[Wikimediaindia-l] Wiki Data : New Wikimedia Project for Structured Data

[Srikanth Lakshmanan]

Hi all,

Wikimedia would be a starting new project "WikiData". Details here[1] . I am
particularly excited about how the interwiki data and "API"  is made
available and hope it would be immense use to all Indic languages, many
possibilities of mashups, data extractions might be easier with the
infrastructure. Sundar's idea to target Indic users using interwiki
metadata, apps like interwikiredirector[2], can benefit significantly out of
this. We shall look forward to hear more details on the project and wish all
the success both technically, community wise.
