FWIW, I have implemented a query-able stand-alone web server that keeps all
of the wikidata property-item-links in memory. This uses the wikidata dumps
which appear to be rather frequent. I'll try do deploy a test version on
wikilabs (once I figure out how all that works); it seems to be more
favourable to such services than the toolserver.
