Tool of the week

   the Wikidata Query Service without having to know SPARQL. Simply use a
   couple of autocomplete input boxes and you can do most basic queries.

   Masks <https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:Lexical_Masks> in ShEx to
   validate lexemes, including a first set of example schemata. They also
   invite everyone to work on more languages, and will keep adding more ShEx
