Hi Fariz,

This is simply marvelous… 

The JSON serialization returns just the WB P and value which may take less effort to extract value for what we need at the moment. TTL returns so much more info which we should be able to do more at a later time.

Very exciting. Thank you so very much!

Hello Jackie,

not necessarily an answer, but you could get description/statements of Q#
via: https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Special:EntityData/Q#.ttl

So, for instance, the (turtle syntax) statements of Indonesia would be:
https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Special:EntityData/Q252.ttl

Fariz

Hi,

I am extremely new to SPARQL and have yet to find how I could feed a file
containing a series of Q item numbers in order to extract statements for
our needs.

I suspect some of you may have succeeded in this. Would you recommend an
API tool (or combination of tools) to use to extract all statements from a
file that contains a series of Q item number? I must preface to say that I
am a metadata person not a software developer.

Thank you very much for any pointers!

With regards,
