True, WDQS does not have versions. But each time the edit is made, we now have to download and work through the whole 2M... It wasn't a problem when we were dealing with regular-sized entities, but current system certainly is not good for such giant ones. As for decentralizing, WDQS supports federation, but for obvious reasons federated queries are slower and less efficient. That said, if there were separate store for such kind of data, it might work as cross-querying against other Wikidata data wouldn't be very frequent. But this is something that Wikidata community needs to figure out how to do. -- Stas Malyshev smalys...@wikimedia.org _______________________________________________ Wikidata mailing list Wikidata@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikidata
