Is there an elegant way to get data out of wikidata in a format that you can then fill back into another Wikibase without the pain of such conversions (like splitting coordinates, changing columns, changing the prefixes...)

It would probably be easier for you to get longitude and latitude separately, but if I understand correctly the SPARQL query is not the most straightforward: https://w.wiki/7ny

Cheers,
