Thanks for an early response. @Magnus: I was able to get the json of the items. Still thanks. However, my exact problem is the following.
I had downloaded the wikidata dump from http://dumps.wikimedia.org/wikidatawiki/latest/ There is a file wikidatawiki-20140420-pages-articles-multistream-index which consists of triplets like: 537:114:Q17 which I interpreted as following: 537 - category of the topic (which I am unable to find. I want the details of this item) 114 - page_id of the item Q17. Q17 - which is the item. (JSON: https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Special:EntityData/Q17.json) I want to know whether my interpretation is correct. If it is correct, how can I get the details abt the category 537. If my interpretation is incorrect, how can I get the wikidata category to which an item belongs to? Thanks and Regards!
