Hi all,
With a couple of students we are working on various topics relating to
the dynamics of RDF and Wikidata. The public dumps in RDF cover the past
couple of months:
https://dumps.wikimedia.org/wikidatawiki/entities/
I'm wondering is there a way to get access to older dumps or perhaps
generate them from available data? We've been collecting dumps but it
seems we have a gap for a dump on 2017/07/04 right in the middle of our
collection. :) (If anyone has a copy of the truthy data for that
particular month, I would be very grateful if they can reach out.)
In general, I think it would be fantastic to have a way to access all
historical dumps. In particular, datasets might be used in papers and
for reproducibility purposes it would be lift a burden from the authors
to be able to link (rather than having to host) the data used. I am not
sure if such an archive is feasible or not though.
Thanks,
Aidan
