Since Wikitravel content was accessible through a data dump (allowed by Creative Commons license, although disabled shortly thereafter by Internet Brands), the new website, running under the brand of Wikivoyage, took over both the content and the crucial part of the Wikitravel community, leaving Internet Brands in a very difficult strategic position (Cohen, 2012; see also [[Wikivoyage]]). 3. Small steps in this area are being made.

birth < "1901-01-01"^^xsd:date) . } ORDER BY ?name Wikidata Wikidata is one of the largest LOD databases that features both human-readable and machine-readable contents, at http://www.wikidata.org. Wikidata contains structured data from Wikimedia projects, such as Wikimedia Commons, Wikipedia, Wikivoyage, and Wikisource, as well as from the once popular directly editable Freebase dataset, resulting in approximately 13 million data items. In contrast to many other LOD datasets, Wikidata is collaborative—anyone can create new items and modify existing ones. Like Wikipedia, Wikidata is multilingual.
