Approaches to accessing Wikidata
| Access point | Description |
|---|---|
| Search (2023a) | Search in contexts where we can use known entity designations or specify queries based on simple data relationships |
| Linked Data Interface with URI | The Linked Data Interface provides access to individual entities via URI: http://www.wikidata.org/entity/Q??? For contexts where we need to retrieve individual and complete entities that we already know |
| Wikidata query service (2023b) | In contexts with a known data structure pattern of three components (subject, property, object), it offers two interfaces: one for SPARQL experts and one for assisted query generation |
