Hoi, What is the relevance of these tools when you have to have specialised environments to use them ?

Hi Gerard. On 09/04/14 10:54, Gerard Meijssen wrote: Hoi, What is the relevance of these tools when you have to have specialised environments to use them ? Not sure what you mean. Wikidata Toolkit doesn't have any requirements other than plain old Java to run. Nevertheless, we'd also like to support people who are using some of the common Java development tools that are around, especially the free ones. Currently, we only have instructions for Eclipse users, but we could extend this. Which tools do you normally use to develop Java?

Hi Markus, On Wed Apr 09 2014 at 4:18:50 AM, Markus Krötzsch mar...@semantic-mediawiki.org wrote: Change to the directory of the example module (wdtk-examples), then run: mvn exec:java -Dexec.mainClass=org.wikidata.wdtk.examples.DumpProcessingExample Thanks, that is exactly what I needed! :) I understand that WDTK is a library to be used in your own applications, but I am often not patient enough to actually go and code up a whole app myself in a new dev environment before I actually see that the thing is running. So being able to actually start and run the example application is superuseful for my motivation, because now I can go ahead and tinker with it while it is running, and iteratively change it to what I want. Thanks again for the prompt and useful answer! It works like a charm now!

Congratulations, Markus!! Thanks so much for developing these digital tools.

This initial release can download and parse Wikidata dump files for you, so as to process all Wikidata content in a streaming fashion. An example program is provided [2]. The libary can also be used with MediaWiki dumps generated by other Wikibase installations (if you happen to work in EAGLE ;-). Maven users can get the library directly from Maven Central (see [1]); this is the preferred method of installation. There is also an all-in-one JAR at github [3] and of course the sources [4]. Version 0.1.0 is of course alpha, but the code that we have is already well-tested and well-documented. Improvements that are planned for the next release include: * Faster and more robust loading of Wikibase dumps * Support for various serialization formats, such as JSON and RDF * Initial support for Wikibase API access Nevertheless, you can already give it a try now. In later releases, it is also planned to support more advanced processing after loading, especially for storing and querying the data. Feedback is welcome. Developers are also invited to contribute via github. Congrats, Markus! Great to see a first release. Want to post something on Wikidata:Project chat too?
