Wikidata is the free structured knowledge database with almost 50 million structured data items that anyone can edit. A sister project to Wikipedia, it’s part of a global movement to freely share the sum of all knowledge. In this workshop we’ll explore how Wikidata transforms facts into structured data, and how it deals with multiple interpretations of truth in a world that feels post-fact at times.
