Hi Lydia,
Thanks for getting back to us on this.
We would like to set up a complete replica of wikidata, including all its components,
wikibase, GUI, triple store, etc. The reason we want to do this is that we want to run
experiments of how we can extend wikidata with statistical data from census, FBI, NOAA,
etc, which are sources that provide interesting data about entities already existing in
wikidata. We need to develop new properties and classes and before we engage in a
community discussion, we want to prototype it internally so we can try out different
approaches.
We know how to do the extensions in the triple store, i.e., write our robots/data
ingestors to create triples in the triple store, but we rather write wikidata robots.
One possibility could be to set up an empty Wikibase in our end, populate it with the
statistical data, and then import the triples into our installation of wikidata that
contains all the wikidata triples.
If you have suggestions, please let us know.
Pedro

Hello developers at WikiData,
This is Ke from Information Sciences Institute of USC. We find WikiData really easy to
use, and it may be a great help to our research.
That's really great to hear.
Thus we want to keep a whole copy of your
services locally. But here’re some problems. Hope you can address these for us.
First, we need to upload our own data, so that we need the whole services from you. How
can we download and implement the whole bundle including GUI, Triple Store, WikiBase and
ES as well.
Have you tried the Docker image already?
Second, we found you provided an API
(
https://github.com/filbertkm/WikibaseImport) to load data from
Wikidata.org. But it seems
the script queries one item once and upload it into our WikiBase. It’s really time
consuming. So that do you provide any method to load the dumps and upload them into our
WikiBase (not Triple Store)? Also, we want our database auto updated with yours.
That's currently unfortunately not possible or well supported. Can you
tell us a bit more about what you are doing and what you want to do?
Then we can better help you get to a working solution.
Cheers
Lydia
