FWIW, put me in the camp of "people who want to see wikidata available via RDF" as well. I won't argue that RDF needs to be the*native* format for Wikidata, but I think it would be a crying shame for such a large knowledgebase to be cut off from seamless integration with the rest of the LinkedData world.
That said, I don't really care if RDF/SPARQL support come later and are treated as an "add on", but I do think Wikidata should at least have that as a goal for "eventually". And if I can help make that happen, I'll try to pitch in however I can. I have some experiments I'm doing now, working on some new approaches to scaling RDF triplestores, so using the Wikidata data may be an interesting testbed for that down the road.
And on a related note - and apologies if this has been discussed to death, but I haven't been on the list since the beginning - but I am curious if there is any formal collaboration (in-place|proposed|possible) between dbpedia and wikidata?
Help with this would be awesome and totally welcome. The tracking bug is athttps://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=48143
Lydia,
Linked Open Data URIs for tracking issues such as the one above:
[1] http://linkeddata.uriburner.com/about/id/entity/https/bugzilla.wikimedia.org... [2] http://bit.ly/vapour-report-sample-wikidata-issue-tracking-entity-http-uri -- vapour report on the Linked Data URI above [3] http://linkeddata.uriburner.com/c/9BTVWIGG -- use of #this to make a Linked Open Data URI "on the fly" (no owl:sameAs reasoning and inference applied) [4] http://linkeddata.uriburner.com/c/8GUIAJ -- ditto, but with owl:sameAs reasoning and inference applied.
Since this mailing list is online, I can also add some RDF statements into this post. Basically, this turns said post (or any other such conversation) into a live Linked Open Data creation and publication mechanism, by way of nanotation [1].
