- flanked-evergl 4y agoWiki Data runs a sparql endpoint and I think this integrates with Wikipedia. Not the most popular thing in the world but it is not fringe technology.
- debarshri 4y agoTrue!
- riku_iki 4y agoand do we know how many people use SPARQL for querying wikidata?..
- obi1kenobi 4y agoFWIW, I've genuinely spent time trying to use it, and I've never managed to run any non-trivial query on it without having it time out. SPARQL is very expressive, but its implementations seem impossible to optimize and as a result impossible to use because they have to be locked down so tight.
