Wikibase is free software that stores and organizes information that can be collaboratively edited and read by humans and by computers, translated into multiple languages and shared with the rest of the world as part of the Linked Open Data (LOD) web.

Happy Free Software Day to everyone! Wikibase would not exist without all its contributors and collaborators. Thank you for being with us and making Wikibase what it is: an open-source software suite for creating collaborative knowledge bases, opening the door to the Linked Open Data web.
We can’t wait for more ideas and projects to come to life. 🌱

Das Internet war mal ein Ort des freien Wissens – heute dominieren Datenmonopole.
Die #WikidataCon2025 zeigt, wie offene Daten, gemeinschaftlich gepflegtes Wissen und freie Technologie ein Gegengewicht schaffen. 🔥
Im Fokus: @wikidata & @Wikibase – Projekte, die das Rückgrat eines freien, vernetzten Wissenswebs bilden. 💪
👉31.10.–2.11. online: https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Event:WikidataCon_2025
Presentation of using MediaWiki as platform for knowledge graphs at the IJCKG 2025 14th International Joint Conference on Knowledge Graphs, Industry track. The talk argues that MediWiki - with certain extensions like Semantic MediaWiki or Wikibase - can be a great open-source platform for building and curating knowledge graphs, especially with user generated content. - Als PDF herunterladen oder kostenlos online ansehen
