-Interactive Exploration: The data visualization tool offers an interactive interface, allowing users to dynamically explore and understand women's contributions, fostering a more engaging and informative user experience.

TECH STACK USED:

• Wiki Data- Wiki Data is a free and collaborative knowledge base hosted by the Wikimedia Foundation. It serves as a central repository of structured data to be used by Wikipedia.

-SPARQL Queries via Wiki data Query Services- SPARQL queries are crafted and executed using Wiki data Query Services to extract relevant data on women's contributions from Wiki data, providing a structured approach to obtaining information for further analysis.

-Power BI –Power BI is employed as the primary visualization tool, creating interactive dashboards that offer a user-friendly interface for exploring and understanding the diverse contributions of women on Wikipedia.
