Abstract

This text underscores the importance of open resources like Wikidata for Social Sciences, providing access to data that facilitates research in social, economic, and cultural areas. In addition to describing the structure and operation of Wikidata, which uses an open, multilingual graph system to model complex relationships and make information accessible, the document also provides practical guidance on how to start using and accessing the data. Through case studies, it illuminates the potential of Wikidata in various research areas. While Wikidata offers vast possibilities for flexible and detailed analysis, it faces challenges of data integrity and bias. It is crucial to approach its use with a critical mindset and actively contribute to enhancing the platform.
