Connect Wikidata: open data in your application
Automatically enrich people, places, organisations and brands with the world's largest open knowledge base. We build Wikidata integrations that make your content smarter and strengthen your visibility in AI systems.
What is Wikidata?
Wikidata is the structured database behind Wikipedia: over a hundred million items on people, places, organisations, brands and concepts, free to use and in dozens of languages. Every item has a unique number (a Q number) that lets you reference it from your own application.
What you can do with it:
- Enrich content automatically: link a person or place and pull in the description, image and Wikipedia link
- Multilingual labels: the same entity is automatically called "Aken" in Dutch and "Aachen" in German
- Unambiguous data: not five spellings of the same manufacturer in your database, but one reference
- Better visibility: search engines and AI systems recognise your content as a verifiable source (sameAs)
Why Nettt?
We built a complete Wikidata integration for a digital heritage platform: searching and linking entities from the CMS, with local caching so the site does not depend on external servers, automatic type recognition (person, organisation, place), labels in multiple languages, plus images and Wikipedia links.
That integration also feeds visibility: every page gets schema.org markup with sameAs references to Wikidata and Wikipedia. Search engines show rich snippets, and AI assistants can verify the content. That makes Wikidata one of the strongest building blocks for GEO.
Frequently asked questions
No, the data is free to use (CC0). The investment is in building the integration into your application or CMS.
We build around that: we cache linked entities locally, so your site keeps running. Refreshing happens in the background.
Archives, museums and heritage platforms first, but also media sites, knowledge bases and stores with brands or manufacturers. Anywhere you want entities recorded unambiguously and multilingually.
Yes. In Statamic we build it as a dictionary or fieldtype, in Laravel as a service with its own management. Editors then search and link from their familiar environment.
