Wikimedia Wikidata: Difference between revisions

'''Wikidata''' – ''the free knowledge base that anyone can edit'' – is a new {{tag|Wikimedia Foundation}} hosted and maintained project, {{tag|FoundedIn2012|founded 2012}}.  Wikidata aims to create a free {{tag|knowledge}} base about the {{tag|earth|world}} that can be read and edited by humans and machines alike.  It will provide {{tag|data}} in all the [[:Category:Wiki Language|languages]] of the [[Wikimedia Foundation|Wikimedia]] projects, and allow for the central access to data in a similar vein as [[Wikimedia Commons]] does for multimedia files.  Wikimedia Wikidata uses a {{tag|Wiki MultiLicense|dual licensing}} scheme: "All structured data from the main and property namespace is available under the {{tag|Wiki Creative Commons Public Domain Dedication (CC0)|Creative Commons CC0 License}}; text in the other namespaces is available under the {{tag|Wiki Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike|Creative Commons Attribution/Share-Alike License}}".
