Hands-on-Workshop: Wikidata: An Open Knowledge Graph for Research and Beyond (auf Englisch)

Wikidata is a collaboratively edited knowledge graph that structures information from Wikipedia and many other sources into machine-readable data. Since its launch in 2012, it has become one of the largest open structured knowledge bases in the world, used by researchers, cultural institutions, developers, and the Wikimedia communities.

This talk introduces Wikidata and explains why structured open data has become increasingly important for research and knowledge infrastructures. The presentation will explore how Wikidata can be used both in academic research and in non-academic contexts such as cultural heritage projects, digital tools, and public knowledge initiatives.

Participants will learn how information in Wikidata is modeled, how it can be queried using SPARQL through the Wikidata Query Service, and how researchers and developers can reuse this data to build new tools and visualizations. The talk will also present several tools and projects that are built on top of Wikidata, demonstrating how open structured data can support new forms of knowledge exploration, analysis, and reuse.
