Summary

edit

The knowledge base Wikidata is a collaboratively edited online centralised repository, the use of which is free. The data are structured according to Resource Description Framework (RDF) specifications and published under the CC0 free licence. Wikidata do not store original information, all statements (entity–attribute–value) must have references. From our point of view, Wikidata will be the next key tool for heritage institution's professionals, if it is not already. We see three main uses : find information, clean and link autorities, give visibility to their collections.
