TASK DESCRIPTION
As a linked data user especially interested in geospatial data, I want to use GeoSPARQL features on the Wikidata Query Service so that I don’t have to learn any Wikidata-specific services.
Problem:
WDQS offers two services for geospatial search (wikibase:around and wikibase:box), but both of them are Wikidata-specific and require you to even know that they exist. I recently talked to someone at a conference who wanted to use GeoSPARQL, which seems to be the most popular geospatial extension for SPARQL, on the Wikidata query service; they weren’t even aware that our two custom services existed, and I don’t think it’s reasonable to expect every user to learn that (we’re not the only SPARQL endpoint in the world).
