Abstract (up to 300 words to describe your proposal): Wikidata covers general purpose data about the world so far. The next big endeavor is also covering lexicographical data - data about words. This will provide support for Wiktionary but also enable a lot of things outside Wikimedia. This talk will give an overview of the plans and the possibilities we want to open up with structured data for all languages of the world.

What will attendees take away from this session?: Participants should get a good understanding about the plans for lexicographical data in Wikidata and be able to provide feedback on the plan.
