Abstract Wikipedia

Abstract Wikipedia is an in-development project of the Wikimedia Foundation that aims to use Wikifunctions to create a language-independent version of Wikipedia using its structured data.[1]

The overall project was conceived by Denny Vrandečić, the co-founder of Wikidata, in a Google working paper in April 2020,[2] formally proposed in May 2020 (as Wikilambda), and approved by the Wikimedia Foundation board of trustees in July 2020 as Abstract Wikipedia.[3][4][5] In March 2021, Vrandečić published an overview of the system in the April 2021 article "Building a Multilingual Wikipedia", in the computer science journal Communications of the ACM.[6]
