Hi all,
I am happy to announce the release of Wikidata Toolkit 0.4.0 [1], the Java
library for programming with Wikidata and Wikibase. The main new features
are:
* Full support of a variety of new Wikidata features (including statements
on properties and new datatypes)
* More robust JSON parsing so as to tolerate bugs in the JSON structure
* Several new utilities to copy and filter data
* A new stand-alone command-line client to process the Wikidata dumps
without actually writing your own Java program [2]. The current main use of
this is to generate custom RDF dumps (we use it for the dumps we publish),
but it can also be extended with other processing actions in the future.
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 [3] and of course the sources [4].
Feedback is very welcome. Developers are also invited to contribute via
github.
Congrats, Markus and everyone else who helped with this release.
Looking forward to seeing what people will do with it.
Cheers
Lydia
