How can I help push this along ?
After playing with the service more, I realized that we could allow some cool integration directly in OpenRefine and with reconciling ... if only the SPARQL Query service had FTS.
I want and need to be able to do this:
SELECT ?item ?itemLabel ?_image
WHERE
{
?item wdt:P178 wd:"infocom".
SERVICE wikibase:label { bd:serviceParam wikibase:language "en". }
OPTIONAL { ?item wdt:P18 ?_image. }
}
