Dear all,
I am happy to announce the second release of Wikidata Toolkit [1], the
Java library for programming with Wikidata and Wikibase. This release
fixes bugs and improves features of the first release (download, parse,
process Wikidata exports) and it adds new components for serializing
JSON and RDF exports for Wikidata. A separate announcement regarding the
RDF exports will be sent shortly.
Maven users can get the library directly from Maven Central (see [1]);
this is the preferred method of installation. There is also an
all-in-one JAR at github [2] and of course the sources [3].
Version 0.2.0 is still in alpha. For the next release, we will focus on
the following tasks:
* Faster loading of Wikibase dumps + support for the new JSON format
that will be used in the dumps soon
* Support for storing and querying data after loading it
* Initial steps towards storing data in a binary format after loading it
Feedback is welcome. Developers are also invited to contribute via github.
Cheers,
Markus

using this)
