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
Hi Simon,
Sorry for having let this sit so long.

If I understood what you want to do correctly then this is not possible yet. You'll have to work on the database dumps. More info on these are at http://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:Database_download

While do don't support this directly yet, there apparently is a tool that lets you do this kind of queries:
https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:Tools#WikiData_query
Perhaps try it and let us know how it works for you!

Thanks for your answers!
When I started looking into Wikibase, I also found the query tool and other nice tools. But no sources, so they did not really help me in terms of development ;) @Magnus that's nice; are you running a direct SQL call for claim[property:item]?
At the meantime I have solved it such that I simply run through all items Q1 to Q100 and parse them in case they are of the right instance (and exist). Works fine for now, performance comes later :) Now I am working on getting my data into Wikibase automatically.
Simon

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