I'm a computer engineer and quite new to wikidata and the SPARQL world in general. I discovered it when clicking on the little Q thing on the maplinks on Wikipedia.

My current understanding is pretty basic:

  • There is data on wikidata
  • Use SPARQL to query it
  • Copy/paste/tweak examples and let the magic happen
  • When spotting missing information (official website so far), add it.
  • Show stuff on a map
