Hi all!
As part of the WDQS Graph Split project,[1] we have new SPARQL endpoints
available for serving the “main”[2] and “scholarly”[3] subgraphs of
Wikidata.
As you might be aware we are addressing the Wikidata Query Service
stability and scaling issues. We have been working on several projects to
address these issues. This announcement is about one of them, the WDQS
Graph Split.[1] This change will have an impact on certain uses of the
Wikidata Query Service.
We are now entering a transition period until the end of February 2025. The
three SPARQL endpoints will remain in place until the end of the
transition. At the end of the transition, query.wikidata.org will serve the
main Wikidata subgraph (without scholarly articles). The query-main and
query-scholarly endpoints will continue to be available after the
transition.
If you know to want more this change, please refer to the talk page on
Wikidata.[4]
Have fun!
Guillaume
