Yes, thanks for the styles :-) I was trying to make it look familiar on the UI, although it's a rather different application in the back.

    Hi all,

    As promised a while ago, we have reworked our "Wikidata Classes and
    Properties" browser. I am happy to introduce the first beta version of a
    new app, called SQID:

    http://tools.wmflabs.org/sqid/

    It is a complete rewrite of the earlier application. Much faster, more
    usable, much more up-to-date information, supported on all reasonable
    browsers, and with tons of new features. Try it yourself, or read on for
    the main functions and current dev plans:


    == Browse classes and properties ==

    You can use it to find properties and class items by all kinds of
    filtering settings:

    http://tools.wmflabs.org/sqid/#/browse?type=properties
    http://tools.wmflabs.org/sqid/#/browse?type=classes

    New features:
    * Sort results by a criterion of choice
    * Powerful, easy-to-use filtering interface
    * Search properties by label, datatype, qualifiers used, or co-occurring
    properties
    * Search classes by label, (indirect) superclass or by properties used
    on instances of the class
    * All property statistics and some class statistics are updated
    every hour

    == View Wikidata entities ==

    The goal was to have a page for every property and every class, but we
    ended up having a generic data browser that can show all (live) data +
    some additional data for classes and properties (this is our main goal,
    but the other data is often helpful to understand the context). The UI
    is modelled after Reasonator as the quasi-standard of how Wikidata
    should look, but if you look beyond the surface you can see many
    differences in what SQID will (or will not) display.

    Examples:
    * Dresden, a plain item with a lot of data:
    http://tools.wmflabs.org/sqid/#/view?id=Q1731
    * Volcano, a class with many subclasses:
    http://tools.wmflabs.org/sqid/#/view?id=Q8072
    * sex or gender, a frequently used property:
    http://tools.wmflabs.org/sqid/#/view?id=P21

    Notable features:
    * Fast display
    * All statement data with all qualifiers shown
    * Extra statistical and live query data embedded

    == General Wikidata statistics ==

    As a minor feature, we also publish statistics on the weekly full
    Wikidata dump (which we process to get some of the statistics):

    http://tools.wmflabs.org/sqid/#/status

    Don't trust the main page -- find out how many entities there really
    are ;-)


    == Plans, todos, feedback, contributions ==

    We are on github, so please make feature requests and bug reports there:

    https://github.com/Wikidata/WikidataClassBrowser/issues

    Pull requests are welcome too.

    Known limitations of the current version:

    * Data update still a bit shaky. We refresh most statistical data every
    hour (entity data is live anyway), but you may not see this unless you
    clear your browser cache. This will be easier in the future.
    * Entity data browser does not show sitelinks and references yet.
    * Incoming properties not shown yet on entity pages
    * I18N not complete yet (if you would like to try the current dev
    status, see, e.g.: http://tools.wmflabs.org/sqid/#/view?id=Q318&lang=de)

    Moreover, we are also planning to integrate more data displays, better
    live statistics, and editing capabilities. Developers who want to help
    there are welcome. SQID can also be a platform for other data display
    ideas (it's built using AngularJS, so integration is easy).

    == And what about Miga? ==

    The old Miga-based app at
    http://tools.wmflabs.org/wikidata-exports/miga/ will be retired in due
    course. Please update your links.

    == Credits ==

    I have had important development support from Markus Damm, Michael
    Günther and Georg Wild. We are funded by the German Research Foundation
    DFG. All of us are at TU Dresden. Complex statistics are computed with
    Wikidata Toolkit. Live query results come from the Wikidata SPARQL Query
    Service.

    Enjoy,

    Markus
