Hi, just saw this. My API at http://208.80.153.172/api_documentation.html includes a taxon example, maybe that can help. It's fast too :-)

Cheers,
Magnus

Hey there!

I am writing my master thesis, an identification key for trees. A
preview is currently here:
http://ec2-54-234-76-44.compute-1.amazonaws.com/
(address may/will change).

The key (filter.php) can already be edited (editor.php), but without
history etc. Wikibase suits the requirements perfectly – you wrote it
just in time. Characters of trees are language independant,
descriptions are not; exactly what Wikibase does.


There is one point I need help with: I need a list of all
Questions/Characters/Taxa, i.e. pretty much a table dump, for the
editor (processing is all done with JavaScript). What way would you
suggest? \Wikibase\Store only returns Entities for known IDs, and I
have found no other function so far.

To distinguish between the different kinds of object (question,
character, etc.) I plan to use instance-of properties and make the IDs
of the used properties (instance-of, parent, …) and items (question,
character, taxon, …) configurable in the extension.

Greetings from Switzerland,
Simon
