== Open Risk Data: An Open Online Database for Risk Managers ==
Open Risk Data is a new facility that aims to collect and made available online open source / public domain / creative commons licensed ''data sets'' that are relevant for risk management purposes

== Motivation and Objective ==
The motivation for Open Risk Data is the observation that many major risk events have significant amounts of public information available about them. This is information that can be collected and structured so as to form the basis for further analysis.   

Open Risk Data is a structured data repository for select types of [https://www.openriskmanual.org/wiki/Category:Risk_Data Risk Data]. It supports the [https://www.openriskmanual.org Open Risk Manual] in the collection and dissemination of resources relevant for risk management.

== Getting started ==
* Overview of [https://www.openriskmanual.org/wiki/Open_Risk_Data Open Risk Data] principles and resources and [https://www.openriskmanual.org/wiki/Open_Risk_Manual:About General Motivation] for the Open Risk Manual
* A Generic Primer on the supported [https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Wikibase/DataModel/Primer Data Model] 
* A more complete introduction (still general scope) to the [https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Wikibase/DataModel Data Model]
* The list of currently available [[Special:ListDatatypes | Data Types]]
* An intro on using the wikidata Data Model to express [[Data Model | risk data]]
* A step back into more general [https://www.openriskmanual.org/wiki/Risk_Data_Ontology Risk Data Ontologies]
* Overview of [https://www.openriskmanual.org/wiki/Data_Quality Data Quality] issues

== Querying Data ==
* Simple Manual Search using keywords is via the Search Bar at the top of the page
* Search items [https://www.openriskmanual.org/data/index.php/Special:ItemByTitle by title] (forthcoming)
* Via the API [https://www.openriskmanual.org/data/api.php?action=wbgetentities&ids=Q8 Example]
* SPARQL API (forthcoming)

== Inserting Data ==
The manual data entry interface has two forms for creating items and properties respectively:
* [[Special:NewItem | Create New Items]]
* [[Special:NewProperty | Create New Properties]]

Programmatic insertion of data is on the roadmap building on mediawiki/wikidata tools
* [https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Help:QuickStatements QuickStatements] (forthcoming)
* [https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:Tools/OpenRefine OpenRefine] (forthcoming)

== Datasets ==
* [https://www.openriskmanual.org/wiki/Fintech_Risk_Events Fintech Risk Events] is a collection of [[Item:Q6 | risk events]] that is being migrated from the Manual to the Database as a demo of an Open Risk Data use case
* Data Breaches Dataset (forthcoming)

== Technology ==
Open Risk Data is based on [https://wikiba.se/ Wikibase]. Wikibase is a powerful, flexible and customizable open source knowledge base software that drives [https://www.wikidata.org Wikidata]. Wikidata acts as the central storage for the structured data of its Wikimedia sister projects including Wikipedia, Wikivoyage, Wiktionary, Wikisource, and others. 

Wikibase's data export options include JSON, RDF/XML, N3, YAML and more and it provides a powerful query interface using SPARQL for both local and federated queries (with updates on changes), extending the potential data available from a single node to thousands. '''NB: This functionality is not yet implemented in Open Risk Data (upcoming)'''

A growing number of open databases participate in the wikidata universe as [https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Wikidata_Query_Service/User_Manual/SPARQL_Federation_endpoints federated endpoints]

== Federation ==
There is a growing list of wikibase instances around the world (besides the initial Wikidata instance itself). An official list is available here ([https://wikibase-registry-query.wmflabs.org/#%23defaultView%3ATimeline%0ASELECT%20%3Fitem%20%3FitemLabel%20%3FcreationDate%20%28SAMPLE%28%3Flogo%29%20AS%20%3Fimage%29%0AWHERE%0A%7B%0A%20%20%20%20%3Fitem%20wdt%3AP11%20wd%3AQ20%20.%0A%20%20%20%20%3Fitem%20wdt%3AP5%20%3FcreationDate%20.%0A%09SERVICE%20wikibase%3Alabel%20%7B%20bd%3AserviceParam%20wikibase%3Alanguage%20%22%5BAUTO_LANGUAGE%5D%2Cen%22%20%7D%0A%20%20%20%20OPTIONAL%20%7B%20%3Fitem%20wdt%3AP8%20%3Flogo%20%7D%0A%7D%0AGROUP%20BY%20%3Fitem%20%3FitemLabel%20%3FcreationDate as a query]). The objective is that Open Risk Data will become a golden source for structured risk data information as part of the Open Data ecosystem
