Wikibase is a free and open source software bundle and associated services for managing structured data that can be collaboratively edited and read by humans and by computers, translated into multiple languages and shared with the rest of the world as part of the Linked Open Data web. Research and Cultural Heritage organizations increasingly work with Wikibase to create and manage their own linked open knowledge bases. Its flexibility allows curators, archivists, designers and researchers to create complex databases and to connect their data with other knowledge bases around the world. This talk will provide an in-depth introduction to wikibase and will present several use cases of Wikibase, while it will also introduce participants to some of it's basic functionalities.
