Wikidata is a free structured knowledge base, currently with over 100 million items. Its records include people, objects, works of art, places, events, geographies, concepts and even journal articles. Wikidata also includes the relationships between items. This hands-on introductory workshop will provide an overview of item records in Wikidata, including how they are structured and described, and a demonstration on how to retrieve these items using the query language SPARQL. No previous knowledge of Wikidata or SPARQL is necessary, but we highly recommend attending the Wikidata Basics workshop being held on Monday, February 13.
