Hello all,
I'm thinking of setting up an installation of Wikibase here at my work to allow
folks to store data about things that they work on.
Pretty regularly I am tasked with the creation of databases and interfaces for
those databases and I suspect that doing this will save me time, make things
easier for all of my users, and plus we get revision control for free.
I know how to use the Wikidata API to query for information on an individual
Wikidata item, but if I want to perform the equivalent of a SELECT statement
on a number of Wikidata items (for example to get a list of all items with
a particular Instance Of value), how would I go about that?
So far it's looking like I am going to need to install the Wikibase Query
Engine and the Ask library?

Any help would be appreciated, it looks like Wikibase documentation for reusers
is not terribly great yet. After I set things up I'm happy to write a post
on my website and create a page on
Mediawiki.org to serve as a walkthrough for
future users.
Thank you,
