We are now experiencing a couple of cases where third party uses data
from Wikidata to create user interface of data from it without any use
of Wikipedia, to support their own systems. One is a genealogy website,
who use Wikidata to present where parish having genealogy records can be
found on a map, using coordinates etc for these parisihes from
Wikidata. Another in an early phase is a water authority who will load
Wikidata with their data and present data from there.
Is this part of a trend, are there many cases like these?
Does statistics exist giving how many acesses goes to Wikidata from
3-parties? Are we missing these in our use statistic by focusing on
access to Wikipedia?
