    '''Wikidata''' [http://wikidata.org (.org)] is a project by WikiMedia Foundation initiated in the start of [[2012]] to develop a data repository called wikidata.org and it's underlying [[mw:Extension:Wikibase| Wikibase extension]].
    '''Wikidata''' [http://wikidata.org (.org)] is an effort to store and serve structured data to [[Wikimedia]] wikis and to a more limited extent to other parties. Wikidata was started in [[2012]]. The software developed is known as the [[Wikibase]] extension.  


    It aims to provide for data ( such as [[infobox]] data ) a central repository similarly as the [[commons]] does for files.
    Wikibase allows [[interwiki]] links to be managed with Wikidata removing much contributor annoyanges, redundancy and error-proneness.
     
    One of the aims of the project is to make the data accessible to computers as well as humans.
     
    Also [[interwiki]] ( inter-language ) links are now hosted with Wikidata removing much redundancy and error-proneness.
