- SemanticStrengh 4y agoThat's actually the original meaning of web3
- tuukkah 4y agoWikidata is very much about the "web of data" or Linked Data as for each real-world entity it collects lots of the identifiers that are used to refer to it on the web and elsewhere. This way, in addition to being a central island it also consists of bridges to the other islands forming the web. Further, wikibase and Wikibase Cloud will make it easy for people to create their own web databases ("islands") that are published as Linked Data (with RDF and Sparql) in the same way as Wikidata.
