Wikibase

Wikibase is a system for storing and querying structured data that powers Wikidata.

Wikibase consists of two extensions:

1. Wikibase Repository that allows a wiki to work as a repository for structured data.
2. Wikibase Client that allows a wiki to access structured data from a repository. The client can work only with repository databases it can access so they must be on the same machine or the same load balancer.

Installation

• Wikibase installation instructions at Mediawiki.org

• Advanced configuration of Wikibase
