Wikibase data model
Description and aliases
Identifiers
The Linked Open Data main principle is to connect information stored in different institutions on the Web by reconciling objects through their unique URIs.
Wikibase allows the creation of special statements, “Identifiers” as they are called in Wikidata, to relate items with the outside world.
Examples of such properties are the Wikidata Entity (P2), Wikidata Property (P3) and the GeoNames ID (P5).
