Progetto

Abstract Wikipedia is a Wikimedia project for creating and maintaining encyclopedic articles in a language-independent way, so the same article can be read in many languages. It works together with Wikifunctions, a library of community-written natural language functions, and Wikidata, a community-edited knowledge graph.

The goal of this project is to help more people share more knowledge in more languages. Small and medium language Wikipedias can grow the number of articles available in their language, and editors can share knowledge from their communities with a wider audience.

How it works:

  • Wikidata - stores structured facts and lexical knowledge about words and entities.
  • Wikifunctions - a catalog of functions that anyone can write, call, and maintain. Contributors build multilingual natural language functions here, drawing on Wikidata's data and lexical knowledge.
  • Abstract Wikipedia - holds content in a language-independent form. It uses functions from Wikifunctions to render natural language prose and articles across supported languages.

Together, these bring us closer to a world where everyone can share in the sum of all knowledge.

Cosa è una funzione?

Una "funzione" è una sequenza di istruzioni di un programma per computer che effettuano un calcolo sulla base dei dati inseriti. Le funzioni sono una forma di conoscenza che può rispondere ad alcune domande, come quanti giorni ci sono tra due date o la distanza tra due città. Funzioni più complicate possono risolvere problemi più complessi, quali il volume di una forma tridimensionale, la distanza tra Marte e Venere in determinati giorni, o se due specie erano in vita contemporaneamente. Noi usiamo già le funzioni in molti tipi di quesiti di conoscenza, come fare domanda ad un motore di ricerca. I template {{convert}} e {{age}} sono ancora esempi di funzioni già usate in molte Wikipedia, scritti in wikitesto e Lua e copiati manualmente in ogni progetto dove sono richiesti.

Che cos'è Abstract Wikipedia?

Abstract Wikipedia lets contributors describe the content of an article once, in a structured and language-independent form. Functions from Wikifunctions turn this content into natural language sentences, using data and lexical knowledge from Wikidata. The result is an article that can be expressed in any supported language, without a person rewriting it for each one.

This is especially useful for small and medium language Wikipedias, which can use it to grow the number of articles in their language and keep them current.

Calendario

Current status

Abstract Wikipedia is in its soft launch. The project is currently working with a set of pilot Wikipedias to try out abstract articles with their communities: Malayalam, Dagbani, and Igbo. We publish weekly updates about the project on Wikifunctions.
