Hoi,
So how do I get to use this tool on Labs and what makes a job
computing-intensive. After all, I need to learn a tool first before I
know such distinctions..

 Wikidata Toolkit is a programming library. You use it to develop software, for example, a bot that corrects errors on Wikidata, or a tool that creates a world map from all items on Wikdiata. You could compare it to tools like pywikibot or the Java Wiki Bot Framework.

To learn how to use such tools, it is best to look at example programs, and to ask specific questions if you get stuck. It also helps to have a rough idea of what you want to achieve.

            Hoi,
            It reads like a lot of work went in there.. Congratulations.

            I understand that it uses the live data and that it can be
            using dumps
            of other installations :) Now how do I use it from Labs ?


        Labs has Java installed. You can just copy any Java application
        to your
        home directory there and run it. We are running a WDTK-based
        application
        on labs to generate the RDF exports, for example.


    P.S. For computing-intensive jobs, you should of course not run the
    application directly from your home but submit it as a job. I guess
    Labs users know about this. Most bot-like applications won't need
    too much resources (since they are network I/O bound), but one
    should be considerate about these things when using Labs.
