Dear Wikibase Community,


We are excited to share that we are in our alpha version for the feature for Ontology Federation! 


This feature allows you to add Wikidata items to a Wikibase instance. Please note that this feature is still a work in progress. There are also some shortcomings we would like to make you aware of:

  • The representation of federated items in the API has not been worked on, yet. It will be part of one of upcoming work packages and we would like to get feedback on API requirements.

  • Reconciling the QueryService with the newly added federated items is a subject of active investigation and development.


You can try out this feature on a test instance we set up for you.


If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to ask them here. 


You can share your feedback for the feature in our survey or also join discussions on our page for Ontology Federation.


We look forward to hearing from you!


Have a great week ahead,

Deepesha, on behalf of the Wikibase Teams
