Here is a brief update. @Keegan will also be posting an update to the talk thread <https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons_talk:Structured_data#On_SPARQL> today. - The work to create a SPARQL endpoint for Commons has been re-prioritized. Our teams will be working on it over the next few months and the search team is currently estimating the work involved. - The first release will be a beta endpoint that will be updated via weekly dumps. Caveats will include limited performance, expected downtimes, and no interface, naming, or backward compatibility stability guarantees. - We do plan to move this to production, but we don't have a timeline on that yet. - The SPARQL endpoint for Commons will be restricted via a light and unobtrusive form of authentication, so that we can contact abusive bots / users and block them selectively (as a last resort) when needed. More details on this to come. - We want to emphasize that while we do expect a SPARQL endpoint to be part of a medium to long term solution, it will only be part of that solution. Even once the SPARQL endpoint is production-ready, it will still have limitations in terms of timeouts, expensive queries, and federation. Some use cases will need to be migrated, over time, to better solutions — once those solutions exist.
