Wikidata is a project of the Wikimedia Foundation that seeks to create a collection of structured data that can be used in other Wikimedia projects, such as Wikipedia. The German chapter of Wikimedia started Wikidata. Wikidata plays a significant role because its structure allows non-WMF websites to display the information assembled by Wikipedia volunteers without also exposing computer users to the endless series of annoying WMF solicitation banner ads.
