Qichwabase

Welcome to Qichwabase, a wikibase instance hosted on wikibase.cloud. Qichwabase is product of a miniproject worked on at SD-LLOD-22 in June 2022, where it was awarded the Best Project Prize. Main goal is to model Quechua language lexical data as Wikibase lexemes collection, for transfer to Wikidata, as soon the dataset reaches the envisaged quality.

Qichwabase as a Wikibase instance

We have started modeling open Quechua lexical data from Runasimi Dictionary, and plan to include data from other sources, such as attestations and frequency information from Quechua webcorpora.

• See source data and code at GitHub.
• See documentation at https://nexuslinguarum.github.io/SD-LLOD-22_QUECHUA/, and presentation slides.
• New: Video presentations in this Youtube channel.

Qichwabase Ontology

• See our self-defined Ontology classes and their instances using this query. The Ontology Classes listed here do not include the Ontolex core classes used by default in a wikibase.

• See the ontological relations between items describing lexical categories using this query.
• See Quechua varieties (dialects) as described in Qichwabase using this query.
• For how lexicographical data is represented in a wikibase, see the documentation pages at Wikidata.
