Wikibase installeren

• Wikibase Suite - https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Wikibase/Suite - A software bundle that helps users create self-installed and self-maintained Wikibase instances that have greater customization needs. Primarily targeted at larger institutions with massive amounts of data, usually with their own technical staff and infrastructure that can run a production Wikibase instance.
• Docker - Docker images with MediaWiki, Wikibase and associated services - https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Wikibase/Docker
• WBstack.com & Wikibase.cloud - Free cloud based Wikibase hosting / WBaaS - https://www.wbstack.com/ + https://addshore.com/2022/02/wbstack-close-and-migration/ + https://www.wikibase.cloud/ - Wikibase.Cloud is a software-as-a-service offering launching in 2022. Its primary target groups are research groups, private individuals and less well-funded organizations that want to share free and open data with the world but that lack the dedicated resources needed to maintain the software themselves.
