Hey there,

When I parse the JSON from the dumpfiles, I find coordinates like

{"latitude":51.835,
"longitude":10.785277777778,
"altitude":null,
"precision":0.00027777777777778,
"globe":"http:\/\/www.wikidata.org\/entity\/Q2"}

However the altitude-key is not represented in the WDTK data model. Is
this key deprecated (i.e. should I ignore it when converting dump-JSON
to WDTK-objects)?

Yes, it has been decided some time ago that altitude will not become part of the geo datatype any time soon. Altitudes will probably be specified using quantity values (as soon as units of measurement work). The altitude data in the internal dump format can be ignored for now.

Cheers,

Markus
