Abstract
The digital landscape is evolving very fast. Programming languages as well as softwares once taught in universities and previously well-used among developers may not have the same acceptance among the new generation of developers. Initiatives like the Open Preservation Foundation, and Software Heritage play an important role to document, study and preserve these softwares for future generations. With the creation of Wikidata, the game has now changed. Wikidata provides an easy way to document and describe digital solutions using linked open data. Properties to describe various aspects of programming languages, softwares and mobile applications are being continuously proposed, created and supported by the Wikidata community. It is now increasingly becoming a central hub for linked data sources, thus enabling users to get a complete picture of a given digital artifact, especially for complementary information like dependencies, versions etc. We will present WDProp that can help both new and regular Wikidata contributors to get the latest information on Wikidata supported languages, datatypes, properties as well as community curated projects for finding relevant properties. To further facilitate this process, we also introduce the portal Wikidata for Digital Preservation. This free software portal allows people to quickly contribute to Wikidata. The interface guides users in contributing data in alignment with current data models for the domain of computing.
