Hello all,
The Wikidata development team is currently doing some research to understand better how people access and reuse Wikidata’s data from the code of their applications and tools (for example through APIs), and how we can improve the tools to make your workflows easier.
We are running a short survey to gather more information from people who build tools based on Wikidata’s data. If you would like to participate, please use this link https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfJ-I_Ib2EOuRVG4XfeUazhXTvgKsjcKhAa2eauibSsNM_EwA/viewform?usp=sf_link (Google Forms, estimated fill-in time 5min). If you don’t want to use Google Forms, you can also send me a private email with your answers. We would love to get as many answers as possible before June 9th.
The data will be anonymously collected and will only be shared in an aggregated form.
If you have any questions, feel free to reach out to me directly.
Cheers,
If someone don't want to use the Google form, how would they know which questions to answer?
Best, Jan Ainali http://ainali.com
