title: A Digital Preservation Wikibase
abstract: The Wikidata for Digital Preservation (WikiDP) Wikibase is a project of the Yale University Library’s department of digital preservation. The WikiDP Wikibase is an open knowledge base that is publicly available on the web. We outline the relationship of Wikibase to other software of the Wikimedia Foundation, and pro- vide examples of where it is being used. We describe the data models, data sources, and connections between the WikiDP Wikibase and the Wikidata knowledge base. We discuss our decision to use Wikibase for this project which involves transforming a data set related to software into a knowledge base using technologies of the Semantic Web.
