Note: I'm intensively studying Chinese, so I'm not spending as much time as I used to do in Wikidata. However, this doesn't mean that I've lost interest on contributing to this project.
Why I contribute to Wikidata?
edit
I love answering granular questions to find unknown facts on different domains of knowledge. SPARQL and all the knowledge bases on the public domain are useful tools in that purpose.
I also contribute to Wikidata because
- It is a community driven project
- It can enhance education on developing countries
- In the future, I hope, Wikidata can be used to improve the education in Peru, the country I was born.
- Minority groups are not (seem to be) left behind
My interests
edit
I'm interested in computer science, knowledge graphs, semantic data, structured data and data science.
I was introduced to linked data through Wikidata in one of my database courses. What caught my attention about Wikidata was how my teacher was able to show universities in a map of any country just by changing the name of a variable in a SPARQL query which initially showed museums around the world.
