Abstract (up to 300 words to describe your proposal)

What is Wikidata, the free knowledge base and sister project of Wikipedia? How can Wikidata support minority languages inside and outside the Wikimedia projects? What is lexicographical data and how can you contribute to collect structured data about your language?

This presentation will be accessible to anyone who doesn't know Wikidata yet, and will have a focus on languages and lexicographical data.

What will attendees take away from this session?: The participants will have an overview of how Wikidata is organized, what are its goals, and will hopefully be curious about more information and how to edit Wikidata.
