Homepage of Wikipedia - when you scroll down there is a whole infrastructure built around it.

Wikidata is the "youngest" structure among all.

Tim Berners Lee tried to create the Semantic web. It's his second try after the WWW. To make the internet a place for meaningful content.

Wikidata makes it easy to link pieces of content together. Now it is described as a "knowledge base".
Humans and non-humans are helping out within the Wikidata to do the checking, sourcing, etc. Wikipedia is both readable content for humans and computers alike.

You can contribute to the topics you are interested in via Wikidata. For example, bonsai.

Structure of a Wikidata page:

• Items (new or existing pages) - what is worth entering wikidata and what is not? If you enter something very specific it is likely to be deleted. They want to keep it useful for the general public.
• Tools
• Statements
• Identifiers

Content gap - for example, the LGBTQ is not covered almost at all. Participation gap - SPARQL is a programming language; a semantic query language for databases.
