'''Wikidata''' aims to create a free knowledge base about the world that can be read and edited by humans and machines alike. It will provide data in all the languages of the Wikimedia projects, and allow for the central access to data in a similar vein as Wikimedia Commons does for multimedia files. Wikidata is proposed as a new Wikimedia hosted and maintained project.
<!--T:2-->
This page is intended to provide the entry point for information and discussions about the Wikidata project and its status. The initial development of the project is funded with a generous donation by the [http://www.ai-squared.org/ Allen Institute for Artificial Intelligence] <nowiki>[ai]</nowiki><sup>2</sup>, the [http://www.moore.org/ Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation], and [http://www.google.com Google, Inc.]</translate>
