We here discuss Wikidata, a young sister project of Wikipedia, with one key difference: it is a machine readable database, making it far more useful for interoperability of molecular databases in systems biology [1,2]. Thanks to the WikiProject Chemistry community on Wikidata, there is a growing amount of information about chemical compounds.
