools and artefacts that empower their work (user interfaces that encompass project guidelines, tools to incorporate feedback from re-users, automated verification, etc.) and by attracting more editors to the project in order to lessen the workload. |
|||
[[File:Items-editors.png|frame|centre|Growth graphs of Wikidata Items and editorship]] |
|||
===<div style="color:#97b314">Representatives of diverse knowledge</div>=== |
|||
Representatives of diverse knowledge share viewpoints that would otherwise be underrepresented in Wikidata’s data in the contexts of language and culture, among others, and they play an important part in bringing missing voices to the fundamental discussions shaping the project. |
|||
'''Concerns and needs''': Representatives of diverse knowledge want to see their otherwise underrepresented knowledge reflected in Wikidata and the wider open knowledge ecosystem; they want their voices to be heard in fundamental decisions that shape the project. |
|||
'''Connection to strategy''': Representatives of diverse knowledge are crucial in '''facilitating equity in decision making''' as those who bring important perspectives, which would otherwise be absent, to discussions and decision making processes. We can support representatives of diverse knowledge by growing expert communities in underrepresented areas, supporting project shapers and facilitators in making fundamental decisions and bringing in otherwise missing points of view. |
|||
===<div style="color:#97b314">Small and medium-size re-users</div>=== |
|||
Small and medium-size re-users are building products and services on top of Wikidata’s data. They often contribute back and use Wikidata to overcome the competitive disadvantage of not owning their own knowledge graph. |
|||
'''Concerns and needs''': Small and medium-size re-users are looking for data that is easy to access and use without the burden of collecting and maintaining it on their own. |
|||
'''Connection to strategy''': Small and medium-size re-users are vital for '''increasing re-use for increased impact''' as those who can build new, useful applications and services on top of Wikidata’s data, thereby increasing the impact of our data in the world. These re-users tend to be more closely aligned with Wikimedia’s mission and values and include many free and open knowledge projects. We can support small and medium-sized re-users by making it easier to use Wikidata’s data and to give back to the commons. |
|||
===<div style="color:#97b314">Large re-users</div>=== |
|||
Large re-users are global organizations that are integrating Wikidata’s data into the internal knowledge graphs driving their products and services. Typically, they are able to help us improve Wikidata’s data through their processes for user feedback and internal quality assurance. |
|||
'''Concerns and needs''': Large re-users want easy access to high-quality data and are seeking ways to contribute in a meaningful way. |
|||
'''Connection to strategy''': Large re-users are important for '''increasing re-use for increased impact''' and for '''empowering the community to increase data quality''': they reach billions of people with their applications and services, and they have the resources to support us in securing and increasing data quality. We can support large re-users by making it easier for them to give back -- for example, by showing them how they can participate in the necessary work of maintaining Wikidata and by providing defined tools and processes to report issues they discover as they perform internal quality assurance. |

===<div style="background:#97b314; color:white; padding-left:20px">Purpose</div>=== |
|||
Wikidata makes it easier than ever to build apps and services around Linked Open Data. It achieves this by empowering communities from all over the world to collaboratively collect and organize important data about the world. |
|||
===<div style="background:#97b314; color:white; padding-left:20px">Guiding principles</div>=== |
|||
<ul> |
|||
<li>'''Openness:''' Wikidata’s content is free and open for anyone to use; participation is open for everyone. Our products should lead to more free and open data, and everyone should be able to join our movement. We want to reduce barriers for new participants.</li> |
|||
<li>'''Sustainability:''' Wikidata is here to stay. It is important to us that the users of our data can have confidence in us, which is why we aim for sustainability over speedy growth and quick wins.</li> |
|||
<li>'''Co-creation''': Wikidata stands or falls based on the health of its amazing community. We prioritize providing the community with the tools and knowledge they need to find solutions that fit their needs, which will ensure that our community -- including future contributors and volunteers -- continues to have the power to care for Wikidata. Wikidata and its community are not alone. We are well connected to the other Wikimedia projects, and a growing ecosystem of tools and applications exists around Wikidata, the Wikibase Ecosystem, and the larger Linked Open Data web. Our positive impact in the world is strongest when we work together.</li> |
|||
<li>'''Utility:''' In order to have an impact on the world, Wikidata’s content must be used outside of Wikidata. Making sure Wikidata’s data is widely used means we must ensure it remains useful for re-users. This includes maintaining high-quality data as well as easy access to that data.</li> |
|||
<li>'''Knowledge equity:''' The world is beautiful and complex; Wikidata should reflect that. We want to make sure that Wikidata and its decision-making processes support equity.</li></ul> |
|||
===<div style="background:#97b314; color:white; padding-left:20px">Background info</div>=== |
|||
<u>[[wikidata:Wikidata:Introduction#https://linkedopendata.eu/wiki/Item:Q2645118|Wikidata is a free, collaborative, multilingual knowledge base with a focus on verifiability]]</u>. It collects structured data to provide support for Wikipedia, the other wikis in the Wikimedia movement, and anyone in the world with a need for general-purpose structured data. Wikidata is based on the Wikibase software and provides data, an ontology and links to other databases. |
|||
Wikidata’s data constitutes the basis for a wide variety of applications and services both inside and outside the Wikimedia movement. It is an increasingly important building block for much of the technology we use every day. |
|||
Wikidata has just turned nine years old and is thriving more than ever. We now need nine digits for our identifiers (<u>[[wmfblog:2020/10/06/wikidata-reaches-q100000000/https://linkedopendata.eu/wiki/Item:Q2645118|welcome Q100000001]]</u>), and this summer we crossed the 1.5-billion edit mark. A full 72% of Wikipedia articles use Wikidata for infobox content, auto-categorization, flagging maintenance work and other support functionality, not to mention site links, which are used in 97% of all Wikipedia articles. The Wikidata Query Service sees 11 million queries per day. Wikidata has also successfully expanded into the area of lexicographical data, forming the basis for new initiatives such as Abstract Wikipedia. |
|||
=== Examples of current Wikidata use === |
|||
Wikidata offers basic building blocks that can be used in various ways. Here are some examples of how Wikidata’s various types of content are currently used: |
|||
<ul> |
|||
<li>'''Accessing basic information:''' These projects use Wikidata to retrieve basic data on specific entities. |
|||
<ul> |
|||
<li>[http://auregann.fr/derdiedas/ <u>DerDieDas</u>]: This game uses data from Wikidata’s Lexemes to instruct users in the correct articles for German nouns.</li> |

|||
<li>[https://search.brave.com/search?q=Berlin <u>Brave search</u>]: This search engine uses data from Wikidata to show information boxes in their search results.</li></ul> |
|||
</li> |
|||
<li>'''Augmenting other data:''' These projects use Wikidata to retrieve data that enriches data they already have. |
|||
<ul> |
|||
<li>[https://musicbrainz.org/area/08310658-51eb-3801-80de-5a0739207115 <u>Musicbrainz</u>]: This music encyclopedia augments their music data with Wikidata’s data on concepts (e.g., countries) that are related to but not an essential part of their knowledge area.</li> |

|||
</li> |
|||
<li>'''Machine learning:''' These projects use Wikidata as a source of training data for machine-learning systems. |
|||
<ul> |
|||
<li>[http://ceur-ws.org/Vol-2535/paper_7.pdf <u>Exploration of historical theatre photographs</u>]: Researchers used Wikidata’s data in support of a machine-learning system that performs image recognition on a collection of old theatre photographs. Wikidata’s data facilitated plausibility checks. If the image detection algorithm recognized, for example, a laptop in a historic photo, it would be marked as highly unlikely, based on when laptops were invented.</li> |

===<div style="background:#97b314; color:white; padding-left:20px">Strategies</div>=== |
|||
===<div style="color:#97b314">Empower the community to increase data quality</div>=== |
|||
We must ensure that our socio-technical system helps editors increase the quality of Wikidata’s existing data and contribute new high-quality data. |
|||
==== Why focus here? ==== |
|||
We want and need Wikidata’s data to be accurate and verifiable, especially as more and more technology in everyday use relies on our data in providing applications and services. This state of affairs places increased pressure on Wikidata to provide high-quality data and increases the incentives to manipulate our data. Meanwhile, the growth of Wikidata’s content is outpacing the community’s own growth and its ability to maintain that content. |
|||
==== How might we address this? ==== |
|||
We can establish feedback loops with data re-users, perform automated verification of data and issue detection, and develop tools and artefacts that make project policies and guidelines easier to implement (e.g., more powerful Entity Schemas). |
|||
===<div style="color:#97b314">Facilitate equity in decision making</div>=== |
|||
We want to ensure that diverse perspectives come into play as fundamental decisions are made for and about Wikidata. By doing so we can better support knowledge often underrepresented in knowledge graphs. |
|||
==== Why focus here? ==== |
|||
We are committed to equity within Wikidata, and it plays an especially important role in our fundamental decision-making processes. |
|||
==== How might we address this? ==== |
|||
We can address this by amplifying voices that are raising awareness and by bringing perspectives to the discussion that have so far been missing from it. We can create spaces for discussion and help with facilitation. |
|||
===<div style="color:#97b314">Increase re-use for increased impact</div>=== |
|||
We want to make sure that anyone can use the data in Wikidata to make the world a better place. While everyone can re-use our data, we give priority to organizations and projects that align with our values and have a high impact. |
|||
==== Why focus here? ==== |
|||
We want more people to benefit from the data Wikidata provides. High-impact projects that are aligned with our vision and values, along with re-users giving back to Wikidata, provide a greater collective benefit simply by reaching more people. |
|||
==== How might we address this? ==== |
|||
We can leverage our new and improved APIs and our improved documentation and showcases and throw more support behind high-impact re-users: namely, educational re-users, those working towards knowledge equity and those that give back. |
|||
===<div style="color:#97b314">Strengthen underrepresented languages</div>=== |
|||
More people need access to knowledge and technology presented in their own language, and content in that language should be accessible to all. Language data is a fundamental building block in reaching that goal. |
|||
==== Why focus here? ==== |
|||
The underrepresentation of some languages in the realms of technology and of knowledge in general constitutes a significant barrier to granting as many people as possible access to the world’s knowledge in their own language. |
|||
==== How might we address this? ==== |
|||
A direct path to improving that situation would be to increase access to multilingual machine-readable data, which would then serve as a basis for apps and services. Improving the user interface for lexicographical data and making lexicographical data accessible in Wiktionary will go some way toward that goal. |
|||
===<div style="color:#97b314">Enable Wikimedia Projects to share their workload</div>=== |
|||
The Wikimedia Projects should be able to rely on Wikidata to share their workload across language and project family boundaries. |
|||
==== Why focus here? ==== |
|||
We want all Wikimedia Projects and language versions of these projects to flourish; that’s the best and most effective path to giving every single human being access to the sum of all knowledge. To this end, we must support smaller and medium-size projects in particular and free them to rely on Wikidata as a source of basic data that is collectively maintained. |
|||
Currently, Wikidata and the other Wikimedia Projects are not tightly integrated, nor is the integration yet elaborate enough to take full advantage of this workload sharing. Wikidata benefits immensely from the efforts, expertise and experience of contributors from other Wikimedia Projects -- not only in keeping its data well maintained, but also in learning from community processes and other experiences that can be applied to Wikidata. |
|||
==== How might we address this? ==== |
|||
We can build out interfaces that allow users to edit Wikidata from the other Wikimedia Projects, e.g., Wikidata Bridge, as well as improving tools to monitor and moderate content relevant to a given project and supporting projects like Abstract Wikipedia, which rely on Wikidata’s data to provide content to readers in an automated fashion. |
|||
===<div style="background:#97b314; color:white; padding-left:20px">Target groups</div>=== |
|||
===<div style="color:#97b314">Project shapers</div>=== |
|||
Project shapers have their effect on Wikidata by facilitating and taking part in fundamental processes and decision-making. They create the rules and structures that hold the project together and are typically at the core of the community, with deep, overall understanding and care for the project. |
|||
'''Concerns and needs''': Project shapers want to create processes and rules that others can and want to follow, so the project can scale and remain healthy. |
|||
'''Connection to strategy''': Project shapers are integral to '''empowering the community to increase data quality''', guiding the decision-making process required to come to agreements on data modeling and more. They play a crucial role in '''facilitating equity in decision-making''', ensuring that a diverse set of voices is heard and their perspectives considered. We can support project shapers by creating tools and artefacts that make project policies and guidelines more actionable, as well as by supporting the creation of inclusive and open processes and guidelines to increase knowledge equity. |
|||
===<div style="color:#97b314">Gardeners</div>=== |
|||
Gardeners bring Wikidata to life by enhancing Wikidata’s quality and enforcing the rules and agreed-upon structures. Typically, they have subject-matter expertise and care deeply about quality in their topic areas. |
|||
'''Concerns and needs''': Gardeners currently have more work to do than is humanly possible. They require tools, rules and processes that support their quality work and that ensure others can contribute positively. |
|||
'''Connection to strategy''': Gardeners are integral in empowering the community to increase data quality as those who tend the garden that is Wikidata. They also play an important role in '''increasing re-use for increased impact''', as consistently modeled data is vital for easier re-use. We can support gardeners by creating more powerful tools and artefacts that empower their work (user interfaces that encompass project guidelines, tools to incorporate feedback from re-users, automated verification, etc.) and by attracting more editors to the project in order to lessen the workload. |
|||
[[File:Items-editors.png|frame|centre|Growth graphs of Wikidata Items and editorship]] |
|||
===<div style="color:#97b314">Representatives of diverse knowledge</div>=== |
|||
Representatives of diverse knowledge share viewpoints that would otherwise be underrepresented in Wikidata’s data in the contexts of language and culture, among others, and they play an important part in bringing missing voices to the fundamental discussions shaping the project. |
|||
'''Concerns and needs''': Representatives of diverse knowledge want to see their otherwise underrepresented knowledge reflected in Wikidata and the wider open knowledge ecosystem; they want their voices to be heard in fundamental decisions that shape the project. |
|||
'''Connection to strategy''': Representatives of diverse knowledge are crucial in '''facilitating equity in decision making''' as those who bring important perspectives, which would otherwise be absent, to discussions and decision making processes. We can support representatives of diverse knowledge by growing expert communities in underrepresented areas, supporting project shapers and facilitators in making fundamental decisions and bringing in otherwise missing points of view. |
|||
===<div style="color:#97b314">Small and medium-size re-users</div>=== |
|||
Small and medium-size re-users are building products and services on top of Wikidata’s data. They often contribute back and use Wikidata to overcome the competitive disadvantage of not owning their own knowledge graph. |
|||
'''Concerns and needs''': Small and medium-size re-users are looking for data that is easy to access and use without the burden of collecting and maintaining it on their own. |
|||
'''Connection to strategy''': Small and medium-size re-users are vital for '''increasing re-use for increased impact''' as those who can build new, useful applications and services on top of Wikidata’s data, thereby increasing the impact of our data in the world. These re-users tend to be more closely aligned with Wikimedia’s mission and values and include many free and open knowledge projects. We can support small and medium-sized re-users by making it easier to use Wikidata’s data and to give back to the commons. |
|||
===<div style="color:#97b314">Large re-users</div>=== |
|||
Large re-users are global organizations that are integrating Wikidata’s data into the internal knowledge graphs driving their products and services. Typically, they are able to help us improve Wikidata’s data through their processes for user feedback and internal quality assurance. |
|||
'''Concerns and needs''': Large re-users want easy access to high-quality data and are seeking ways to contribute in a meaningful way. |
|||
'''Connection to strategy''': Large re-users are important for '''increasing re-use for increased impact''' and for '''empowering the community to increase data quality''': they reach billions of people with their applications and services, and they have the resources to support us in securing and increasing data quality. We can support large re-users by making it easier for them to give back -- for example, by showing them how they can participate in the necessary work of maintaining Wikidata and by providing defined tools and processes to report issues they discover as they perform internal quality assurance. |

===<div style="background:#97b314; color:white; padding-left:20px">Purpose</div>=== |
|||
Wikidata makes it easier than ever to build apps and services around Linked Open Data. It achieves this by empowering communities from all over the world to collaboratively collect and organize important data about the world. |
|||
===<div style="background:#97b314; color:white; padding-left:20px">Guiding principles</div>=== |
|||
<ul> |
|||
<li>'''Openness:''' Wikidata’s content is free and open for anyone to use; participation is open for everyone. Our products should lead to more free and open data, and everyone should be able to join our movement. We want to reduce barriers for new participants.</li> |
|||
<li>'''Sustainability:''' Wikidata is here to stay. It is important to us that the users of our data can have confidence in us, which is why we aim for sustainability over speedy growth and quick wins.</li> |
|||
<li>'''Co-creation''': Wikidata stands or falls based on the health of its amazing community. We prioritize providing the community with the tools and knowledge they need to find solutions that fit their needs, which will ensure that our community -- including future contributors and volunteers -- continues to have the power to care for Wikidata. Wikidata and its community are not alone. We are well connected to the other Wikimedia projects, and a growing ecosystem of tools and applications exists around Wikidata, the Wikibase Ecosystem, and the larger Linked Open Data web. Our positive impact in the world is strongest when we work together.</li> |
|||
<li>'''Utility:''' In order to have an impact on the world, Wikidata’s content must be used outside of Wikidata. Making sure Wikidata’s data is widely used means we must ensure it remains useful for re-users. This includes maintaining high-quality data as well as easy access to that data.</li> |
|||
<li>'''Knowledge equity:''' The world is beautiful and complex; Wikidata should reflect that. We want to make sure that Wikidata and its decision-making processes support equity.</li></ul> |
|||
===<div style="background:#97b314; color:white; padding-left:20px">Background info</div>=== |
|||
<u>[[wikidata:Wikidata:Introduction#https://linkedopendata.eu/wiki/Item:Q2645118|Wikidata is a free, collaborative, multilingual knowledge base with a focus on verifiability]]</u>. It collects structured data to provide support for Wikipedia, the other wikis in the Wikimedia movement, and anyone in the world with a need for general-purpose structured data. Wikidata is based on the Wikibase software and provides data, an ontology and links to other databases. |
|||
Wikidata’s data constitutes the basis for a wide variety of applications and services both inside and outside the Wikimedia movement. It is an increasingly important building block for much of the technology we use every day. |
|||
Wikidata has just turned nine years old and is thriving more than ever. We now need nine digits for our identifiers (<u>[[wmfblog:2020/10/06/wikidata-reaches-q100000000/https://linkedopendata.eu/wiki/Item:Q2645118|welcome Q100000001]]</u>), and this summer we crossed the 1.5-billion edit mark. A full 72% of Wikipedia articles use Wikidata for infobox content, auto-categorization, flagging maintenance work and other support functionality, not to mention site links, which are used in 97% of all Wikipedia articles. The Wikidata Query Service sees 11 million queries per day. Wikidata has also successfully expanded into the area of lexicographical data, forming the basis for new initiatives such as Abstract Wikipedia. |
|||
=== Examples of current Wikidata use === |
|||
Wikidata offers basic building blocks that can be used in various ways. Here are some examples of how Wikidata’s various types of content are currently used: |
|||
<ul> |
|||
<li>'''Accessing basic information:''' These projects use Wikidata to retrieve basic data on specific entities. |
|||
<ul> |
|||
<li>[http://auregann.fr/derdiedas/ <u>DerDieDas</u>]: This game uses data from Wikidata’s Lexemes to instruct users in the correct articles for German nouns.</li> |
|||
<li>[https://store.kde.org/p/1389861 <u>MyCroft AI</u>]: This digital personal assistant accesses data from Wikidata to answer general-knowledge questions.</li> |
|||
<li>[https://search.brave.com/search?q=Berlin <u>Brave search</u>]: This search engine uses data from Wikidata to show information boxes in their search results.</li></ul> |
|||
</li> |
|||
<li>'''Augmenting other data:''' These projects use Wikidata to retrieve data that enriches data they already have. |
|||
<ul> |
|||
<li>[https://musicbrainz.org/area/08310658-51eb-3801-80de-5a0739207115 <u>Musicbrainz</u>]: This music encyclopedia augments their music data with Wikidata’s data on concepts (e.g., countries) that are related to but not an essential part of their knowledge area.</li> |
|||
<li>[https://kanopi.io <u>Kanopi</u>]: This semantic note-taking application allows users to link to Wikidata Items and easily augment their notes with data from Wikidata.</li> |
|||
<li>[https://twitter.com/openlibrary/status/1274104107851083776 <u>OpenLibrary</u>]: This book-tracking website uses Wikidata to retrieve data on the gender, origin and other attributes of the authors in their catalog, allowing them to provide their readers with statistics on biases in their reading behavior.</li></ul> |
|||
</li> |
|||
<li>'''Machine learning:''' These projects use Wikidata as a source of training data for machine-learning systems. |
|||
<ul> |
|||
<li>[http://ceur-ws.org/Vol-2535/paper_7.pdf <u>Exploration of historical theatre photographs</u>]: Researchers used Wikidata’s data in support of a machine-learning system that performs image recognition on a collection of old theatre photographs. Wikidata’s data facilitated plausibility checks. If the image detection algorithm recognized, for example, a laptop in a historic photo, it would be marked as highly unlikely, based on when laptops were invented.</li> |
|||
<li><u>[https://openai.com/blog/discovering-types-for-entity-disambiguation/https://linkedopendata.eu/wiki/Item:Q2645118 OpenAI]</u>: One of OpenAI’s machine-learning systems uses data from Wikidata to perform entity disambiguation: helping a computer differentiate between two entities with the same name mentioned in a text -- for example, distinguishing between Jaguar (the make of automobile) and a jaguar (the animal).</li> |
|||
<li>[https://demo.txtwerk.de/txt-demo/ <u>TXT Werk</u>]: This company is using Wikidata’s data and entities as a basis for their named-entity recognition tool, which allows users to extract entities from a given text and identify them by their Q-ID.</li></ul> |
|||
</li> |
|||
<li>'''Data cleaning and reconciliation:''' Wikidata’s statements and ontology are used to connect and clean up a data set. |
|||
<ul> |
|||
<li>[https://quoraontology.quora.com/Wikidata-and-Quora-Topics <u>Quora</u>]: Their question-answering side uses connections to Wikidata to compare their ontology to Wikidata’s and then correct mistakes in both ontologies.</li></ul> |
|||
</li> |
|||
<li>'''Data exploration and visualization:''' Wikidata’s data is used to give new insights and overviews in areas such as journalism, education and research. |
|||
<ul> |
|||
<li>[https://polmeth2020.org/measuring-political-elite-networks-wikidata <u>Measuring Political Elite Networks</u>]: This researcher uses the entities for elite organizations and persons and the connections between them to better understand how political power networks across the world work.</li> |
|||

|||
<li>[https://openartbrowser.org/ <u>Open Art Browser</u>]: This art website lets users explore visual art across time, movements, locations, motifs and more.</li></ul> |
|||
</li> |
|||
<li>'''Gateway to LOD web:''' Wikidata’s links to other websites, catalogs, archives and more are used to access additional information. |
|||

We can establish feedback loops with data re-users, perform automated verification of data and issue detection, and develop tools and artefacts that make project policies and guidelines easier to implement (e.g., more powerful Entity Schemas). |
|||
===<div style="color:#97b314">Facilitate equity in decision making</div>=== |
|||
We want to ensure that diverse perspectives come into play as fundamental decisions are made for and about Wikidata. By doing so we can better support knowledge often underrepresented in knowledge graphs. |
|||
==== Why focus here? ==== |
|||
We are committed to equity within Wikidata, and it plays an especially important role in our fundamental decision-making processes. |
|||
==== How might we address this? ==== |
|||
We can address this by amplifying voices that are raising awareness and by bringing perspectives to the discussion that have so far been missing from it. We can create spaces for discussion and help with facilitation. |
|||
===<div style="color:#97b314">Increase re-use for increased impact</div>=== |
|||
We want to make sure that anyone can use the data in Wikidata to make the world a better place. While everyone can re-use our data, we give priority to organizations and projects that align with our values and have a high impact. |
|||
==== Why focus here? ==== |
|||
We want more people to benefit from the data Wikidata provides. High-impact projects that are aligned with our vision and values, along with re-users giving back to Wikidata, provide a greater collective benefit simply by reaching more people. |
|||
==== How might we address this? ==== |
|||
We can leverage our new and improved APIs and our improved documentation and showcases and throw more support behind high-impact re-users: namely, educational re-users, those working towards knowledge equity and those that give back. |
|||
===<div style="color:#97b314">Strengthen underrepresented languages</div>=== |
|||
More people need access to knowledge and technology presented in their own language, and content in that language should be accessible to all. Language data is a fundamental building block in reaching that goal. |
|||
==== Why focus here? ==== |
|||
The underrepresentation of some languages in the realms of technology and of knowledge in general constitutes a significant barrier to granting as many people as possible access to the world’s knowledge in their own language. |
|||
==== How might we address this? ==== |
|||
A direct path to improving that situation would be to increase access to multilingual machine-readable data, which would then serve as a basis for apps and services. Improving the user interface for lexicographical data and making lexicographical data accessible in Wiktionary will go some way toward that goal. |
|||
===<div style="color:#97b314">Enable Wikimedia Projects to share their workload</div>=== |
|||
The Wikimedia Projects should be able to rely on Wikidata to share their workload across language and project family boundaries. |
|||
==== Why focus here? ==== |
|||
We want all Wikimedia Projects and language versions of these projects to flourish; that’s the best and most effective path to giving every single human being access to the sum of all knowledge. To this end, we must support smaller and medium-size projects in particular and free them to rely on Wikidata as a source of basic data that is collectively maintained. |
|||
Currently, Wikidata and the other Wikimedia Projects are not tightly integrated, nor is the integration yet elaborate enough to take full advantage of this workload sharing. Wikidata benefits immensely from the efforts, expertise and experience of contributors from other Wikimedia Projects -- not only in keeping its data well maintained, but also in learning from community processes and other experiences that can be applied to Wikidata. |
|||
==== How might we address this? ==== |
|||
We can build out interfaces that allow users to edit Wikidata from the other Wikimedia Projects, e.g., Wikidata Bridge, as well as improving tools to monitor and moderate content relevant to a given project and supporting projects like Abstract Wikipedia, which rely on Wikidata’s data to provide content to readers in an automated fashion. |

===<div style="background:#97b314; color:white; padding-left:20px">Target groups</div>=== |
|||
===<div style="color:#97b314">Project shapers</div>=== |
|||
Project shapers have their effect on Wikidata by facilitating and taking part in fundamental processes and decision-making. They create the rules and structures that hold the project together and are typically at the core of the community, with deep, overall understanding and care for the project. |
|||
'''Concerns and needs''': Project shapers want to create processes and rules that others can and want to follow, so the project can scale and remain healthy. |
|||
'''Connection to strategy''': Project shapers are integral to '''empowering the community to increase data quality''', guiding the decision-making process required to come to agreements on data modeling and more. They play a crucial role in '''facilitating equity in decision-making''', ensuring that a diverse set of voices is heard and their perspectives considered. We can support project shapers by creating tools and artefacts that make project policies and guidelines more actionable, as well as by supporting the creation of inclusive and open processes and guidelines to increase knowledge equity. |
|||
===<div style="color:#97b314">Gardeners</div>=== |
|||
Gardeners bring Wikidata to life by enhancing Wikidata’s quality and enforcing the rules and agreed-upon structures. Typically, they have subject-matter expertise and care deeply about quality in their topic areas. |
|||
'''Concerns and needs''': Gardeners currently have more work to do than is humanly possible. They require tools, rules and processes that support their quality work and that ensure others can contribute positively. |
|||
'''Connection to strategy''': Gardeners are integral in empowering the community to increase data quality as those who tend the garden that is Wikidata. They also play an important role in '''increasing re-use for increased impact''', as consistently modeled data is vital for easier re-use. We can support gardeners by creating more powerful tools and artefacts that empower their work (user interfaces that encompass project guidelines, tools to incorporate feedback from re-users, automated verification, etc.) and by attracting more editors to the project in order to lessen the workload. |

[[File:Items-editors.png|frame|centre|Growth graphs of Wikidata Items and editorship]] |
|||
===<div style="color:#97b314">Representatives of diverse knowledge</div>=== |
|||
Representatives of diverse knowledge share viewpoints that would otherwise be underrepresented in Wikidata’s data in the contexts of language and culture, among others, and they play an important part in bringing missing voices to the fundamental discussions shaping the project. |
|||
'''Concerns and needs''': Representatives of diverse knowledge want to see their otherwise underrepresented knowledge reflected in Wikidata and the wider open knowledge ecosystem; they want their voices to be heard in fundamental decisions that shape the project. |
|||
'''Connection to strategy''': Representatives of diverse knowledge are crucial in '''facilitating equity in decision making''' as those who bring important perspectives, which would otherwise be absent, to discussions and decision making processes. We can support representatives of diverse knowledge by growing expert communities in underrepresented areas, supporting project shapers and facilitators in making fundamental decisions and bringing in otherwise missing points of view. |
|||
===<div style="color:#97b314">Small and medium-size re-users</div>=== |
|||
Small and medium-size re-users are building products and services on top of Wikidata’s data. They often contribute back and use Wikidata to overcome the competitive disadvantage of not owning their own knowledge graph. |
|||
'''Concerns and needs''': Small and medium-size re-users are looking for data that is easy to access and use without the burden of collecting and maintaining it on their own. |
|||
'''Connection to strategy''': Small and medium-size re-users are vital for '''increasing re-use for increased impact''' as those who can build new, useful applications and services on top of Wikidata’s data, thereby increasing the impact of our data in the world. These re-users tend to be more closely aligned with Wikimedia’s mission and values and include many free and open knowledge projects. We can support small and medium-sized re-users by making it easier to use Wikidata’s data and to give back to the commons. |
|||
===<div style="color:#97b314">Large re-users</div>=== |
|||
Large re-users are global organizations that are integrating Wikidata’s data into the internal knowledge graphs driving their products and services. Typically, they are able to help us improve Wikidata’s data through their processes for user feedback and internal quality assurance. |
|||
'''Concerns and needs''': Large re-users want easy access to high-quality data and are seeking ways to contribute in a meaningful way. |
|||
'''Connection to strategy''': Large re-users are important for '''increasing re-use for increased impact''' and for '''empowering the community to increase data quality''': they reach billions of people with their applications and services, and they have the resources to support us in securing and increasing data quality. We can support large re-users by making it easier for them to give back -- for example, by showing them how they can participate in the necessary work of maintaining Wikidata and by providing defined tools and processes to report issues they discover as they perform internal quality assurance. |

===<div style="background:#97b314; color:white; padding-left:20px">Purpose</div>=== |
|||
Wikidata makes it easier than ever to build apps and services around Linked Open Data. It achieves this by empowering communities from all over the world to collaboratively collect and organize important data about the world. |
|||
===<div style="background:#97b314; color:white; padding-left:20px">Guiding principles</div>=== |
|||
<ul> |
|||
<li>'''Openness:''' Wikidata’s content is free and open for anyone to use; participation is open for everyone. Our products should lead to more free and open data, and everyone should be able to join our movement. We want to reduce barriers for new participants.</li> |
|||
<li>'''Sustainability:''' Wikidata is here to stay. It is important to us that the users of our data can have confidence in us, which is why we aim for sustainability over speedy growth and quick wins.</li> |
|||
<li>'''Co-creation''': Wikidata stands or falls based on the health of its amazing community. We prioritize providing the community with the tools and knowledge they need to find solutions that fit their needs, which will ensure that our community -- including future contributors and volunteers -- continues to have the power to care for Wikidata. Wikidata and its community are not alone. We are well connected to the other Wikimedia projects, and a growing ecosystem of tools and applications exists around Wikidata, the Wikibase Ecosystem, and the larger Linked Open Data web. Our positive impact in the world is strongest when we work together.</li> |
|||
<li>'''Utility:''' In order to have an impact on the world, Wikidata’s content must be used outside of Wikidata. Making sure Wikidata’s data is widely used means we must ensure it remains useful for re-users. This includes maintaining high-quality data as well as easy access to that data.</li> |
|||
<li>'''Knowledge equity:''' The world is beautiful and complex; Wikidata should reflect that. We want to make sure that Wikidata and its decision-making processes support equity.</li></ul> |
|||
===<div style="background:#97b314; color:white; padding-left:20px">Background info</div>=== |
|||
<u>[[wikidata:Wikidata:Introduction#https://linkedopendata.eu/wiki/Item:Q2645118|Wikidata is a free, collaborative, multilingual knowledge base with a focus on verifiability]]</u>. It collects structured data to provide support for Wikipedia, the other wikis in the Wikimedia movement, and anyone in the world with a need for general-purpose structured data. Wikidata is based on the Wikibase software and provides data, an ontology and links to other databases. |
|||
Wikidata’s data constitutes the basis for a wide variety of applications and services both inside and outside the Wikimedia movement. It is an increasingly important building block for much of the technology we use every day. |
|||
Wikidata has just turned nine years old and is thriving more than ever. We now need nine digits for our identifiers (<u>[[wmfblog:2020/10/06/wikidata-reaches-q100000000/https://linkedopendata.eu/wiki/Item:Q2645118|welcome Q100000001]]</u>), and this summer we crossed the 1.5-billion edit mark. A full 72% of Wikipedia articles use Wikidata for infobox content, auto-categorization, flagging maintenance work and other support functionality, not to mention site links, which are used in 97% of all Wikipedia articles. The Wikidata Query Service sees 11 million queries per day. Wikidata has also successfully expanded into the area of lexicographical data, forming the basis for new initiatives such as Abstract Wikipedia. |
|||
=== Examples of current Wikidata use === |
|||
Wikidata offers basic building blocks that can be used in various ways. Here are some examples of how Wikidata’s various types of content are currently used: |
|||
<ul> |
|||
<li>'''Accessing basic information:''' These projects use Wikidata to retrieve basic data on specific entities. |
|||
<ul> |
|||

<li>'''Augmenting other data:''' These projects use Wikidata to retrieve data that enriches data they already have. |
|||
<ul> |
|||
<li>[https://musicbrainz.org/area/08310658-51eb-3801-80de-5a0739207115 <u>Musicbrainz</u>]: This music encyclopedia augments their music data with Wikidata’s data on concepts (e.g., countries) that are related to but not an essential part of their knowledge area.</li> |
|||
<li>[https://kanopi.io <u>Kanopi</u>]: This semantic note-taking application allows users to link to Wikidata Items and easily augment their notes with data from Wikidata.</li> |
|||
<li>[https://twitter.com/openlibrary/status/1274104107851083776 <u>OpenLibrary</u>]: This book-tracking website uses Wikidata to retrieve data on the gender, origin and other attributes of the authors in their catalog, allowing them to provide their readers with statistics on biases in their reading behavior.</li></ul> |
|||
</li> |
|||
<li>'''Machine learning:''' These projects use Wikidata as a source of training data for machine-learning systems. |
|||
<ul> |
|||
<li>[http://ceur-ws.org/Vol-2535/paper_7.pdf <u>Exploration of historical theatre photographs</u>]: Researchers used Wikidata’s data in support of a machine-learning system that performs image recognition on a collection of old theatre photographs. Wikidata’s data facilitated plausibility checks. If the image detection algorithm recognized, for example, a laptop in a historic photo, it would be marked as highly unlikely, based on when laptops were invented.</li> |
|||
<li><u>[https://openai.com/blog/discovering-types-for-entity-disambiguation/https://linkedopendata.eu/wiki/Item:Q2645118 OpenAI]</u>: One of OpenAI’s machine-learning systems uses data from Wikidata to perform entity disambiguation: helping a computer differentiate between two entities with the same name mentioned in a text -- for example, distinguishing between Jaguar (the make of automobile) and a jaguar (the animal).</li> |
|||
<li>[https://demo.txtwerk.de/txt-demo/ <u>TXT Werk</u>]: This company is using Wikidata’s data and entities as a basis for their named-entity recognition tool, which allows users to extract entities from a given text and identify them by their Q-ID.</li></ul> |
|||
</li> |
|||
<li>'''Data cleaning and reconciliation:''' Wikidata’s statements and ontology are used to connect and clean up a data set. |
|||
<ul> |
|||
<li>[https://quoraontology.quora.com/Wikidata-and-Quora-Topics <u>Quora</u>]: Their question-answering side uses connections to Wikidata to compare their ontology to Wikidata’s and then correct mistakes in both ontologies.</li></ul> |
|||
</li> |
|||
<li>'''Data exploration and visualization:''' Wikidata’s data is used to give new insights and overviews in areas such as journalism, education and research. |
|||
<ul> |

|||
<li>[https://openartbrowser.org/ <u>Open Art Browser</u>]: This art website lets users explore visual art across time, movements, locations, motifs and more.</li></ul> |
|||
</li> |
|||
<li>'''Gateway to LOD web:''' Wikidata’s links to other websites, catalogs, archives and more are used to access additional information. |
|||
<ul> |
|||
<li>[https://thesciencemuseum.github.io/heritageconnector/post/2020/09/23/sidestepping-the-limitations-of-collections-catalogues-with-machine-learning-and-wikidata/ <u>The Science Museum</u>]: This museum uses Wikidata as a “Rosetta Stone” to provide links to other datasets, to ingest content from those datasets, and to provide richer interfaces to their collection.</li></ul> |
|||
</li> |
|||
<li>'''Source of notable entities for disambiguation, cataloging, tagging and more:''' Wikidata’s stable identifiers are used to clearly identify concepts in a language-independent manner. |
|||
<ul> |
|||
<li>[https://medium.com/occrp-unreported/an-%D0%B0%D0%BB%D0%B5%D0%BA%D1%81%D0%B0%D0%BD%D0%B4%D1%80-by-any-other-name-819525c82d8 <u>OCCRP</u>]: The Organized Crime and Corruption Reporting Project uses Wikidata’s Items and their labels in various languages to support their data analysis during reporting, specifically to gain a better understanding of the many different names under which a person or organization might be operating (and hiding behind).</li> |
|||
<li>[https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Hauptseite <u>Wikimedia Commons</u>]: Wikimedia’s media site uses Wikidata’s IDs and concepts for sophisticated image tagging to enable better exploration of its media archive.</li> |

|||
===<div style="color:#97b314">Empower the community to increase data quality</div>=== |
|||
We must ensure that our socio-technical system helps editors increase the quality of Wikidata’s existing data and contribute new high-quality data. |
|||
==== Why focus here? ==== |
|||
We want and need Wikidata’s data to be accurate and verifiable, especially as more and more technology in everyday use relies on our data in providing applications and services. This state of affairs places increased pressure on Wikidata to provide high-quality data and increases the incentives to manipulate our data. Meanwhile, the growth of Wikidata’s content is outpacing the community’s own growth and its ability to maintain that content. |
|||
==== How might we address this? ==== |
|||
We can establish feedback loops with data re-users, perform automated verification of data and issue detection, and develop tools and artefacts that make project policies and guidelines easier to implement (e.g., more powerful Entity Schemas). |

===<div style="background:#97b314; color:white; padding-left:20px">Purpose</div>=== |
|||
Wikidata makes it easier than ever to build apps and services around Linked Open Data. It achieves this by empowering communities from all over the world to collaboratively collect and organize important data about the world. |
|||
===<div style="background:#97b314; color:white; padding-left:20px">Guiding principles</div>=== |
|||
<ul> |
|||
<li>'''Openness:''' Wikidata’s content is free and open for anyone to use; participation is open for everyone. Our products should lead to more free and open data, and everyone should be able to join our movement. We want to reduce barriers for new participants.</li> |
|||
<li>'''Sustainability:''' Wikidata is here to stay. It is important to us that the users of our data can have confidence in us, which is why we aim for sustainability over speedy growth and quick wins.</li> |
|||
<li>'''Co-creation''': Wikidata stands or falls based on the health of its amazing community. We prioritize providing the community with the tools and knowledge they need to find solutions that fit their needs, which will ensure that our community -- including future contributors and volunteers -- continues to have the power to care for Wikidata. Wikidata and its community are not alone. We are well connected to the other Wikimedia projects, and a growing ecosystem of tools and applications exists around Wikidata, the Wikibase Ecosystem, and the larger Linked Open Data web. Our positive impact in the world is strongest when we work together.</li> |
|||
<li>'''Utility:''' In order to have an impact on the world, Wikidata’s content must be used outside of Wikidata. Making sure Wikidata’s data is widely used means we must ensure it remains useful for re-users. This includes maintaining high-quality data as well as easy access to that data.</li> |
|||
<li>'''Knowledge equity:''' The world is beautiful and complex; Wikidata should reflect that. We want to make sure that Wikidata and its decision-making processes support equity.</li></ul> |
|||
===<div style="background:#97b314; color:white; padding-left:20px">Background info</div>=== |
|||
<u>[[wikidata:Wikidata:Introduction#https://linkedopendata.eu/wiki/Item:Q2645118|Wikidata is a free, collaborative, multilingual knowledge base with a focus on verifiability]]</u>. It collects structured data to provide support for Wikipedia, the other wikis in the Wikimedia movement, and anyone in the world with a need for general-purpose structured data. Wikidata is based on the Wikibase software and provides data, an ontology and links to other databases. |
|||
Wikidata’s data constitutes the basis for a wide variety of applications and services both inside and outside the Wikimedia movement. It is an increasingly important building block for much of the technology we use every day. |
|||
Wikidata has just turned nine years old and is thriving more than ever. We now need nine digits for our identifiers (<u>[[wmfblog:2020/10/06/wikidata-reaches-q100000000/https://linkedopendata.eu/wiki/Item:Q2645118|welcome Q100000001]]</u>), and this summer we crossed the 1.5-billion edit mark. A full 72% of Wikipedia articles use Wikidata for infobox content, auto-categorization, flagging maintenance work and other support functionality, not to mention site links, which are used in 97% of all Wikipedia articles. The Wikidata Query Service sees 11 million queries per day. Wikidata has also successfully expanded into the area of lexicographical data, forming the basis for new initiatives such as Abstract Wikipedia. |
|||
=== Examples of current Wikidata use === |
|||
Wikidata offers basic building blocks that can be used in various ways. Here are some examples of how Wikidata’s various types of content are currently used: |
|||
<ul> |
|||
<li>'''Accessing basic information:''' These projects use Wikidata to retrieve basic data on specific entities. |
|||
<ul> |
|||
<li>[http://auregann.fr/derdiedas/ <u>DerDieDas</u>]: This game uses data from Wikidata’s Lexemes to instruct users in the correct articles for German nouns.</li> |
|||
<li>[https://store.kde.org/p/1389861 <u>MyCroft AI</u>]: This digital personal assistant accesses data from Wikidata to answer general-knowledge questions.</li> |
|||
<li>[https://search.brave.com/search?q=Berlin <u>Brave search</u>]: This search engine uses data from Wikidata to show information boxes in their search results.</li></ul> |
|||
</li> |
|||
<li>'''Augmenting other data:''' These projects use Wikidata to retrieve data that enriches data they already have. |
|||
<ul> |
|||
<li>[https://musicbrainz.org/area/08310658-51eb-3801-80de-5a0739207115 <u>Musicbrainz</u>]: This music encyclopedia augments their music data with Wikidata’s data on concepts (e.g., countries) that are related to but not an essential part of their knowledge area.</li> |
|||
<li>[https://kanopi.io <u>Kanopi</u>]: This semantic note-taking application allows users to link to Wikidata Items and easily augment their notes with data from Wikidata.</li> |
|||
<li>[https://twitter.com/openlibrary/status/1274104107851083776 <u>OpenLibrary</u>]: This book-tracking website uses Wikidata to retrieve data on the gender, origin and other attributes of the authors in their catalog, allowing them to provide their readers with statistics on biases in their reading behavior.</li></ul> |
|||
</li> |
|||
<li>'''Machine learning:''' These projects use Wikidata as a source of training data for machine-learning systems. |
|||
<ul> |
|||
<li>[http://ceur-ws.org/Vol-2535/paper_7.pdf <u>Exploration of historical theatre photographs</u>]: Researchers used Wikidata’s data in support of a machine-learning system that performs image recognition on a collection of old theatre photographs. Wikidata’s data facilitated plausibility checks. If the image detection algorithm recognized, for example, a laptop in a historic photo, it would be marked as highly unlikely, based on when laptops were invented.</li> |
|||
<li><u>[https://openai.com/blog/discovering-types-for-entity-disambiguation/https://linkedopendata.eu/wiki/Item:Q2645118 OpenAI]</u>: One of OpenAI’s machine-learning systems uses data from Wikidata to perform entity disambiguation: helping a computer differentiate between two entities with the same name mentioned in a text -- for example, distinguishing between Jaguar (the make of automobile) and a jaguar (the animal).</li> |
|||
<li>[https://demo.txtwerk.de/txt-demo/ <u>TXT Werk</u>]: This company is using Wikidata’s data and entities as a basis for their named-entity recognition tool, which allows users to extract entities from a given text and identify them by their Q-ID.</li></ul> |
|||
</li> |
|||
<li>'''Data cleaning and reconciliation:''' Wikidata’s statements and ontology are used to connect and clean up a data set. |
|||
<ul> |
|||
<li>[https://quoraontology.quora.com/Wikidata-and-Quora-Topics <u>Quora</u>]: Their question-answering side uses connections to Wikidata to compare their ontology to Wikidata’s and then correct mistakes in both ontologies.</li></ul> |
|||
</li> |
|||
<li>'''Data exploration and visualization:''' Wikidata’s data is used to give new insights and overviews in areas such as journalism, education and research. |
|||
<ul> |
|||
<li>[https://polmeth2020.org/measuring-political-elite-networks-wikidata <u>Measuring Political Elite Networks</u>]: This researcher uses the entities for elite organizations and persons and the connections between them to better understand how political power networks across the world work.</li> |
|||
<li>[https://equalstreetnames.brussels <u>EqualStreetNames.Brussels</u>]: This website uses Wikidata’s gender data to explore biases in who streets are named after in Brussels. Similar websites exist for a few other cities.</li> |
|||
<li>[https://openartbrowser.org/ <u>Open Art Browser</u>]: This art website lets users explore visual art across time, movements, locations, motifs and more.</li></ul> |
|||
</li> |
|||
<li>'''Gateway to LOD web:''' Wikidata’s links to other websites, catalogs, archives and more are used to access additional information. |
|||
<ul> |
|||
<li>[https://thesciencemuseum.github.io/heritageconnector/post/2020/09/23/sidestepping-the-limitations-of-collections-catalogues-with-machine-learning-and-wikidata/ <u>The Science Museum</u>]: This museum uses Wikidata as a “Rosetta Stone” to provide links to other datasets, to ingest content from those datasets, and to provide richer interfaces to their collection.</li></ul> |
|||
</li> |
|||
<li>'''Source of notable entities for disambiguation, cataloging, tagging and more:''' Wikidata’s stable identifiers are used to clearly identify concepts in a language-independent manner. |
|||
<ul> |
|||
<li>[https://medium.com/occrp-unreported/an-%D0%B0%D0%BB%D0%B5%D0%BA%D1%81%D0%B0%D0%BD%D0%B4%D1%80-by-any-other-name-819525c82d8 <u>OCCRP</u>]: The Organized Crime and Corruption Reporting Project uses Wikidata’s Items and their labels in various languages to support their data analysis during reporting, specifically to gain a better understanding of the many different names under which a person or organization might be operating (and hiding behind).</li> |
|||
<li>[https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Hauptseite <u>Wikimedia Commons</u>]: Wikimedia’s media site uses Wikidata’s IDs and concepts for sophisticated image tagging to enable better exploration of its media archive.</li> |

|||
===<div style="background:#97b314; color:white; padding-left:20px">Strategies</div>=== |
|||
===<div style="color:#97b314">Empower the community to increase data quality</div>=== |
|||
We must ensure that our socio-technical system helps editors increase the quality of Wikidata’s existing data and contribute new high-quality data. |
|||
==== Why focus here? ==== |
|||
We want and need Wikidata’s data to be accurate and verifiable, especially as more and more technology in everyday use relies on our data in providing applications and services. This state of affairs places increased pressure on Wikidata to provide high-quality data and increases the incentives to manipulate our data. Meanwhile, the growth of Wikidata’s content is outpacing the community’s own growth and its ability to maintain that content. |
|||
==== How might we address this? ==== |
|||
We can establish feedback loops with data re-users, perform automated verification of data and issue detection, and develop tools and artefacts that make project policies and guidelines easier to implement (e.g., more powerful Entity Schemas). |
|||
===<div style="color:#97b314">Facilitate equity in decision making</div>=== |
|||
We want to ensure that diverse perspectives come into play as fundamental decisions are made for and about Wikidata. By doing so we can better support knowledge often underrepresented in knowledge graphs. |
|||
==== Why focus here? ==== |
|||
We are committed to equity within Wikidata, and it plays an especially important role in our fundamental decision-making processes. |
|||
==== How might we address this? ==== |
|||
We can address this by amplifying voices that are raising awareness and by bringing perspectives to the discussion that have so far been missing from it. We can create spaces for discussion and help with facilitation. |
|||
===<div style="color:#97b314">Increase re-use for increased impact</div>=== |
|||
We want to make sure that anyone can use the data in Wikidata to make the world a better place. While everyone can re-use our data, we give priority to organizations and projects that align with our values and have a high impact. |
|||
==== Why focus here? ==== |
|||
We want more people to benefit from the data Wikidata provides. High-impact projects that are aligned with our vision and values, along with re-users giving back to Wikidata, provide a greater collective benefit simply by reaching more people. |
|||
==== How might we address this? ==== |
|||
We can leverage our new and improved APIs and our improved documentation and showcases and throw more support behind high-impact re-users: namely, educational re-users, those working towards knowledge equity and those that give back. |
|||
===<div style="color:#97b314">Strengthen underrepresented languages</div>=== |
|||
More people need access to knowledge and technology presented in their own language, and content in that language should be accessible to all. Language data is a fundamental building block in reaching that goal. |
|||
==== Why focus here? ==== |
|||
The underrepresentation of some languages in the realms of technology and of knowledge in general constitutes a significant barrier to granting as many people as possible access to the world’s knowledge in their own language. |
|||
==== How might we address this? ==== |
|||
A direct path to improving that situation would be to increase access to multilingual machine-readable data, which would then serve as a basis for apps and services. Improving the user interface for lexicographical data and making lexicographical data accessible in Wiktionary will go some way toward that goal. |
|||
===<div style="color:#97b314">Enable Wikimedia Projects to share their workload</div>=== |
|||
The Wikimedia Projects should be able to rely on Wikidata to share their workload across language and project family boundaries. |
|||
==== Why focus here? ==== |
|||
We want all Wikimedia Projects and language versions of these projects to flourish; that’s the best and most effective path to giving every single human being access to the sum of all knowledge. To this end, we must support smaller and medium-size projects in particular and free them to rely on Wikidata as a source of basic data that is collectively maintained. |
|||
Currently, Wikidata and the other Wikimedia Projects are not tightly integrated, nor is the integration yet elaborate enough to take full advantage of this workload sharing. Wikidata benefits immensely from the efforts, expertise and experience of contributors from other Wikimedia Projects -- not only in keeping its data well maintained, but also in learning from community processes and other experiences that can be applied to Wikidata. |
|||
==== How might we address this? ==== |
|||
We can build out interfaces that allow users to edit Wikidata from the other Wikimedia Projects, e.g., Wikidata Bridge, as well as improving tools to monitor and moderate content relevant to a given project and supporting projects like Abstract Wikipedia, which rely on Wikidata’s data to provide content to readers in an automated fashion. |
|||
===<div style="background:#97b314; color:white; padding-left:20px">Target groups</div>=== |
|||
===<div style="color:#97b314">Project shapers</div>=== |
|||
Project shapers have their effect on Wikidata by facilitating and taking part in fundamental processes and decision-making. They create the rules and structures that hold the project together and are typically at the core of the community, with deep, overall understanding and care for the project. |
|||
'''Concerns and needs''': Project shapers want to create processes and rules that others can and want to follow, so the project can scale and remain healthy. |
|||
'''Connection to strategy''': Project shapers are integral to '''empowering the community to increase data quality''', guiding the decision-making process required to come to agreements on data modeling and more. They play a crucial role in '''facilitating equity in decision-making''', ensuring that a diverse set of voices is heard and their perspectives considered. We can support project shapers by creating tools and artefacts that make project policies and guidelines more actionable, as well as by supporting the creation of inclusive and open processes and guidelines to increase knowledge equity. |
|||
===<div style="color:#97b314">Gardeners</div>=== |
|||
Gardeners bring Wikidata to life by enhancing Wikidata’s quality and enforcing the rules and agreed-upon structures. Typically, they have subject-matter expertise and care deeply about quality in their topic areas. |
|||
'''Concerns and needs''': Gardeners currently have more work to do than is humanly possible. They require tools, rules and processes that support their quality work and that ensure others can contribute positively. |
|||
'''Connection to strategy''': Gardeners are integral in empowering the community to increase data quality as those who tend the garden that is Wikidata. They also play an important role in '''increasing re-use for increased impact''', as consistently modeled data is vital for easier re-use. We can support gardeners by creating more powerful tools and artefacts that empower their work (user interfaces that encompass project guidelines, tools to incorporate feedback from re-users, automated verification, etc.) and by attracting more editors to the project in order to lessen the workload. |
|||
[[File:Items-editors.png|frame|centre|Growth graphs of Wikidata Items and editorship]] |
|||
===<div style="color:#97b314">Representatives of diverse knowledge</div>=== |
|||
Representatives of diverse knowledge share viewpoints that would otherwise be underrepresented in Wikidata’s data in the contexts of language and culture, among others, and they play an important part in bringing missing voices to the fundamental discussions shaping the project. |
|||
'''Concerns and needs''': Representatives of diverse knowledge want to see their otherwise underrepresented knowledge reflected in Wikidata and the wider open knowledge ecosystem; they want their voices to be heard in fundamental decisions that shape the project. |
|||
'''Connection to strategy''': Representatives of diverse knowledge are crucial in '''facilitating equity in decision making''' as those who bring important perspectives, which would otherwise be absent, to discussions and decision making processes. We can support representatives of diverse knowledge by growing expert communities in underrepresented areas, supporting project shapers and facilitators in making fundamental decisions and bringing in otherwise missing points of view. |
|||
===<div style="color:#97b314">Small and medium-size re-users</div>=== |
|||
Small and medium-size re-users are building products and services on top of Wikidata’s data. They often contribute back and use Wikidata to overcome the competitive disadvantage of not owning their own knowledge graph. |
|||
'''Concerns and needs''': Small and medium-size re-users are looking for data that is easy to access and use without the burden of collecting and maintaining it on their own. |
|||
'''Connection to strategy''': Small and medium-size re-users are vital for '''increasing re-use for increased impact''' as those who can build new, useful applications and services on top of Wikidata’s data, thereby increasing the impact of our data in the world. These re-users tend to be more closely aligned with Wikimedia’s mission and values and include many free and open knowledge projects. We can support small and medium-sized re-users by making it easier to use Wikidata’s data and to give back to the commons. |
|||
===<div style="color:#97b314">Large re-users</div>=== |
|||
Large re-users are global organizations that are integrating Wikidata’s data into the internal knowledge graphs driving their products and services. Typically, they are able to help us improve Wikidata’s data through their processes for user feedback and internal quality assurance. |
|||
'''Concerns and needs''': Large re-users want easy access to high-quality data and are seeking ways to contribute in a meaningful way. |
|||
'''Connection to strategy''': Large re-users are important for '''increasing re-use for increased impact''' and for '''empowering the community to increase data quality''': they reach billions of people with their applications and services, and they have the resources to support us in securing and increasing data quality. We can support large re-users by making it easier for them to give back -- for example, by showing them how they can participate in the necessary work of maintaining Wikidata and by providing defined tools and processes to report issues they discover as they perform internal quality assurance. |

<u>[[wikidata:Wikidata:Introduction#https://linkedopendata.eu/wiki/Item:Q2645118|Wikidata is a free, collaborative, multilingual knowledge base with a focus on verifiability]]</u>. It collects structured data to provide support for Wikipedia, the other wikis in the Wikimedia movement, and anyone in the world with a need for general-purpose structured data. Wikidata is based on the Wikibase software and provides data, an ontology and links to other databases. |
|||
Wikidata’s data constitutes the basis for a wide variety of applications and services both inside and outside the Wikimedia movement. It is an increasingly important building block for much of the technology we use every day. |
|||
Wikidata has just turned nine years old and is thriving more than ever. We now need nine digits for our identifiers (<u>[[wmfblog:2020/10/06/wikidata-reaches-q100000000/https://linkedopendata.eu/wiki/Item:Q2645118|welcome Q100000001]]</u>), and this summer we crossed the 1.5-billion edit mark. A full 72% of Wikipedia articles use Wikidata for infobox content, auto-categorization, flagging maintenance work and other support functionality, not to mention site links, which are used in 97% of all Wikipedia articles. The Wikidata Query Service sees 11 million queries per day. Wikidata has also successfully expanded into the area of lexicographical data, forming the basis for new initiatives such as Abstract Wikipedia. |
|||
=== Examples of current Wikidata use === |
|||
Wikidata offers basic building blocks that can be used in various ways. Here are some examples of how Wikidata’s various types of content are currently used: |
|||
<ul> |

|||
</li> |
|||
<li>'''Gateway to LOD web:''' Wikidata’s links to other websites, catalogs, archives and more are used to access additional information. |
|||
<ul> |
|||

===<div style="background:#97b314; color:white; padding-left:20px">Strategies</div>=== |
|||
===<div style="color:#97b314">Empower the community to increase data quality</div>=== |
|||
We must ensure that our socio-technical system helps editors increase the quality of Wikidata’s existing data and contribute new high-quality data. |
|||
==== Why focus here? ==== |
|||
We want and need Wikidata’s data to be accurate and verifiable, especially as more and more technology in everyday use relies on our data in providing applications and services. This state of affairs places increased pressure on Wikidata to provide high-quality data and increases the incentives to manipulate our data. Meanwhile, the growth of Wikidata’s content is outpacing the community’s own growth and its ability to maintain that content. |
|||
==== How might we address this? ==== |
|||
We can establish feedback loops with data re-users, perform automated verification of data and issue detection, and develop tools and artefacts that make project policies and guidelines easier to implement (e.g., more powerful Entity Schemas). |
|||
===<div style="color:#97b314">Facilitate equity in decision making</div>=== |
|||
We want to ensure that diverse perspectives come into play as fundamental decisions are made for and about Wikidata. By doing so we can better support knowledge often underrepresented in knowledge graphs. |
|||
==== Why focus here? ==== |
|||
We are committed to equity within Wikidata, and it plays an especially important role in our fundamental decision-making processes. |
|||
==== How might we address this? ==== |
|||
We can address this by amplifying voices that are raising awareness and by bringing perspectives to the discussion that have so far been missing from it. We can create spaces for discussion and help with facilitation. |
|||
===<div style="color:#97b314">Increase re-use for increased impact</div>=== |
|||
We want to make sure that anyone can use the data in Wikidata to make the world a better place. While everyone can re-use our data, we give priority to organizations and projects that align with our values and have a high impact. |
|||
==== Why focus here? ==== |
|||
We want more people to benefit from the data Wikidata provides. High-impact projects that are aligned with our vision and values, along with re-users giving back to Wikidata, provide a greater collective benefit simply by reaching more people. |
|||
==== How might we address this? ==== |
|||
We can leverage our new and improved APIs and our improved documentation and showcases and throw more support behind high-impact re-users: namely, educational re-users, those working towards knowledge equity and those that give back. |
|||
===<div style="color:#97b314">Strengthen underrepresented languages</div>=== |
|||
More people need access to knowledge and technology presented in their own language, and content in that language should be accessible to all. Language data is a fundamental building block in reaching that goal. |
|||
==== Why focus here? ==== |
|||
The underrepresentation of some languages in the realms of technology and of knowledge in general constitutes a significant barrier to granting as many people as possible access to the world’s knowledge in their own language. |
|||
==== How might we address this? ==== |
|||
A direct path to improving that situation would be to increase access to multilingual machine-readable data, which would then serve as a basis for apps and services. Improving the user interface for lexicographical data and making lexicographical data accessible in Wiktionary will go some way toward that goal. |
|||
===<div style="color:#97b314">Enable Wikimedia Projects to share their workload</div>=== |
|||
The Wikimedia Projects should be able to rely on Wikidata to share their workload across language and project family boundaries. |
|||
==== Why focus here? ==== |
|||
We want all Wikimedia Projects and language versions of these projects to flourish; that’s the best and most effective path to giving every single human being access to the sum of all knowledge. To this end, we must support smaller and medium-size projects in particular and free them to rely on Wikidata as a source of basic data that is collectively maintained. |
|||
Currently, Wikidata and the other Wikimedia Projects are not tightly integrated, nor is the integration yet elaborate enough to take full advantage of this workload sharing. Wikidata benefits immensely from the efforts, expertise and experience of contributors from other Wikimedia Projects -- not only in keeping its data well maintained, but also in learning from community processes and other experiences that can be applied to Wikidata. |
|||
==== How might we address this? ==== |
|||
We can build out interfaces that allow users to edit Wikidata from the other Wikimedia Projects, e.g., Wikidata Bridge, as well as improving tools to monitor and moderate content relevant to a given project and supporting projects like Abstract Wikipedia, which rely on Wikidata’s data to provide content to readers in an automated fashion. |
|||
===<div style="background:#97b314; color:white; padding-left:20px">Target groups</div>=== |
|||
===<div style="color:#97b314">Project shapers</div>=== |
|||
Project shapers have their effect on Wikidata by facilitating and taking part in fundamental processes and decision-making. They create the rules and structures that hold the project together and are typically at the core of the community, with deep, overall understanding and care for the project. |
|||
'''Concerns and needs''': Project shapers want to create processes and rules that others can and want to follow, so the project can scale and remain healthy. |
|||
'''Connection to strategy''': Project shapers are integral to '''empowering the community to increase data quality''', guiding the decision-making process required to come to agreements on data modeling and more. They play a crucial role in '''facilitating equity in decision-making''', ensuring that a diverse set of voices is heard and their perspectives considered. We can support project shapers by creating tools and artefacts that make project policies and guidelines more actionable, as well as by supporting the creation of inclusive and open processes and guidelines to increase knowledge equity. |
|||
===<div style="color:#97b314">Gardeners</div>=== |
|||
Gardeners bring Wikidata to life by enhancing Wikidata’s quality and enforcing the rules and agreed-upon structures. Typically, they have subject-matter expertise and care deeply about quality in their topic areas. |
|||
'''Concerns and needs''': Gardeners currently have more work to do than is humanly possible. They require tools, rules and processes that support their quality work and that ensure others can contribute positively. |
|||
'''Connection to strategy''': Gardeners are integral in empowering the community to increase data quality as those who tend the garden that is Wikidata. They also play an important role in '''increasing re-use for increased impact''', as consistently modeled data is vital for easier re-use. We can support gardeners by creating more powerful tools and artefacts that empower their work (user interfaces that encompass project guidelines, tools to incorporate feedback from re-users, automated verification, etc.) and by attracting more editors to the project in order to lessen the workload. |
|||
[[File:Items-editors.png|frame|centre|Growth graphs of Wikidata Items and editorship]] |
|||
===<div style="color:#97b314">Representatives of diverse knowledge</div>=== |
|||
Representatives of diverse knowledge share viewpoints that would otherwise be underrepresented in Wikidata’s data in the contexts of language and culture, among others, and they play an important part in bringing missing voices to the fundamental discussions shaping the project. |
|||
'''Concerns and needs''': Representatives of diverse knowledge want to see their otherwise underrepresented knowledge reflected in Wikidata and the wider open knowledge ecosystem; they want their voices to be heard in fundamental decisions that shape the project. |
|||
'''Connection to strategy''': Representatives of diverse knowledge are crucial in '''facilitating equity in decision making''' as those who bring important perspectives, which would otherwise be absent, to discussions and decision making processes. We can support representatives of diverse knowledge by growing expert communities in underrepresented areas, supporting project shapers and facilitators in making fundamental decisions and bringing in otherwise missing points of view. |
|||
===<div style="color:#97b314">Small and medium-size re-users</div>=== |
|||
Small and medium-size re-users are building products and services on top of Wikidata’s data. They often contribute back and use Wikidata to overcome the competitive disadvantage of not owning their own knowledge graph. |
|||
'''Concerns and needs''': Small and medium-size re-users are looking for data that is easy to access and use without the burden of collecting and maintaining it on their own. |
|||
'''Connection to strategy''': Small and medium-size re-users are vital for '''increasing re-use for increased impact''' as those who can build new, useful applications and services on top of Wikidata’s data, thereby increasing the impact of our data in the world. These re-users tend to be more closely aligned with Wikimedia’s mission and values and include many free and open knowledge projects. We can support small and medium-sized re-users by making it easier to use Wikidata’s data and to give back to the commons. |
|||
===<div style="color:#97b314">Large re-users</div>=== |
|||
Large re-users are global organizations that are integrating Wikidata’s data into the internal knowledge graphs driving their products and services. Typically, they are able to help us improve Wikidata’s data through their processes for user feedback and internal quality assurance. |
|||
'''Concerns and needs''': Large re-users want easy access to high-quality data and are seeking ways to contribute in a meaningful way. |
|||
'''Connection to strategy''': Large re-users are important for '''increasing re-use for increased impact''' and for '''empowering the community to increase data quality''': they reach billions of people with their applications and services, and they have the resources to support us in securing and increasing data quality. We can support large re-users by making it easier for them to give back -- for example, by showing them how they can participate in the necessary work of maintaining Wikidata and by providing defined tools and processes to report issues they discover as they perform internal quality assurance. |

We now need nine digits for our identifiers (<u>[[wmfblog:2020/10/06/wikidata-reaches-q100000000/https://linkedopendata.eu/wiki/Item:Q2645118|welcome Q100000001]]</u>), and this summer we crossed the 1.5-billion edit mark. A full 72% of Wikipedia articles use Wikidata for infobox content, auto-categorization, flagging maintenance work and other support functionality, not to mention site links, which are used in 97% of all Wikipedia articles. The Wikidata Query Service sees 11 million queries per day. Wikidata has also successfully expanded into the area of lexicographical data, forming the basis for new initiatives such as Abstract Wikipedia. |

===<div style="background:#97b314; color:white; padding-left:20px">Strategies</div>=== |
|||
===<div style="color:#97b314">Empower the community to increase data quality</div>=== |
|||
We must ensure that our socio-technical system helps editors increase the quality of Wikidata’s existing data and contribute new high-quality data. |
|||
==== Why focus here? ==== |
|||
We want and need Wikidata’s data to be accurate and verifiable, especially as more and more technology in everyday use relies on our data in providing applications and services. This state of affairs places increased pressure on Wikidata to provide high-quality data and increases the incentives to manipulate our data. Meanwhile, the growth of Wikidata’s content is outpacing the community’s own growth and its ability to maintain that content. |
|||
==== How might we address this? ==== |
|||
We can establish feedback loops with data re-users, perform automated verification of data and issue detection, and develop tools and artefacts that make project policies and guidelines easier to implement (e.g., more powerful Entity Schemas). |
|||
===<div style="color:#97b314">Facilitate equity in decision making</div>=== |
|||
We want to ensure that diverse perspectives come into play as fundamental decisions are made for and about Wikidata. By doing so we can better support knowledge often underrepresented in knowledge graphs. |
|||
==== Why focus here? ==== |
|||
We are committed to equity within Wikidata, and it plays an especially important role in our fundamental decision-making processes. |
|||
==== How might we address this? ==== |
|||
We can address this by amplifying voices that are raising awareness and by bringing perspectives to the discussion that have so far been missing from it. We can create spaces for discussion and help with facilitation. |
|||
===<div style="color:#97b314">Increase re-use for increased impact</div>=== |
|||
We want to make sure that anyone can use the data in Wikidata to make the world a better place. While everyone can re-use our data, we give priority to organizations and projects that align with our values and have a high impact. |
|||
==== Why focus here? ==== |
|||
We want more people to benefit from the data Wikidata provides. High-impact projects that are aligned with our vision and values, along with re-users giving back to Wikidata, provide a greater collective benefit simply by reaching more people. |
|||
==== How might we address this? ==== |
|||
We can leverage our new and improved APIs and our improved documentation and showcases and throw more support behind high-impact re-users: namely, educational re-users, those working towards knowledge equity and those that give back. |
|||
===<div style="color:#97b314">Strengthen underrepresented languages</div>=== |
|||
More people need access to knowledge and technology presented in their own language, and content in that language should be accessible to all. Language data is a fundamental building block in reaching that goal. |
|||
==== Why focus here? ==== |
|||
The underrepresentation of some languages in the realms of technology and of knowledge in general constitutes a significant barrier to granting as many people as possible access to the world’s knowledge in their own language. |
|||
==== How might we address this? ==== |
|||
A direct path to improving that situation would be to increase access to multilingual machine-readable data, which would then serve as a basis for apps and services. Improving the user interface for lexicographical data and making lexicographical data accessible in Wiktionary will go some way toward that goal. |
|||
===<div style="color:#97b314">Enable Wikimedia Projects to share their workload</div>=== |
|||
The Wikimedia Projects should be able to rely on Wikidata to share their workload across language and project family boundaries. |
|||
==== Why focus here? ==== |
|||
We want all Wikimedia Projects and language versions of these projects to flourish; that’s the best and most effective path to giving every single human being access to the sum of all knowledge. To this end, we must support smaller and medium-size projects in particular and free them to rely on Wikidata as a source of basic data that is collectively maintained. |
|||
Currently, Wikidata and the other Wikimedia Projects are not tightly integrated, nor is the integration yet elaborate enough to take full advantage of this workload sharing. Wikidata benefits immensely from the efforts, expertise and experience of contributors from other Wikimedia Projects -- not only in keeping its data well maintained, but also in learning from community processes and other experiences that can be applied to Wikidata. |
|||
==== How might we address this? ==== |
|||
We can build out interfaces that allow users to edit Wikidata from the other Wikimedia Projects, e.g., Wikidata Bridge, as well as improving tools to monitor and moderate content relevant to a given project and supporting projects like Abstract Wikipedia, which rely on Wikidata’s data to provide content to readers in an automated fashion. |
|||
===<div style="background:#97b314; color:white; padding-left:20px">Target groups</div>=== |
|||
===<div style="color:#97b314">Project shapers</div>=== |
|||
Project shapers have their effect on Wikidata by facilitating and taking part in fundamental processes and decision-making. They create the rules and structures that hold the project together and are typically at the core of the community, with deep, overall understanding and care for the project. |
|||
'''Concerns and needs''': Project shapers want to create processes and rules that others can and want to follow, so the project can scale and remain healthy. |
|||
'''Connection to strategy''': Project shapers are integral to '''empowering the community to increase data quality''', guiding the decision-making process required to come to agreements on data modeling and more. They play a crucial role in '''facilitating equity in decision-making''', ensuring that a diverse set of voices is heard and their perspectives considered. We can support project shapers by creating tools and artefacts that make project policies and guidelines more actionable, as well as by supporting the creation of inclusive and open processes and guidelines to increase knowledge equity. |
|||
===<div style="color:#97b314">Gardeners</div>=== |
|||
Gardeners bring Wikidata to life by enhancing Wikidata’s quality and enforcing the rules and agreed-upon structures. Typically, they have subject-matter expertise and care deeply about quality in their topic areas. |
|||
'''Concerns and needs''': Gardeners currently have more work to do than is humanly possible. They require tools, rules and processes that support their quality work and that ensure others can contribute positively. |
|||
'''Connection to strategy''': Gardeners are integral in empowering the community to increase data quality as those who tend the garden that is Wikidata. They also play an important role in '''increasing re-use for increased impact''', as consistently modeled data is vital for easier re-use. We can support gardeners by creating more powerful tools and artefacts that empower their work (user interfaces that encompass project guidelines, tools to incorporate feedback from re-users, automated verification, etc.) and by attracting more editors to the project in order to lessen the workload. |
|||
[[File:Items-editors.png|frame|centre|Growth graphs of Wikidata Items and editorship]] |
|||
===<div style="color:#97b314">Representatives of diverse knowledge</div>=== |
|||
Representatives of diverse knowledge share viewpoints that would otherwise be underrepresented in Wikidata’s data in the contexts of language and culture, among others, and they play an important part in bringing missing voices to the fundamental discussions shaping the project. |
|||
'''Concerns and needs''': Representatives of diverse knowledge want to see their otherwise underrepresented knowledge reflected in Wikidata and the wider open knowledge ecosystem; they want their voices to be heard in fundamental decisions that shape the project. |
|||
'''Connection to strategy''': Representatives of diverse knowledge are crucial in '''facilitating equity in decision making''' as those who bring important perspectives, which would otherwise be absent, to discussions and decision making processes. We can support representatives of diverse knowledge by growing expert communities in underrepresented areas, supporting project shapers and facilitators in making fundamental decisions and bringing in otherwise missing points of view. |
|||
===<div style="color:#97b314">Small and medium-size re-users</div>=== |
|||
Small and medium-size re-users are building products and services on top of Wikidata’s data. They often contribute back and use Wikidata to overcome the competitive disadvantage of not owning their own knowledge graph. |
|||
'''Concerns and needs''': Small and medium-size re-users are looking for data that is easy to access and use without the burden of collecting and maintaining it on their own. |
|||
'''Connection to strategy''': Small and medium-size re-users are vital for '''increasing re-use for increased impact''' as those who can build new, useful applications and services on top of Wikidata’s data, thereby increasing the impact of our data in the world. These re-users tend to be more closely aligned with Wikimedia’s mission and values and include many free and open knowledge projects. We can support small and medium-sized re-users by making it easier to use Wikidata’s data and to give back to the commons. |
|||
===<div style="color:#97b314">Large re-users</div>=== |
|||
Large re-users are global organizations that are integrating Wikidata’s data into the internal knowledge graphs driving their products and services. Typically, they are able to help us improve Wikidata’s data through their processes for user feedback and internal quality assurance. |
|||
'''Concerns and needs''': Large re-users want easy access to high-quality data and are seeking ways to contribute in a meaningful way. |
|||
'''Connection to strategy''': Large re-users are important for '''increasing re-use for increased impact''' and for '''empowering the community to increase data quality''': they reach billions of people with their applications and services, and they have the resources to support us in securing and increasing data quality. We can support large re-users by making it easier for them to give back -- for example, by showing them how they can participate in the necessary work of maintaining Wikidata and by providing defined tools and processes to report issues they discover as they perform internal quality assurance. |

Honour
Purpose
Wikidata makes it easier than ever to build apps and services around Linked Open Data. It achieves this by empowering communities from all over the world to collaboratively collect and organize important data about the world.
Guiding principles
- Openness: Wikidata’s content is free and open for anyone to use; participation is open for everyone. Our products should lead to more free and open data, and everyone should be able to join our movement. We want to reduce barriers for new participants.
- Sustainability: Wikidata is here to stay. It is important to us that the users of our data can have confidence in us, which is why we aim for sustainability over speedy growth and quick wins.
- Co-creation: Wikidata stands or falls based on the health of its amazing community. We prioritize providing the community with the tools and knowledge they need to find solutions that fit their needs, which will ensure that our community -- including future contributors and volunteers -- continues to have the power to care for Wikidata. Wikidata and its community are not alone. We are well connected to the other Wikimedia projects, and a growing ecosystem of tools and applications exists around Wikidata, the Wikibase Ecosystem, and the larger Linked Open Data web. Our positive impact in the world is strongest when we work together.
- Utility: In order to have an impact on the world, Wikidata’s content must be used outside of Wikidata. Making sure Wikidata’s data is widely used means we must ensure it remains useful for re-users. This includes maintaining high-quality data as well as easy access to that data.
- Knowledge equity: The world is beautiful and complex; Wikidata should reflect that. We want to make sure that Wikidata and its decision-making processes support equity.
Background info
Wikidata is a free, collaborative, multilingual knowledge base with a focus on verifiability. It collects structured data to provide support for Wikipedia, the other wikis in the Wikimedia movement, and anyone in the world with a need for general-purpose structured data. Wikidata is based on the Wikibase software and provides data, an ontology and links to other databases.
Wikidata’s data constitutes the basis for a wide variety of applications and services both inside and outside the Wikimedia movement. It is an increasingly important building block for much of the technology we use every day.
Wikidata has just turned nine years old and is thriving more than ever. We now need nine digits for our identifiers (welcome Q100000001), and this summer we crossed the 1.5-billion edit mark. A full 72% of Wikipedia articles use Wikidata for infobox content, auto-categorization, flagging maintenance work and other support functionality, not to mention site links, which are used in 97% of all Wikipedia articles. The Wikidata Query Service sees 11 million queries per day. Wikidata has also successfully expanded into the area of lexicographical data, forming the basis for new initiatives such as Abstract Wikipedia.

Strategies
Empower the community to increase data quality
We must ensure that our socio-technical system helps editors increase the quality of Wikidata’s existing data and contribute new high-quality data.
Why focus here?
We want and need Wikidata’s data to be accurate and verifiable, especially as more and more technology in everyday use relies on our data in providing applications and services. This state of affairs places increased pressure on Wikidata to provide high-quality data and increases the incentives to manipulate our data. Meanwhile, the growth of Wikidata’s content is outpacing the community’s own growth and its ability to maintain that content.
How might we address this?
We can establish feedback loops with data re-users, perform automated verification of data and issue detection, and develop tools and artefacts that make project policies and guidelines easier to implement (e.g., more powerful Entity Schemas).
Facilitate equity in decision making
We want to ensure that diverse perspectives come into play as fundamental decisions are made for and about Wikidata. By doing so we can better support knowledge often underrepresented in knowledge graphs.
Why focus here?
We are committed to equity within Wikidata, and it plays an especially important role in our fundamental decision-making processes.
How might we address this?
We can address this by amplifying voices that are raising awareness and by bringing perspectives to the discussion that have so far been missing from it. We can create spaces for discussion and help with facilitation.
Increase re-use for increased impact
We want to make sure that anyone can use the data in Wikidata to make the world a better place. While everyone can re-use our data, we give priority to organizations and projects that align with our values and have a high impact.
Why focus here?
We want more people to benefit from the data Wikidata provides. High-impact projects that are aligned with our vision and values, along with re-users giving back to Wikidata, provide a greater collective benefit simply by reaching more people.
How might we address this?
We can leverage our new and improved APIs and our improved documentation and showcases and throw more support behind high-impact re-users: namely, educational re-users, those working towards knowledge equity and those that give back.
Strengthen underrepresented languages
More people need access to knowledge and technology presented in their own language, and content in that language should be accessible to all. Language data is a fundamental building block in reaching that goal.
Why focus here?
The underrepresentation of some languages in the realms of technology and of knowledge in general constitutes a significant barrier to granting as many people as possible access to the world’s knowledge in their own language.
How might we address this?
A direct path to improving that situation would be to increase access to multilingual machine-readable data, which would then serve as a basis for apps and services. Improving the user interface for lexicographical data and making lexicographical data accessible in Wiktionary will go some way toward that goal.
Enable Wikimedia Projects to share their workload
The Wikimedia Projects should be able to rely on Wikidata to share their workload across language and project family boundaries.
Why focus here?
We want all Wikimedia Projects and language versions of these projects to flourish; that’s the best and most effective path to giving every single human being access to the sum of all knowledge. To this end, we must support smaller and medium-size projects in particular and free them to rely on Wikidata as a source of basic data that is collectively maintained.
Currently, Wikidata and the other Wikimedia Projects are not tightly integrated, nor is the integration yet elaborate enough to take full advantage of this workload sharing. Wikidata benefits immensely from the efforts, expertise and experience of contributors from other Wikimedia Projects -- not only in keeping its data well maintained, but also in learning from community processes and other experiences that can be applied to Wikidata.
How might we address this?
We can build out interfaces that allow users to edit Wikidata from the other Wikimedia Projects, e.g., Wikidata Bridge, as well as improving tools to monitor and moderate content relevant to a given project and supporting projects like Abstract Wikipedia, which rely on Wikidata’s data to provide content to readers in an automated fashion.
Target groups
Project shapers
Project shapers have their effect on Wikidata by facilitating and taking part in fundamental processes and decision-making. They create the rules and structures that hold the project together and are typically at the core of the community, with deep, overall understanding and care for the project.
Concerns and needs: Project shapers want to create processes and rules that others can and want to follow, so the project can scale and remain healthy.
Connection to strategy: Project shapers are integral to empowering the community to increase data quality, guiding the decision-making process required to come to agreements on data modeling and more. They play a crucial role in facilitating equity in decision-making, ensuring that a diverse set of voices is heard and their perspectives considered. We can support project shapers by creating tools and artefacts that make project policies and guidelines more actionable, as well as by supporting the creation of inclusive and open processes and guidelines to increase knowledge equity.
Gardeners
Gardeners bring Wikidata to life by enhancing Wikidata’s quality and enforcing the rules and agreed-upon structures. Typically, they have subject-matter expertise and care deeply about quality in their topic areas.
Concerns and needs: Gardeners currently have more work to do than is humanly possible. They require tools, rules and processes that support their quality work and that ensure others can contribute positively.
Connection to strategy: Gardeners are integral in empowering the community to increase data quality as those who tend the garden that is Wikidata. They also play an important role in increasing re-use for increased impact, as consistently modeled data is vital for easier re-use. We can support gardeners by creating more powerful tools and artefacts that empower their work (user interfaces that encompass project guidelines, tools to incorporate feedback from re-users, automated verification, etc.) and by attracting more editors to the project in order to lessen the workload.
Representatives of diverse knowledge
Representatives of diverse knowledge share viewpoints that would otherwise be underrepresented in Wikidata’s data in the contexts of language and culture, among others, and they play an important part in bringing missing voices to the fundamental discussions shaping the project.
Concerns and needs: Representatives of diverse knowledge want to see their otherwise underrepresented knowledge reflected in Wikidata and the wider open knowledge ecosystem; they want their voices to be heard in fundamental decisions that shape the project.
Connection to strategy: Representatives of diverse knowledge are crucial in facilitating equity in decision making as those who bring important perspectives, which would otherwise be absent, to discussions and decision making processes. We can support representatives of diverse knowledge by growing expert communities in underrepresented areas, supporting project shapers and facilitators in making fundamental decisions and bringing in otherwise missing points of view.
Small and medium-size re-users
Small and medium-size re-users are building products and services on top of Wikidata’s data. They often contribute back and use Wikidata to overcome the competitive disadvantage of not owning their own knowledge graph.
Concerns and needs: Small and medium-size re-users are looking for data that is easy to access and use without the burden of collecting and maintaining it on their own.
Connection to strategy: Small and medium-size re-users are vital for increasing re-use for increased impact as those who can build new, useful applications and services on top of Wikidata’s data, thereby increasing the impact of our data in the world. These re-users tend to be more closely aligned with Wikimedia’s mission and values and include many free and open knowledge projects. We can support small and medium-sized re-users by making it easier to use Wikidata’s data and to give back to the commons.
Large re-users
Large re-users are global organizations that are integrating Wikidata’s data into the internal knowledge graphs driving their products and services. Typically, they are able to help us improve Wikidata’s data through their processes for user feedback and internal quality assurance.
Concerns and needs: Large re-users want easy access to high-quality data and are seeking ways to contribute in a meaningful way.
Connection to strategy: Large re-users are important for increasing re-use for increased impact and for empowering the community to increase data quality: they reach billions of people with their applications and services, and they have the resources to support us in securing and increasing data quality. We can support large re-users by making it easier for them to give back -- for example, by showing them how they can participate in the necessary work of maintaining Wikidata and by providing defined tools and processes to report issues they discover as they perform internal quality assurance.

[https://www.instagram.com/- ! Name/ Courtesy titles in the United Kingdom] on Instagram A courtesy title is a form of address in systems of nobility used for children, former wives and other close relatives of a peer, as well as certain officials such as some judges and members of the Scottish gentry. These styles are used "by courtesy" in the sense that persons referred to by these titles do not themselves hold substantive titles. There are several different kinds of courtesy titles in the British peerage system.
Children of peers
Courtesy titles
If a peer of one of the top three ranks of the peerage (a duke, marquess or earl) has more than one title, his eldest son – himself not a peer – may use one of his father's lesser titles "by courtesy". However, the father continues to be the substantive holder of the peerage title, and the son is only using the title by courtesy, unless issued a writ of acceleration.[citation needed] The eldest son of the eldest son of a duke or marquess may use a still lower title, if one exists. In legal documents, the courtesy title is implied but not used directly, e.g. the name of the person is given then "commonly called [title]".
For example, the Duke of Norfolk is also the Earl of Arundel and Baron Maltravers. His eldest son is therefore styled "Earl of Arundel" (without the definite article "The" which indicates a substantive title). Lord Arundel's eldest son (should he have one during his father's lifetime) would be styled "Lord Maltravers". However, only the Duke of Norfolk is actually a peer; his son Lord Arundel and his hypothetical grandson Lord Maltravers are not.
Courtesy titles are only used by the peer's eldest living son, and the eldest son's eldest living son, and so forth. Other descendants are not permitted to use the peer's subsidiary titles. Only the heir apparent (and heir apparent to the heir apparent, and so on) may use them. An heir presumptive (e.g., a brother, nephew, or cousin) does not use a courtesy title. However, Scottish practice allows the style Master/Mistress of X to an heir presumptive as well as to an heir apparent; for example, the brother of the present Marquess of Tweeddale, Lord Alistair Hay, has the title Master of Tweeddale.
Holders of courtesy titles do not, at the Court of St James's, have their title preceded by the definite article "The": e.g., 'Earl of Arundel' rather than 'the Earl of Arundel'.
Wives are entitled to use the feminine form of their husbands' courtesy titles. Thus, the wife of an Earl of Arundel would be styled "Countess of Arundel" (again, without the article).
The children (either male or female) of holders of courtesy titles bear the styles as would be theirs if their fathers actually held the peerages by which they were known: e.g., Serena Stanhope, daughter of Viscount Petersham (heir to the Earl of Harrington) had the style of The Honourable, which is reserved for daughters of viscounts and barons, a title which her father only held by courtesy.[1][2]
Choosing a courtesy peer's title
The actual courtesy title which is used is a matter of family tradition. For instance, the eldest son of The Duke of Buccleuch and Queensberry is styled "Earl of Dalkeith", even though the duke is also The Marquess of Dumfriesshire, a title which outranks the earldom. Similarly, the eldest son of The Marquess of Londonderry is styled "Viscount Castlereagh", even though the marquess is also The Earl Vane.
In a few houses, successive heirs alternate between two courtesy titles. Heirs to the Marquess of Lansdowne are alternately "Earl of Kerry" and "Earl of Shelburne"; heirs to the Earl of Jersey are alternately "Viscount Grandison" and "Viscount Villiers".
Titles with the same name as a peer's main title are not used as courtesy titles. For instance, The Duke of Westminster is also The Marquess of Westminster and The Earl Grosvenor (amongst other titles). The duke's heir apparent (when there is one) is not styled "Marquess of Westminster", which would cause confusion between the son and the father, and so is styled "Earl Grosvenor" instead.
The title used does not have to be exactly equivalent to the actual peerage. For example, the eldest son of The Duke of Wellington is usually styled "Marquess of Douro", although the actual peerage possessed by his father is Marquess Douro (not of Douro).[3][4]
If a peer of the rank of earl or above does not have any subsidiary titles of a name different from his main title, his eldest son usually uses an invented courtesy title of "Lord [Surname]". For instance, the eldest son of The Earl of Devon is styled "Lord Courtenay", even though the Earl has no barony of that name; similarly, the eldest son of The Earl of Guilford is styled "Lord North". The eldest son of The Earl of Huntingdon, who has no subsidiary titles, is styled "Viscount Hastings" to avoid confusion with The Lord Hastings, a substantive peer. The heir of The Earl Castle Stewart uses the style "Viscount Stewart" in order to avoid confusion with Lord Stewart, the eldest son of Viscount Castlereagh (the eldest son of The Marquess of Londonderry).
Courtesy style of "Lord"
The honorific courtesy style of "Lord" before the given name is accorded to younger sons of dukes and marquesses. The style is always added before the person's given name and surname, as in the example of Lord Randolph Churchill, although conversational usage drops the surname on secondary reference. It is never used before the person's surname alone, and is not considered a 'title' under peerage law.
The title persists after the death of the holder's father, but is not inherited by any of his children. The wife of the holder is entitled to the feminine form of her husband's style, which takes the form of "Lady", followed by her husband's given name and surname, as in the example of Lady Randolph Churchill. The holder is addressed as "Lord Randolph" and his wife as "Lady Randolph".
Courtesy style of "Lady"
The honorific courtesy style of "Lady" is used for the daughters of dukes, marquesses, and earls. The courtesy title is added before the person's given name, as in the examples Lady Diana Spencer and Lady Henrietta Waldegrave. Because it is merely a courtesy with no legal implications, the honorific persists after the death of the holder's father but it is not inherited by her children. The courtesy style is never used immediately before the surname alone.
The honorific "Lady" is also used before the first name of Ladies Companion of the Order of the Garter and Ladies of the Order of the Thistle who do not hold another title or style.
The spouse of a woman with a courtesy style does not hold any courtesy style in right of their spouse; neither does the husband of a person with any style or title (including the husband of a peer).
Courtesy style of "The Honourable"
The younger sons of earls, along with all sons and daughters of viscounts, barons and lords of parliament are accorded the courtesy style of "The Honourable" before their name; one example is Vita Sackville-West. This is usually abbreviated to "The Hon." The style persists after the death of the holder's father, but it may not be inherited by the holder's children. It is used only in third person reference, not in speaking to the person.
Married daughters
The daughter of a duke, marquess, or earl who marries an untitled man becomes "Lady [Given name] [Husband's surname]"; an example from fiction is Lady Catherine de Bourgh in Pride and Prejudice, who married the untitled knight (or baronet) Sir Louis de Bourgh and therefore retains her courtesy style. The daughter of a viscount or baron who marries a commoner is styled "The Honourable [Given name] [Husband's surname]".
Any woman who marries a peer uses the feminine version of his peerage title, even if her own precedence is higher than his, as in the case of a duke's daughter marrying a baron, because a peerage is a substantive title, the usage of which is preferred to any courtesy style – unless she marries into the Royal Family. If a woman marries the younger son of a duke or marquess, she becomes "Lady [Husband's full name]." If she marries the younger son of an earl, or any son of viscount or baron, she becomes "The Hon. Mrs [Husband's full name]."
In case of a divorce, she may keep the same style as during marriage or she may choose to assume the style "Mrs [Given name] [Husband's surname]." Regardless of what she chooses, she loses all precedence acquired from marriage and because of the former option, there can be multiple Ladies John Smith.
Adoption
Until 2004, children who had been adopted by peers had no right to any courtesy title. Pursuant to a Royal Warrant dated 30 April 2004,[5] these children are now automatically entitled to the same styles and courtesy titles as their siblings. However, unlike biological children, they cannot inherit peerages from their parent[6] (and thus, since they cannot be heirs, if a peer adopts a son and he is the oldest son, he would use the styles of younger sons). For example, actress Nimmy March, the daughter of The Duke and Duchess of Richmond, was immediately elevated to Lady Naomi Gordon-Lennox on 30 April 2004.
Scottish peerages' rules for courtesy titles and styles differ.
Summary
Peer | Wife | Eldest son | Younger son | Unmarried daughter |
---|---|---|---|---|
Duke | Duchess | [Father's subsidiary title] | Lord [First name] [Last name] | Lady [First name] [Last name] |
Marquess | Marchioness | |||
Earl | Countess | The Honourable [First name] [Last name] | ||
Viscount | Viscountess | The Honourable [First name] [Last name] | The Honourable [First name] [Last name] | |
Baron | Baroness |
Indirect inheritance
Occasionally, a peer succeeds to a peerage upon the death of a relative who is not one of his or her parents. When this happens, the relatives of the new peer may be allowed to use the courtesy titles or styles which would have been accorded them if the new peer had succeeded a parent or grandparent in the title.
For instance, Rupert Ponsonby, 7th Baron de Mauley, succeeded his uncle in 2002. His brother George had no title, as their father was only the younger son of a peer and was never actually Baron de Mauley. However, in 2003, George was granted, by Warrant of Precedence from Queen Elizabeth II, the style and precedence that would have been his, had his father survived to inherit the barony, becoming The Honourable George Ponsonby.[7] Precedence in such circumstances is usually granted but is not automatic.
Spouses of peers
The wife of a substantive peer is legally entitled to the privileges of peerage: she is said to have a "life estate" in her husband's dignity. Thus a duke's wife is titled the "duchess", a marquess's wife the "marchioness", an earl's wife the "countess", a viscount's wife the "viscountess" and a baron's wife the "baroness". Despite being referred to as a "peeress", she is not a peer in her own right. However, this is considered a legal title, unlike the social titles of a peer's children.
The wives of eldest sons of peers hold their titles on the same basis as their husbands, i.e. by courtesy. Thus the wife of the Marquess of Douro is known as "Marchioness of Douro".[8]
Husbands
In the case of a woman who is a substantive peer in her own right, by succession or by first creation (i.e. ennoblement, most commonly in recent times under the Life Peerages Act 1958), her husband acquires no distinction in right of his wife. Thus, the husband of The Baroness Bottomley of Nettlestone has no courtesy title; he was simply called "Mr Peter Bottomley" until he was knighted and became "Sir Peter Bottomley".
In 2012, Conservative MP Oliver Colvile put forward a Ten Minute Rule bill to allow the spouse of a woman who holds an honour, if he or she enters civil partnership or marriage, to assume the title The Honourable. This bill stalled, and was not passed by the end of the Parliament.[9] In 2013, there was a private member's bill in the House of Lords introduced by Conservative excepted hereditary peer Lord Lucas to the same effect which was similarly not passed. [10]
Widows
If a prince or peer dies, his wife's style does not change unless the new peer is a married man (or a woman, if the succession permits); traditionally the widowed peeress puts "Dowager" in her style, i.e. "The Most Hon. The Marchioness of London" becomes "The Most Hon. The Dowager Marchioness of London."
If a widowed peeress's son predeceases her, her daughter-in-law does not use the title of Dowager, but is styled, e.g. "The Most Hon. Mary, Marchioness of London", until her mother-in-law dies, at which point she may use the title of "Dowager Marchioness". In more recent times, some widows choose to be styled with their Christian names, instead of as Dowager, e.g. "Octavia, Lady Baden-Powell" ("Lady Octavia Baden-Powell" would incorrectly imply she was the daughter of a duke, marquess or earl).[11]
Divorced wives and widows who remarry
It used to be customary for women with higher titles from one marriage to retain them even on subsequent remarriage. As Lord Macnaughten put it in the case of Earl Cowley v Countess Cowley [1901] AC 450: "...everybody knows that it is a very common practice for peeresses (not being peeresses in their own right) after marrying commoners to retain the title lost by such marriage. It is not a matter of right. It is merely a matter of courtesy, and allowed by the usages of society." The divorce court, in the above case, granted the earl an injunction preventing his former wife from using his title; however this was overturned by the Court of Appeal, whose decision was confirmed by the House of Lords, on the grounds that ordinary courts of law lacked any jurisdiction in matters of honour.[12]
The same practice was followed by widows who remarried. A prominent example was Catherine Parr, the last wife of Henry VIII, who continued to be known as Queen Catherine even after her marriage to The Lord Seymour of Sudeley (and, indeed, she disputed precedence with the wife of her brother-in-law the Duke of Somerset on this basis). This usage died out later in the twentieth century, and women who remarry now ordinarily take a new married name and do not retain their former title.[13]
The College of Arms, acting on an opinion of the Lord Chancellor, holds that divorced peeresses "cannot claim the privileges or status of Peeresses which they derived from their husbands".[14] While a divorced former wife of a peer is no longer a peeress, she may still use the title, styled with her forename prefixed to the title (without the definite article, the).[15][16] Her forename is used primarily to differentiate her from any new wife of her former husband. However, should the former husband remain unmarried, the former wife may continue to use the title without her forename attached.[17] Should a former wife of a peer remarry, she would lose the style of a divorced peeress and take on a style relating to her new husband.[18]
On 21 August 1996 letters patent changed titles of divorced wives of British princes, depriving their former wives of the style of Royal Highness.[19] For this reason Her Royal Highness The Princess of Wales after divorce became Diana, Princess of Wales. The same happened to Her Royal Highness The Duchess of York who became Sarah, Duchess of York.
Civil partners
Civil partners of someone using a courtesy title are not entitled to use their partner's title.
Scottish courtesy titles
Laird is a courtesy title which applies to the owner of certain long-established Scottish estates; the title being attached to the estate. Traditionally, a laird is formally styled in the manner evident on the 1730 tombstone in a Scottish kirkyard (churchyard). It reads: "The Much Honoured [Forename (John)] [Surname (Grant)] Laird of [Lairdship (Glenmoriston)]". The section titled Scottish Feudal Baronies in Debrett's states that the use of the prefix "The Much Hon." is "correct", but that "most lairds prefer the unadorned name and territorial designation". The wife of a Laird is traditionally accorded the courtesy title of Lady.[20][21][22][23]
Courtesy suffix of "Younger"
A form of courtesy title granted is the suffix of "The Younger" (also written as Yr or yr) at the end of the name. This title is granted to the Heir Apparent of a Feudal Baron and is placed at the end of his or her name (example— John Smith of Edinburgh, Younger, or John Smith, Younger of Edinburgh). The wife of a Younger may herself place the title at the end of her name. The holder is addressed as the younger (example—The Younger of Edinburgh).[24][25][26]
Courtesy prefix of "Maid"
The courtesy prefix of "Maid" is granted to the eldest daughter of a Feudal Baron. If the eldest daughter is also the heir presumptive she may either hold the title "Younger" or the title "Maid". The title is customary and not automatically given. The title is placed at the end of the name (example—Miss Alice Joy, Maid of Newcastle). The holder is addressed as "The Maid of Barony".[27]
Precedence status of courtesy titles
The courtesy titles and styles of children of peers are social, not legal. For this reason, in official documents, Lord John Smith is often referred to as John Smith, Esq., commonly called Lord John Smith; The Hon. Mrs Smith would be called Mary Jane, Mrs Smith, commonly called The Hon. Mary Jane Smith. Only peers in attendance at Parliament enjoy statutory precedence. There is, however, official precedence accorded at the Court of St James's that results from being the wife or child of a peer, and to which social styles are attached. The wives of peers, however, are peeresses and legally enjoy their titles in exactly the same manner as peeresses in their own right.
Children of peers can outrank certain actual peers. For instance, the daughter of a duke outranks a countess. However, if the daughter of a duke marries an earl, she drops to the rank of countess, because her courtesy title is subsumed in his substantive title. But, if that same daughter marries a commoner, she retains her rank. If that daughter marries the eldest son of an earl, though he may be a courtesy peer, she may keep her rank until the son inherits the earldom, when she must drop to the rank of countess.[28]
Judicial courtesy titles
College of Justice in Scotland
In Scotland, Senators of the College of Justice (the judges of the Court of Session and the High Court of Justiciary as well as the Chairman of the Scottish Land Court) traditionally use the title Lord or Lady along with a surname or a territorial name. All Senators of the College have the honorific The Honourable before their titles, while those who are also Privy Counsellors or peers have the honorific The Right Honourable. Senators are made Privy Counsellors upon promotion to the Inner House.
For example, Alexander Wylie is known as The Honourable Lord Kinclaven, whilst Ronald Mackay is known as The Right Honourable Lord Eassie. Some Senators also hold peerage titles, such as The Rt Hon. The Lady Clark of Calton, and these would be used in place of judicial titles.
Supreme Court of the United Kingdom
On creation of the Supreme Court of the United Kingdom on 1 October 2009, the first Justices already held life peerages as Lords of Appeal in Ordinary, and continued to hold them. The government announced that future appointees would not be created peers. The first non-peer appointed to the Supreme Court was Sir John Dyson, who took office on 19 April 2010.
By royal warrant dated 10 December 2010, all Justices of the Supreme Court who are not already peers are granted the style Lord or Lady followed by a surname, territorial designation or a combination of both, for life.[29][30] This was decided in order to avoid any distinction from the Scottish Senators of the College of Justice (see section above). Accordingly Sir John Dyson is styled Lord Dyson.[31] Wives of male Supreme Court justices are styled as if they were wives of peers.
Nicholas Wilson, Lord Wilson of Culworth, appointed to the Supreme Court on 26 May 2011, was the first person to use a territorial name with his judicial courtesy title, adopting reference to Culworth in Northamptonshire.
Professional courtesy titles
The title of "Doctor" (or the abbreviation "Dr") is used as a courtesy title in a number of fields by professionals who do not hold doctoral degrees. It is commonly used in this manner by qualified medical practitioners (except surgeons) and by qualified dentists.[32] The Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons also allows the use of "Doctor" as a courtesy title by its members though they must make clear in writing that they are vets and not medical doctors or holders of research degrees to ensure the public are not misled.[33][34]
The title of Captain is used as a courtesy title by shipmasters in the merchant navy who do not hold the military rank of captain.[35] It is also used in oral address for naval officers below the rank of captain who are in command of a ship.[36]
