From Open Collaboration to Customized Control: Transitioning from Wikidata to Wikibase


Transition from open collaboration to customized control with Wikibase, a self-hosted platform designed for tailored data management. While Wikidata provides a robust, open, multilingual, and collaborative environment, it may not fully address the specific needs of personal or institutional data. Wikibase empowers you to structure and manage your information on your own infrastructure, combining the strengths of Wikidata with the flexibility of a self-hosted solution. By seamlessly integrating global entities, leveraging existing translations, and aligning with linked open databases, including Wikidata, Wikibase enables you to build a connected and enriched data ecosystem. Discover how Wikibase bridges collaboration and control, offering independence while staying interconnected within the open data landscape.
