'''OmegaWiki''' is self-described as a "collaborative project to produce a free, {{tag|multilingual}} resource in every {{tag|language}}, with lexicological, terminological and {{tag|thesaurus}} information".  In other words, "{{tag|information}} on all words of all languages", a multilingual {{tag|dictionary}} whose entries have definitions translated to as many languages as possible and which provides synonyms and translations for the word in even more languages.  Significantly, the OmegaWiki {{tag|data}} is available in a relational {{tag|database}}, and it uses '[[wikidata]]', making it possible to use the [[wiki]]s data for many purposes.
