The background for this decision was > that we see audiences to whom we introduce Wikidata become especially > enthusiastic when we present the Wikidata Query Service > <https://wdqs-tutorial.toolforge.org/> tutorial > <https://wdqs-tutorial.toolforge.org/>, which offers quite a > unique feature within the landscape of information services available > today. This enthusiasm often dampens when audiences discover that querying > is not done using natural language but rather requires learning SPARQL. > > We believe learning SPARQL is not rocket science, even for audiences with > no programming background. We created a step-by-step tutorial website to > give users an introduction and some basic lessons on how to use the query > service. While WDQS has a great Help section, this section might not be so > helpful to users who are new to Wikimedia platforms. We therefore built the > tutorial website on the WordPress platform which has a more familiar design > to most users. > > We believe this website will make the WDQS more accessible, and hope this > will be a way to expand Wikidata to new audiences. > > Currently the site is in English but we are open for collaborations to add > the tutorial in other languages. We are also keen to hear feedback from > those involved in Wikidata Outreach. > > > > Revital Poleg > > Executive Director > > > > >
