Wikipedia changed the web. Now its sister site Wikidata is sharing free knowledge in a form that computers can process and build on. To build a summary of human learning and culture, make it readable by computers, and make it free, is an ambitious goal that already involves thousands of participants around the world. This talk is about what computers can do with a global, shared knowledge base; what they can't do; and and how it is up to all of us - individuals and organisations - to contribute.
