Wikidata is CC0 licensed and positioned as a semantic hub with over 130 million items described by 13,000 properties and roughly 1.5 billion facts, multilingual labels in 400+ languages, and about 12,000 active editors. Apps query its nuanced RDF-like statements (SPARQL-style queries and newer MCP endpoints) to pull facts, local place names (Mapbox), art images (OpenArtBrowser), gov contact graphs (Govdirectory), topic tags (Yle) or lexemes for keyboards — real integrations that run in production.
