Hello all!
After a brief period for final comments (thanks everyone for your input!), the
Stable Interface Policy is now official. You can read it here:
<https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:Stable_Interface_Policy>
This policy is intended to give authors of software that accesses Wikidata a
guide to what interfaces and formats they can rely on, and which things can
change without warning.
The policy is a statement of intent given by us, the Wikidata development team,
regarding the software running on the site. It does not apply to any content
maintained by the Wikidata community.

Hello all,
repeated discussions about what constitutes a breaking change has prompted us,
the Wikidata development team, to draft a policy on interface stability. The
policy is intended to clearly define what kind of change will be announced when
and where.
A draft of the policy can be found at
<https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:Stable_Interface_Policy>
Please comment on the talk page.
Note that this policy is not about the content of the Wikidata site, it's a
commitment by the development team regarding the behavior of the software
running on wikidata.org. It is intended as a reference for bot authors, data
consumers, and other users of our APIs.
We plan to announce this as the development team's official policy on Monday,
August 22.

Dear all,
I hereby announce the release of Wikidata Toolkit 0.7.0 [1], the Java
library for programming with Wikidata and Wikibase.
This is a maintenance release that implements several fixes to ensure
that WDTK can be used with recent Wikidata API outputs and future
Wikidata JSON dumps.
The new version also ships the code used to generate the basic
statistics used in the back of the SQID Wikidata Browser [2].
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] and updated
JavaDocs [5].
As usual, feedback is welcome. Developers are also invited to contribute
via github.
Cheers,
Markus

Hi,
I'm trying to find Wikidata items based on label as follows:
> SELECT ?item ?itemLabel WHERE
> {
> ?item rdfs:label ?itemLabel
> FILTER(CONTAINS(LCASE(?itemLabel),"*keyword*")).
> }
> limit 3
However, for some cases, the following error returns n some cases
Query deadline is expired.
I mean it works well for some words but fails with others. Could anyone
help please?
