Wikidata:Introduction/mg
Shortcuts: WD:INTRO, WD:INy Wikidata dia tahirin-kevitra faharoa maimaim-poana, iaraha-miasa, teny maro, izay manangona angon-drakitra voarindra mba hanohanana ny Wikipedia, Wikimedia Commons, ireo wiki hafa ao amin'ny Hetsika Wikimedia, ary ho an'ny olona rehetra manerantany.
Inona no dikan'izany?
Andao hijery ny filazana amin'ny antsipirihany:
- Maimaim-poana. Ny angon-drakitra ao amin'ny Wikidata dia navoaka tamin'ny Creative Commons Public Domain Dedication 1.0, izay mamela ny fampiasana indray ny angon-drakitra amin'ny toe-javatra maro samihafa. Azonao atao ny maka, manova, mizara ary mampiasa ny angon-drakitra, na dia ho an'ny tanjona ara-barotra aza, tsy mila mangataka alalana.
- Fiaraha-miasa. Ny angon-drakitra dia ampidirina sy karakarain'ny mpanitsy Wikidata, izay mamaritra ny fitsipika momba ny famoronana sy ny fitantanana ny votoaty. Misy koa bots mandeha ho azy izay mampiditra angon-drakitra ao amin'ny Wikidata.
- Marolafy-teny. Ny fanovana, ny fampiasana, ny fitetezana ary ny fampiasana indray ny angon-drakitra dia tena marolafy-teny tanteraka. Ny angon-drakitra ampidirina amin'ny fiteny rehetra dia azo ampiasaina avy hatrany amin'ny fiteny hafa rehetra. Azo atao ary ampirisihina ny manova amin'ny fiteny rehetra.
- Fotodrafitrasa fahalalana faharoa. Ny Wikidata dia tsy mitahiry fanambarana fotsiny, fa koa ny loharanony sy ny rohy mankany amin'ny tahiry angon-drakitra hafa. Izany dia mampiseho ny fahasamihafan'ny fahalalana azo ampiasaina ary manohana ny foto-kevitry ny azo hamarinina.
- Fanangonana angon-drakitra voarafitra. Ny fampiharana fandaminana voarafitra avo lenta dia mamela ny fampiasana indray mora ny angon-drakitra amin'ny tetikasan'ny Wikimedia sy ny antoko fahatelo, ary ahafahan'ny solosaina mandinika sy "mahazo" azy.
- Support for Wikimedia wikis. Wikidata assists Wikipedia with more easily maintainable information boxes and links to other languages, thus reducing editing workload while improving quality. Updates in one language are made available to all other languages.
- Anyone in the world. Anyone can use data from Wikidata to build their applications and services.
How does Wikidata work?
Wikidata is a central storage repository that can be accessed by others, such as the wikis maintained by the Wikimedia Foundation. Content loaded dynamically from Wikidata does not need to be maintained in each individual wiki project. For example, statistics, dates, locations, and other common data can be centralized in Wikidata.
The Wikidata repository
The Wikidata repository consists mainly of items, each one having a label, a description and any number of aliases. Items are uniquely identified by a Q followed by a number, such as Douglas Adams (Q42).
Statements describe detailed characteristics of an Item and consist of a property and a value. Properties in Wikidata have a P followed by a number, such as with educated at (P69).
For a person, you can add a property to specify where they were educated, by specifying a value for a school. For buildings, you can assign geographic coordinates properties by specifying longitude and latitude values. Properties can also link to external databases. A property that links an item to an external database, such as an authority control database used by libraries and archives, is called an identifier. Special Sitelinks connect an item to corresponding content on client wikis, such as Wikipedia, Wikibooks or Wikiquote.
All this information can be displayed in any language, even if the data originated in a different language. When accessing these values, client wikis will show the most up-to-date data.
| Item | Property | Value |
|---|---|---|
| Q42 | P69 | Q691283 |
| Douglas Adams | educated at | St John's College |
Working with Wikidata
There are a number of ways to access Wikidata using built-in tools, external tools, or programming interfaces.
- Wikidata Query Service and Reasonator are some of the popular tools to search for and examine Wikidata items. The tools page has an extensive list of interesting projects to explore.
- You can retrieve all data programmatically using different APIs and service.
- Client wikis can access data for their pages using a Lua Scribunto interface.
