Finn - thank you; these are some interesting tools to look at, especially Synia.
To clarify, none of the tools in our proposed suite involve Semantic MediaWiki; though they may have been indirectly inspired by some of SMW's functionality.

Thanks for the pointers about the new work around Semantic MediaWiki and Wikibases. I have used Semantic MediaWiki and used the builtin query facility and they are very useful.
There are a few external tools for aggregation with Wikibases. Magnus has Literia that works on Wikidata to build tables with Wikidata information from SPARQL queries.
Scholia works currently only on Wikidata and has some drill down, e.g., machine learning in Denmark can be shown (or any other country-topic combination). https://scholia.toolforge.org/country/Q35/topic/Q2539
Synia, a Literia-Scholia inspired project can work with Wikibases. For instance, a "car model" aggregation is here: https://synia.toolforge.org/#carmodel and an overview of language is here: https://synia.toolforge.org/#language

Hello,
We at the consulting company WikiWorks are neither Wikibase users nor developers (other than having created some tools around SPARQL queries), but we do think quite a lot about user interface relating to structured data, especially within MediaWiki. Recently, we have been thinking about how to improve the Wikibase interface, to get around its limitations - such as the lack of on-wiki queries. We realized that there are already tools that can help with some of these challenges, and other tools that it would be a good idea to create. We put all our thoughts together into one proposed suite, which we named "Enhanced Wikibase". You can read about it here:

Hopefully these ideas will be helpful to anyone trying to make their Wikibase installation easier to use. Any questions or comments are also welcome.
