Honestly, I haven't tried. Just so you know, I'm the developer of XOWA which is an offline wiki app in Java. As such, I'm accessing Wikidata data directly, not through the Wikibase code. (If you're curious, I also use it to recreate Wikidata locally as well. See: http://xowa.org/home/file/screenshot_wikidata.png) Going forward, I'll double-check that my Wikidata issues are not related to my not using Wikibase. Again, my thanks to you for clearing that up. > It's always cool to see that people use our data and our software! Yup. Wikidata is very cool in concept and in practice. It's amazing to have a single, multi-lingual, verifiable repository of facts / details -- all free and open-content. Kudos to you and your team for the excellent work!
