On January 22, 2026, Nikola Tulechki was a guest at the weekly webinars at the GATE Institute with a 60-minute lecture dedicated to Wikidata and the Bulgarian data on Wikidata:
- administrative territorial entities
- politicians and government
- memory (historical monuments and cultural heritage)
- schools, mountain huts
Dr. Tulechki stressed on the role of Wikidata as a priceless resource for many data integrations tasks and an authority control hub with 10184 out of its 13186 properties being external identifiers.
