Hi, Based on a script by Marius Hoch (https://github.com/mariushoch/asparagus) I created a command line client to access Wikidata Query Service. The current release 0.2.0 includes the following features: * adding of default namespaces if needed * multiple output formats * abbreviate Wikidata URIs if requested * directly export to Excel (requires additional CPAN module) * fancy colors Usage Examples are given at https://github.com/nichtich/wdq#examples Bug reports and feature requests at https://github.com/nichtich/wdq/issues Pull requests are welcome if you know some Perl. By now its 300 LoC and ~200 documentation, the largest contribution would be a WDQ to SPARQL translator as implemented here: https://github.com/smalyshev/wdq2sparql Cheers Jakob -- Jakob Voß <jakob.voss(a)gbv.de> Verbundzentrale des GBV (VZG) / Common Library Network Platz der Goettinger Sieben 1, 37073 Göttingen, Germany +49 (0)551 39-10242, http://www.gbv.de/ _______________________________________________ Wikidata mailing list Wikidata(a)lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikidata
