No. A global encyclopaedia might be global, but does not have to be imperialist, if the control over the content and the ability to contribute to the encyclopaedia is not limited t…

As planned, with our first scheduled weekly deployment, the JSON object is not being displayed anymore.

Sine the wiki hasn't been opened for editing yet, there is indeed only one function that has visible implementations (which was added for testing purposed): https://www.wikifunctio…

This particular work is mostly funded through a set of large restricted donations, not through the general funds.

exactly that! I have a design mockup that is quite similar to that.

Thanks, that's really helpful to read! The page is still in a very early stage. You are right, the current object section is just confusing, we will remove it. Maybe a better start…

I have a half hour YouTube video on that topic, maybe you'll find it interesting, but likely too long: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WqYBx2gB6vA

Thank you for the follow up. I updated my post a little, mostly with a link to this discussion, as it contains and explanation of the query, and now also links to tutorial. I agree…

Sounds a lot like DBpedia to me

Wikidata's API doesn't require registration, credentials, etc.

There are plenty of Wikidata users who have learned some SPARQL without being programmers.

Thank you. I am the author of the post, and appreciate your comments, and I agree with them. I have to say that it indeed wasn't my intention to show how to get to the query - that…

I found that work very interesting. So I downloaded the data by OP (thanks for publishing it!) and compared it with Wikidata. The results are here: http://simia.net/wiki/Main_Page
