Hi everyone, I'm very pleased to announce a project that Sahaj Khandelwal (cc'ed) and I have been working on for the last two months ago: Wikidata Walkabout, a new site that lets you browse and drill down through different "classes" of data on Wikidata. You can find it here:
https://wikidatawalkabout.org/ It's certainly not the only navigation interface for Wikidata, but what makes Wikidata Walkabout unique, I think, is its simplicity: you don't need to know any Q or P values (these are mostly hidden from the interface), or really anything about Wikidata's structure; you just need to click on different values to find whatever interests you. Wikidata Walkabout runs on an open-source application, Anvesha, which was created by me and Sahaj (mostly Sahaj). You can see the current code here: https://github.com/sahajsk21/Anvesha And you can read more about the site and the thinking behind it here: https://wikidatawalkabout.org/about/ There are various improvements that could be made - the biggest probably being that the site and application are currently both hardcoded in English - but hopefully this is already a useful tool, for researchers or the general public. We look forward to any feedback. -Yaron
