Welcome to QAWiki: a repository of questions and queries that anyone can contribute to!

QAWiki collects questions in different languages, and queries over knowledge bases like Wikidata that can answer them.

Questions are typically factual so that they are answerable by knowledge bases. As some examples:

Here you can query for all the questions (and queries) collected thus far by QAWiki in English and Spanish.

How can I contribute?

There are many ways in which you can contribute to QAWiki.

Users who are not familiar with query languages like SPARQL can:

  • Create items for new questions, thus requesting a query from another user.
  1. Create a new item.
  2. Add the question in the language(s) you prefer as the label of the new item.
  3. Optionally add other ways to ask the same question as aliases.
  4. Add the claim that the new item is an instance of question.
  • Translate questions (or other items/properties) for the language you speak.
  1. Use the following query to find questions without a version in a language (the example is for French, but you can change the two letter "fr" code to any language).
  2. Visit the questions you like and translate the question to your language.
  • Add mentions for entities found in questions for languages you speak.
  1. Use the following query to find questions ordered by the number of entity mentions annotated for a language (the example is English, but you can change the two letter "en" code to any language).
  2. Visit the question(s) you like.
  3. Add new values for the mention property in the language of your choice. These should be substrings of a question or alias in the same language.
  4. Add one or more qualifier values for the Wikidata item ID property indicating the item on Wikidata that the mention(s) refer(s) to in the specific context of the question.
  • Add mentions for properties found in questions for languages you speak.
  1. Use the following query to find questions ordered by the number of property mentions annotated for a language (the example is English, but you can change the two letter "en" code to any language).
  2. Visit the question(s) you like.
  3. Add new values for the mention property in the language of your choice. These should be substrings of a question or alias in the same language.
  4. Add one or more qualifier values for the Wikidata property ID property indicating the item on Wikidata that the mention(s) refer(s) to in the specific context of the question.

Users who are familiar with query languages like SPARQL can also:

  1. Use the following query to find questions without a corresponding query.
  2. Visit the question(s) you like.
  3. Add the query to solve the question via the property query.
  4. Add the qualifier dataset to indicate Wikidata and the qualifier query language to indicate SPARQL.
