FWIW, put me in the camp of "people who want to
see wikidata available
via RDF" as well. I won't argue that RDF needs to be the *native*
format for Wikidata, but I think it would be a crying shame for such a
large knowledgebase to be cut off from seamless integration with the
rest of the LinkedData world.
That said, I don't really care if RDF/SPARQL support come later and
are treated as an "add on", but I do think Wikidata should at least
have that as a goal for "eventually". And if I can help make that
happen, I'll try to pitch in however I can. I have some experiments
I'm doing now, working on some new approaches to scaling RDF
triplestores, so using the Wikidata data may be an interesting testbed
for that down the road.
And on a related note - and apologies if this has been discussed to
death, but I haven't been on the list since the beginning - but I am
curious if there is any formal collaboration
(in-place|proposed|possible) between dbpedia and wikidata?
Help with this would be awesome and totally welcome. The tracking bug
is at
