## DESCRIPTION

**Catmandu::Wikidata** provides modules to process data from \<http://www.wikidata.org/\> within the Catmandu framework. In particular it facilitates access to Wikidata entity record via Catmandu::Importer::Wikidata, the simplification of these records via fixes (`wd_language($language)`, `wd_simple()`, `wd_simple_strings()`, and `wd_simple_claims()`). Other Catmandu modules can be used to further process the records, for instance to load them into a database.

## MODULES

- Catmandu::Importer::Wikidata

  Imports entities from \<http://www.wikidata.org/\>.

- Catmandu::Fix::wd\_language

- Catmandu::Fix::wd\_simple\_strings

  Simplifies labels, descriptions, and aliases of Wikidata entity record.

- Catmandu::Fix::wd\_simple\_claims

  Simplifies claims of a Wikidata entity record.

- Catmandu::Fix::wd\_simple

  Applies Catmandu::Fix::wd\_simple\_strings and Catmandu::Fix::wd\_simple\_claims. Further simplifies sitelinks and optionally applies Catmandu::Fix::wd\_language.
