*Tool of the week*

- Nemo https://tools.iccl.inf.tu-dresden.de/nemo/ is a new Wikidata query tool by User:Markus Krötzsch https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/User:Markus_Kr%C3%B6tzsch the tool can answer queries, extracts subsets, and perform analyses in ways that SPARQL alone can't. It also lets you combine Wikidata with other data sources.
