Re: [Wikidata-l] Wikidata Toolkit 0.2.0 released

Excellent work Markus. Your tools are helping me to debunk bad science the world over[1]. Keep up the great work.

Max PS. By the way, if you do stack overflow you may want to chime in on this purpose-built question[2].

This release fixes bugs and improves features of the first release (download, parse, process Wikidata exports) and it adds new components for serializing JSON and RDF exports for Wikidata. A separate announcement regarding the RDF exports will be sent shortly. Maven users can get the library directly from Maven Central (see [1]); this is the preferred method of installation. There is also an all-in-one JAR at github [2] and of course the sources [3]. Version 0.2.0 is still in alpha. For the next release, we will focus on the following tasks: * Faster loading of Wikibase dumps + support for the new JSON format that will be used in the dumps soon * Support for storing and querying data after loading it * Initial steps towards storing data in a binary format after loading it Feedback is welcome. Developers are also invited to contribute via github.
