Hi,
I have encountered a problem with federating Wikidata entities with LOD based on the abundant external resource "literal identifiers" that are represented in Wikidata. An external resource identifier should include the entire IRI to the resource, not just the "id", otherwise the external resource cannot be federated in a SPARQL query without concatenating the IRI to the literal identifier and binding to a new variable.
I think that Wikidata properties that expect explicit Identifiers in the range should thus be defined as "object properties" rather than "datatype properties". The javascript id linking gadget in the UI also typically borks the link when a IRI is inputted as an identifier making it less likely for people to do it properly. I assume that this is a "policy" that was established for bot id imports, that unfortunately has produced a lot of "not so useful" data.
The triple pattern fragment implementation that I am working with does not allow bind grouping in the sparql query, so this unfortunately makes federation of Wikidata entities by Identifiers nearly impossible. Hence, the only federation that I have been able to do effectively is "to" Wikidata not "from" it....
If anyone is interested, I have setup Wikidata as a TPF datasource here:
