wikidata-importer

Opened this issue · 0 comments

As Wikipedia is the main dictionary nowadays and has all the desired information in structured form it would be great to have a wikidata-importer.

Every wikipedia-page has a link to the wikidata-object in the menu on the left (German Wikipedia), e.g.
https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marlon_Brando
links to:
https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q34012

there his GND-number or – when places are referenced – the geonames-ID can easily be extracted and from there on the other importers could be used.
