Hi David,

Those are the ids of statements. They are formed using the statement's UUID, which typically uses the item id (sometimes with a lower-case "q") as its first part. However, the exact form of the IDs should not be used to find out what the thing is or which item it belongs to: all of this information is encoded in triples in the dump, and these should be used to find out if a URI refers to an item or a statement etc.

Cheers,

Markus

While playing with the dump, I came accross some entries like the following:

what does the `Q12258SCD97A47E-A0CA-453F-B01A-DEE8829139BF` stand for ?
