[Wikidata-l] Wikidata RDF

2014-10-27 Thread Martynas Jusevičius
Hey all, so I see there is some work being done on mapping Wikidata data model to RDF [1]. Just a thought: what if you actually used RDF and Wikidata's concepts modeled in it right from the start? And used standard RDF tools, APIs, query language (SPARQL) instead of building the whole thing from

Re: [Wikidata-l] How are queries doing?

2013-11-29 Thread Martynas Jusevičius
Jan, my suspicion is that my predictions from last year hold true: it is a far more complex task to design a scalable and performant data model, query language and/or query engine solely for Wikidata than the designers of this project anticipated - unless they did anticipate and now knowingly fail

There was a long discussion not so long ago about using established RDF tools for Wikipedia dumps instead of home-brewed ones, but I guess someone hasn't learnt the lesson yet. On Thu, Sep 26, 2013 at 2:22 PM, Kingsley Idehen wrote: > All, > > See: https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q76 > > The resour

Yes, that is one of the reasons functional languages are getting popular: https://www.fpcomplete.com/blog/2012/04/the-downfall-of-imperative-programming With PHP and JavaScript being the most widespread (and still misused) languages we will not get there soon, however. On Mon, Jul 8, 2013 at 10:57

2013-07-08 Thread Martynas Jusevičius
Here's my approach to software code problems: we need less of it, not more. We need to remove domain logic from source code and move it into data, which can be managed and on which UI can be built. In that way we can build generic scalable software agents. That is the way to Semantic Web. Martynas

Hey wikidatians, occasionally checking threads in this list like the current one, I get a mixed feeling: on one hand, it is sad to see the efforts and resources waisted as Wikidata tries to reinvent RDF, and now also triplestore design as well as XSD datatypes. What's next, WikiQL instead of SPARQ

Denny, the statement-level of granularity you're describing is achieved by RDF reification. You describe it however as a "deprecated mechanism" of provenance, without backing it up. Why do you think there must be a better mechanism? Maybe you should take another look at reification, or lower your

John, I pretty much second your concerns. Do you know Edge Side Includes (ESI)? I was thinking about using them with XSLT and Varnish to compose pages from remote XHTML fragments. Regarding scalability -- I can only see those possible cases: either Wikidata will not have any query language, or i
