Bug #: 42063
Summary: Provide a linked data endpoint for accessing entities
Product: MediaWiki extensions
Version: unspecified
Platform: All
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: Unprioritized
Component: WikidataRepo
AssignedTo: wikidata-b...@lists.wikimedia.org
ReportedBy: daniel.kinz...@wikimedia.de
CC: wikibugs-l@lists.wikimedia.org,
wikidata-b...@lists.wikimedia.org
Classification: Unclassified
Mobile Platform: ---
In the spirit of the linked data web, entity URIs should resolve to a machine
readable representation of the respective entity. While the API and
Special:Export already provide access to this data, their output contains
wrapper structures and meta-information that does not belong to the entity
denoted by the URI.
To provide a machine readable representation of the entity, a special page
should be created that generates the canonical JSON representation for a given
entity. URL rewriting can then be used to make this special page accessible via
a canonical URI/URL schema, as described by
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikidata/Notes/URI_scheme#Machine-readable_access>.
The representation returned by the data endpoint should be consistent with the
representation used in the web API (no necessarily with the internal
representation, which is exposed by Special:Export and does not even need to be
JSON).
Care should be taken to allow caching of this data on the HTTP level, making
use of the appropriate Cache-Control, ETag and If-Modified-Since headers.
