Wikidata isGrowing up!
As Wikidata grows so does its reputation.
Outside organisations now want to donate their data to Wikidata.
This is an incredible opportunity to enrich Wikidata!
Mass imports are not easy and must be done correctly to be of use!
This is greatnews, but...
also...wouldn’t it be great if we could invite experts to be a part of the import process, allowing them to easily contribute their valuable knowledge to the cause. And of course, we need to keep track of who is importing what and from where.
Experts contributions CommunityCollaboration
Synchronized with source
Well organised central location
DATA IMPORTHUB
● First version not very user friendly
● Not used by everyone who imports data
● The process is still not fully documented
This is why we created the Dataset Imports area
Hopefully you also see the potential and the importance of this project.
You've seen what is missing!
Next?If you have to data to import, we will help you start using the hub
If you have the skills to make the process easier, please help us!
Together we can build a system that will be incredibly important for the continued growth of Wikidata.
Thank You! Let’s make it easier to receive donations!
