How will the Wikidata [1] project impact Wikipedia?

In more ways than we currently imagine, I hope. The first and obvious change is that many infoboxes will become more up to date, especially in the smaller Wikipedias. At the same time, Wikidata should reduce the maintenance cost for the articles having these infoboxes, because the data comes from a central source.

Some non-obvious ways: due to the reduced bot editing the histories of the articles in smaller Wikipedias will not be as flooded by bots as they currently are. Try it out. Go to a small Wikipedia. Take a random article. Look at the edit history. How many bots do you see? How many humans? Making the bots become less common and humans more pronounced could maybe increase the sense of community and thus increase the edit activity in those Wikipedias.

Another non-obvious way: smaller Wikipedias today can hardly afford to create articles for all cities, species, etc., because there are not enough editors to maintain these articles. Wikidata could allow them to create stubs for these articles including informative infoboxes. This in turn might drive more readers to these Wikipedias, which in turn might increase the number of editors.

Also, using Wikidata should decrease Wikipedia's reliance on complex templates in the articles themselves (especially by hiding the huge template call at the head of many pages). This will help with enabling the upcoming Visual Editor to deal with a larger portion of the page quicker. Editing the data in Wikidata should be easier than editing it in a Wikipedia template call. This in turn increases usability of Wikipedia for editors, especially casual ones, and thus might increase the editorship as well.

In short, I hope and expect that Wikidata will increase the availability of knowledge through Wikipedia, increase the number of editors globally, increase the reach of Wikipedia, and increase the quality of Wikipedia. But who knows what will really happen.

Will it change the way people add data to Wikipedia?

If you mean "Will they stop adding data through the template syntax and instead start adding data through a form-based interface", my answer is, I sure hope so. If you mean "Will it change the way people add information to Wikipedia?" I do not expect a big change, actually. Most of the information is and will remain in the text anyway, and this won't be influenced by Wikidata.

Will it enforce structure?

No, in no way will it enforce anything. It is an option that any Wikipedia community can decide for any single page, whether to use some or any of the information offered by Wikidata.

How will it impact projects that depend upon Wikipedia, like DBpedia?

It should improve greatly the extraction of structured data from Wikipedia. DBpedia is an awesome project consisting of several parts, like the extraction of data from infoboxes and other sources, a SPARQL endpoint to the extracted data, several different visual interfaces to the extracted data, etc.

Wikidata will strictly simplify the extraction process, thus freeing up resources currently spent on the extraction. All parts of DBpedia will improve by using the higher quality dataset that Wikidata will hopefully provide. In short, it should strongly and positively impact these dependent projects.

In simple explanation: 1. Removal of complex wiki markups and templates which make new editors confused. 2. Up to date data as central repository for structured data: eg. When new data on population available for city, change in central repository will reflected across all language Wikipedias. Less maintained by bots and editors > huge saving of time and source 3. Automatically updated lists: When new president elected there will be no need to edit lists of presidents on all Wikipedia lists, it will be automatically updated based on data on wikidata. List on cities by population will be updated automatically by new data. 4. Better infographics would be created from data like railway lines, family trees, hierarchy etc based on wikidata 5. Multiple structured data can be available on wikidata for same thing based on qualifiers and sources which will be available on Wikipedia unlike current infoboxes without sources 6. Large number of Stubs on smaller wikipedias derived from data from wikidata 7. Better linked Wikipedia to other Authority controls 8. All Wikipedia sister projects connected better 9. Less available data like Geo coordinates will be available across all Wikipedias 10. Large range of data related to item available unlike lnfoboxes which have certain properties only 11. In short change of small data at one place reflected across large spectrum

Wikidata is still in infancy, it would change the way data accessed on Wikipedia and across the internet or sematic web..

It will serve same as what wikimedia commons serve for media..
