[edit | edit source]Wikidata's data is the basis for a lot of technology you use every day. However it's not always easy for developers to use the data to build applications. We'll give a quick intro to how to find your way around Wikidata as a developer and what we are doing to make your life easier.
This session will cover some of the work we have done to make Wikidata more accessible to application builders so the data we meticulously collect and maintain is actually reaching the people who can benefit from the knowledge we can provide.
- How does your session relate to the event theme, Collaboration of the Open?
We will line out how we are making our data more accessible to application developers so ultimately more technology people use every day is built on top of a collaborative knowledge graph.
- What is the experience level needed for the audience for your session?
Some experience will be needed
