Hi Markus,

Great work!

One short question: Is there a way to switch to labels and descriptions in 
another language, by URL or otherwise?

Cheers, Joachim

> 
> 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.
