It can be extended. What I want is a limited domain specific language tailored to our primary use cases. Having it largely compatible with WDQ would be great. I did not mean to imply that we have to accept the current limitations of WDQ. I'm arguing that we should impose sensible limitations on queries, instead of committing to support everything that is possible with SPARQL. > A possible solution is maybe to support two query languages "as primary": 1 > WDQ, at first, in order to have something working quickly 2 A safe subset > of SPARQL (if it is possible) that would be implemented later using the > experience got form the deployment of the first version of the query > system.

That's why I'd limit it to labs-based usage. -- daniel -- Daniel Kinzler Senior Software Developer Wikimedia Deutschland Gesellschaft zur Förderung Freien Wissens e.V. _______________________________________________ Wikidata-tech mailing list Wikidata-tech@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikidata-tech
