Hi Daniel, I started working on the DBpedia release and just wanted to check what's the current status of the Wikidata dumps. I saw that RDF data and RDF URIs like http://www.wikidata.org/entity/Q1 are already available. Cool! Do you think there will be RDF dumps soon, i.e. in the next few weeks?
If not, could you guys prepare a dump of the sitelinks table, as you suggested below? If it's not too much effort, it would be cool if you could generate CSV or a similar simple format. We won't put the stuff into a DB, we just extract the data, and we would have to write a parser for SQL insert statements. CSV would be much simpler. Thanks a lot for your help!
