Abstract

Ovaj rad bavi se prikazom projekta Wikidate, njenim razvojem, karakteristikama te glavnim prednostima i manama. Wikidata kao dio Wikimedija zaklade, jedna je od projekata koji pružaju besplatan pristup informacijama. Ova baza je razumljiva strojevima i ljudima jer se sastoji od strukturiranih podataka koji su međusobno povezani. Projekt je relativno novi dio Wikimedija, a u cilju ima povezati entitete u strukturiranu bazu podataka kako bi što više informacija bilo integrirano te kako bi pristup informacijama bio znatno lakši. Upravo prilikom unosa podataka, informacije prolaze kroz mehanizme provjerljivosti kako bi se ne bi dogodili sukobi autora, koji se događaju. Obilježjima poput višejezičnosti, besplatnog pristupa i strukturiranih podataka, Wikidata unaprjeđuje sestrinske projekte Wikimedije, poput Wikipedije i WikimediaCommonsa, te je zato u radu objašnjen uzajamni utjecaj Wikidatae i Wikipedije, a naglašene su i glavne sličnosti i razlike u projektima. Osim toga, objašnjeni su strukturirani podatci u WikimediaCommonsu, te potreba njihovog nastajanja i povezanosti sa Wikidatom.

Abstract (english)

This paper deals with the presentation of Wikidata, its development, characteristics and main advantages and disadvantages. Wikidata, as part of the Wikimedia Foundation, is one of the projects that provide free access to information. This database is understandable by machines and people because it consists of structured data that are interconnected. The project is a relatively new part of Wikimedia, and its goal is to connect entities into a structured database so that as much information as possible is integrated and access to information is much easier. Precisely when entering data, the information goes through verifiability mechanisms so that conflicts of authors, which do occur, do not occur. With features such as multilingualism, free access and structured data, Wikidata improves sister projects of Wikimedia, such as Wikipedia and Wikimedia Commons, and therefore the mutual influence of Wikidata and Wikipedia is explained in the paper, and the main differences in the projects are emphasized. In addition, structured data in Wikimedia Commons and the need for their creation and connection with Wikidata were explained.
