page. We are now focusing on the suggesters for language and lexical
category so editors can select the right Item for them.
- Data Reuse Days: We ran sessions on how to use Wikidata's data
programmatically and the best practices around it. Slides and videos are
available already (see above).
- REST API: Continuing coding on the basic version of the GET Item
endpoint. We have the very initial version of the get item endpoint ready
and are now adding more parameters to it.
