Wikidata as a Tool for Mapping Investment in Open Infrastructure

"This working paper shares the results of research conducted to explore Wikidata's current coverage of the domain of open infrastructure and investment therein. The research question investigates whether Wikidata, a collaboratively edited and multilingual knowledge graph hosted by the Wikimedia Foundation, is a viable prospect for hosting investment flow data for open infrastructure.    At present, Wikidata partially describes the domain. Coordinated efforts to collectively define relevant data categories, relationships, and values, and to align distributed editing will help to improve coverage.   This study was conducted as part of a Research Fellowship with Invest in Open Infrastructure (IOI), and is generously supported by the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation.  We invite feedback and comments directly in this document. Please feel free to add your thoughts via the commenting function. Have questions? Contact us. ..."
