RDF binding

Wikibase allows exporting data in RDF format. See details of the implementation in RDF Dump Format

Changes to the RDF mapping are however subject to the Stable Interface Policy, see Wikidata:Stable Interface Policy.

Exporting RDF

Export RDF data from a Wikibase Repository is done with the maintenance script repo/maintenance/dumpRdf.php

By executing the following the Repository contents will be output to the console in RDF format.

$ php extensions/Wikibase/repo/maintenance/dumpRdf.php
Dumping entities of type item, property
Dumping shard 0/1
