We present Templet: an online question answering (QA) system for Wikidata.
Templet is based on the collaboratively-edited repository QAWiki, which
collects questions in multiple natural languages along with their corresponding
structured queries. Templet generates templates from question-query pairs on
QAWiki by replacing key entities with identifiers. Using autocompletion, the
user can type a question in natural language, select a template, and again
using autocompletion, select the entities they wish to insert into the
template's placeholders, generating a concrete question, query and results. The
main objectives of Templet are: (i) to enable users to answer potentially
complex questions over Wikidata using natural language templates and
autocompletion; (ii) to encourage users to collaboratively create new templates
via QAWiki, which in turn can benefit not only Templet, but other QA systems.
