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).

Thanks,
Huidong
