WDProp: Web Application to Analyse Multilingual Aspects of Wikidata Properties

Abstract

Compared to Wikipedia, Wikidata is a single domain website with the possibility to view information in multiple languages. Translation plays a significant role in Wikidata. Unlike Wikidata items, Wikidata properties are influenced less by translation bots and require a meaningful amount of human effort. The study of Wikidata property creation and translation is, therefore, very essential. Since the inception of Wikipedia, several research works have focused on the information flow among different language Wikipedias. The attention has now shifted to the way information on Wikidata is created and translated. The focus of this article is the Wikidata properties. WDProp is a web application created to understand and obtain an integrated view on the various multilingual aspects of Wikidata properties, from their proposition to their use on multiple domains.
