Hoi, Hell no. Wikidata is first and foremost a product that is actually used. It has that way from the start. Prioritising RDF over actual practical use cases is imho wrong. If anything the continuous tinkering on the format of dumps has mostly brought us grieve. Dumps that can no longer be read li

[Wikidata-l] Wikidata RDF

2014-10-27 Thread Martynas Jusevičius
Hey all, so I see there is some work being done on mapping Wikidata data model to RDF [1]. Just a thought: what if you actually used RDF and Wikidata's concepts modeled in it right from the start? And used standard RDF tools, APIs, query language (SPARQL) instead of building the whole thing from

Re: [Wikidata-l] question about wikidata query on string property

2014-10-27 Thread Benjamin Good
That would make sense.. though its a strange behavior. The one odd case there was this result https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q1495661 but on a second look at has both a string "D046152" and *unknown value* hanging off of it. thanks -Ben On Mon, Oct 27, 2014 at 1:37 AM, Andrew Gray wrote: > Hi

Hello John I'm not sure that Wikidata is the right place for this kind of information, due to it's high granularity. As Zolo points out, maintaining a large directory of small things may be quite a burden for the community. However, Wikibase is by design well suited for representing research data
