Wikibase is a collection of software applications and libraries for creating, managing, and sharing data; and specifically, structured data. In essence, this concept means that all information entered onto Wikibase is 'machine-readable', effectively creating a database of information, which can be accessed universally, and crucially, is open data. A MediaWiki extension, created and hosted by Wikimedia Deutschland (WMDE) in 2012, Wikibase is an open source project.[1] Wikibase software was developed for, and is used extensively by Wikimedia Wikidata. Other wiki sites and projects using Wikibase include Europeana - Eagle Project, FactGrid, Rhizome ArtBase, DroidWiki, and Uncyclomedia UnData.
Non-wiki projects using Wikibase include the German National Library (de: Deutsche Nationalbibliothek),[1] Enslaved: Peoples of the Historical Slave Trade,[2] TIB – Leibniz Information Centre for Science and Technology and University Library (de: TIB – Leibniz-Informationszentrum Technik und Naturwissenschaften und Universitätsbibliothek),[3] Black Bibliography Project[4]
