Hi Lydia, Thanks for your quick reply.
So the data stored at wikidata.org repository database will not change, but the dumps of the database will change? Is it possible to provide 2 kinds of dumps? One for raw data (in internal JSON serialization format) and one for data model (in exteranl JSON serialization format).
