Subject: [Wikidata-l] Wikidata Toolkit: key facts, roadmap, how to join
To: "Discussion list for the Wikidata project." <wikid...@lists.wikimedia.org>


Hi all,

The new Wikidata Toolkit project has started this week, so here is a
brief update. You are invited to participate and to comment. Early
users will enjoy a special first-level support: if you have an
interesting use-case for our project, we will help you get started and
prioritize your requirements.

Wikidata Toolkit is going to be a Java library to work with Wikidata
(and Wikibase in general). It will allow you to load, query, and
analyse the data, and to export it to a variety of formats.

Key facts:

* Homepage: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Wikidata_Toolkit
* Code: https://github.com/Wikidata/Wikidata-Toolkit
* Planned milestones:
https://github.com/Wikidata/Wikidata-Toolkit/issues/milestones
* Project plan (high level):
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:IEG/Wikidata_Toolkit

Our current team consists of four people: Fredo Erxleben, Julian
Mendez, Michael Günther, and myself. Development is supported by the
Wikimedia Foundation and by the German Research Foundation. The
project is initially planned for six months.

You are invited to contribute code/feature requests/use cases. If you
have a concrete task that you would like to solve, please let us know,
and we will see what we can do. Our first release 0.1 should be able
to create data exports in RDF and maybe in other formats from the
internal Wikidata dump files. If you need Wikidata in other formats,
please let us know.

Our later releases will be able to load data and add query
capabilities that allow you to analyse the data. Again, your
requirements are welcome.

Cheers,

Markus
