Wikidata is 9, and Wikibase the software that powers it is also thus about 9! Twitter has been around for the entire Wikibase lifespan. So let’s take a look back through time at some of the most liked Wikibase tweets (according to Twitter free search) since creation.

Want this list but for Wikidata? Check out my Wikidata focused post!

Today is also my 28th anniversary working for @SILibraries. Though the rare book cataloging is on hold till we’re back in the office, I’ve been keeping busy with Wikidata & Wikibase work, @BioDivLibrary record clean-up, & other fun metadata-y stuff. 🎉

2017 was the year that the Wikibase docker images first appeared! The release strategy recently got an overhaul and the code behind the docker images now lives in a new repository.

Yes! A full stack from Wikibase to WDQS in Docker, with federated queries, turned on. https://github.com/addshore/wikibase-docker #wikidatacon

Just as an architect learns by visiting famous historical buildings, I think software producers should do the same. Some of the most important software for PC that I pick are visicalc, dbase, pfs series, Adventure, Wizardry1, Ultima1, WikiBase, hypercard, etc.

A library for the data model for Wikibase and thus also Wikidata that we have all come to know and love over the years was published back in 2013.
