I don't know because I'm not the developer of the app and my knowledge is limited in this area. For many years now, I am collecting data (information, photo, coordinates) about the cemetery. I've publish everything on Commons, Wikidata and OSM, so developers can do something smart with that ;) Pyb

That's a great idea! Just curious, for such a specific use case, why did you go for an App instead of a Website? On Tue Oct 28 2014 at 7:29:22 AM Sjoerd de Bruin wrote: > Not available in the Dutch iTunes Store... > > Op 28 okt. 2014 om 15:26 heeft Pierre-Yves Beaudouin < > pierre.beaudo...@g

Hoi, I find it funny that you ask EXACTLY the right question but you get the opposite answer; I do not care for the query language I care for it being available. As a consequence millions of edits have been made. Consequently this query tool is practical. I have been told that a layer on top of it

Gerard, what is there practical about having a query language that 1) is not a standard and never will be 2) is not supported by any other tool or project and never will be? I would understand this kind of reasoning coming from a hobbyist project, but not from one claiming to be a global "free li

Hoi, Query has been promised and unofficially we have it for a VERY long time.. It is called WDQ. it is used in many tools. The official query will only provide a subset of functionality for quite some time as I understand it. Practical cases in RDF for what by whom ? Wikidata is first and foremos

The data model is close to RDF, but not quite. Statements in items are reified statements, etc. Technically it is semantic data, where RDF is one possible representaton. There was a decision choice to keep Mediawiki to ease reuse within the Wikimedia sites, mostly so users could reuse their knowle
