FYI: this project claims to use Wikidata (among other resources) for
multilingual word-sense disambiguation. One of the first third-party
uses of Wikidata that I am aware of (but other pointers are welcome if
you have them). Wiktionary and OmegaWiki are also mentioned here.
Cheers,

Babelfy: Word Sense Disambiguation and Entity Linking together!
http://babelfy.org
======================================================
As an output of the "MultiJEDI" Starting Grant <http://multijedi.org>,
funded by the European Research Council and headed by Prof. Roberto
Navigli, the Linguistic Computing Laboratory <http://lcl.uniroma1.it>of
the Sapienza University of Rome is proud to announce the first release
of Babelfy <http://babelfy.org>.
Babelfy [1] is a joint, unified approach to Word Sense Disambiguation
and Entity Linking for arbitrary languages. The approach is based on a
loose identification of candidate meanings coupled with a densest
subgraph heuristic which selects high-coherence semantic
interpretations. Its performance on both disambiguation and entity
linking tasks is on a par with, or surpasses, those of task-specific
state-of-the-art systems.
Babelfy draws primarily on BabelNet (http://babelnet.org), a very large
encyclopedic dictionary and semantic network. BabelNet 2.5 covers 50
languages and provides both lexicographic and encyclopedic knowledge for
all the open-class parts of speech, thanks to the seamless integration
of WordNet, Wikipedia, Wiktionary, OmegaWiki, Wikidata and the Open
Multilingual WordNet.
Features in Babelfy:
* 50 languages covered!
* Available via easy-to-use Java APIs.
* Disambiguation and entity linking is performed using BabelNet, thereby
implicitly annotating according to several different inventories such as
WordNet, Wikipedia, OmegaWiki, etc.
