Wikidata is the Wikimedia movement's structured and linked data repository (a sister project to Wikipedia and the Wikimedia Commons). It is based on standard linked data technologies (RDF, SPARQL, etc.), with all the advanced collaboration and accountability features of wikis. In just six years it has amassed structured data about more than 51 million items, with billions of individual data statements. It is increasingly a collaboration venue and a discovery and interoperability nexus between disparate repositories. WIKIDATA LOVES YOU and wants you to succeed!
