It was developed for and is used by Wikidata, by Wikimedia Deutschland. The data model for Wikibase links consists of "entities" which include individual "items", labels or identifiers to describe them (potentially in multiple languages), and semantic statements that attribute "properties" to the item. These properties ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
