Commons:Structured data/About/Platforms
Structured data is available other Wikimedia platforms. You can see or use structured data in these projects:
Wikidata edit
Wikidata, a sister project of Wikipedia, is the free knowledge base of the Wikimedia ecosystem. Wikidata is the main project that stores freely editable and re-usable, multilingual, structured data.
Wikidata contains tens of millions of data items (or entities) about notable things in the world: places, people, abstract concepts, and creative works.
Wikibase edit
Wikibase is not a website; it is a piece of software. Wikibase powers Wikidata, and the structured data on Wikimedia Commons. And, as free software, any individual or organization can download and use it to create their own, independent, structured data repositories. Many cultural institutions host their own Wikibase, like the German National Library and Rhizome.org.

This introduction to structured data focuses on Wikimedia projects, not on individual organizations' use of Wikibase.

Wikipedia edit
Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, describing knowledge about the world in text form. Structured data is not at the center there, but it appears in many places. Examples of structured data on Wikipedia include the authority control information on English Wikipedia, as well as many infoboxes on French, English, Portuguese, and other Wikipedias.
To apply Strucutred Data to other Wikimedia platforms, the Structured Data Across Wikimedia (SDAW) project is working to structure content on wikitext pages in a way that will be machine-recognizable and -relatable, to make reading, editing, and searching easier and more accessible across projects, such as Wikipedia, and on the internet.
