Hi Hady and everyone,

Wikidata is moving fast. They decided on RDF URIs and started to
export RDF in several formats. (Anja implemented much of this and told
me about it a few days ago. Thanks!) Example:

http://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Special:EntityData/q1.nt (Replace .nt by
.rdf or .json for other formats.)

URIs like http://www.wikidata.org/entity/Q1 cannot be dereferenced
yet, but I guess they will be in a few days:
https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/65463/

Andrea used the JSON from the Wikidata XML dumps to get the
inter-language links:
https://github.com/dbpedia/extraction-framework/pull/35 But Daniel
Kinzler (one of the main Wikidata developers) told me that this JSON
format is just an internal format that we proabably shouldn't use:
http://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/wikidata-l/2013-May/thread.html#2205
Daniel also said there are better ways to get the inter-language links
if that is all we need.

I see two main questions for us here:

1. Should we use DBpedia URIs like http://data.dbpedia.org/resource/Q1
or Wikidata URIs like http://www.wikidata.org/entity/Q1 ?
2. Should we wait for the Wikidata RDF dumps or try extracting data
from the existing JSON dumps?

I'd say:

1. use Wikidata URIs
2. wait for the RDF dumps. Or more precisely, ask the WIkidata people
for the latest guesstimates when the dumps may be available. If they
say it's going to take months, we'll have to consider a different
solution.

This may also mean that we currently don't need the ability to handle
different formats in the XML dumps at all - issue #38 may be obsolete.

Besides, I urge everyone involved to subscribe to
https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikidata-l (and maybe
https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikidata-tech as well).

Cheers,
Christopher
