Deploy Wikibase

Problem to solve

Wikibase is a knowledge base software, that is intended to be used as a searchable database for hardware projects.

Intended users

  • Administrators: Ensure service availability, provide service maintenance
  • Developers:
    • write new queries for the knowledge base (current list of queries here)
    • contribute to ontology development (current draft here)
    • write new crawler modules based on the existent knowledge base (see this issue)
  • Users:
    • developers:
      • first and foremost facilitate design reuse
      • replace manual packaging; metadata shall enable a download button for:
        • production files (export only)
        • developer files (sources only)
        • full package (export + sources)
    • manufacturers / service providers
      • find OSH ready for decentralised (mass) production, maintenance and service provision
      • later: include manufacturers in Wikibase to run matchmaking queries ("Where to buy this part?")
    • researchers:
      • support research on OSH by specialised queries on a very large (and partly manually curated) OSH knowledge base
