Hi Navino!
Thank you for your awesome work!
Since this has caused some confusion again recently, I want to caution you about a major gotcha regarding dates in RDF and JSON: they use different conventions to represent years BCE. I just updated our JSON spec to reflect that reality, see https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Wikibase/DataModel/JSON#time.
There is a lot of confusion about this issue throughout the linked data web, since the convention changed between XSL 1.0 (which uses -0044 to represent 44 BCE, and -0001 to represent 1 BCE) and XSL 1.1 (which uses -0043 to represent 44 BCE, and +0000 to represent 1 BCE). Our JSON uses the traditional numbering (1 BCE is -0001), while RDF uses the astronomical numbering (1 BCE is +0000).
Yay, fun.
