Does anybody reads replies to this particular account?
We did already work on federating wikidata, talked about it e.g. at Public Spaces AMS or Fediday B …
Can we come together or should I somehow send the code?

@sl007
Please share pointers to what you did re Wikidata federation.

@EvoMRI @wikidata @maxlath

The background is that we intend to consume wikibase and wikidata in 4 federated ActivityPub clients, e.g.
redaktor (CMS), taxiteam (FCK uber), menschys (mutual help).

For example, for taxiteam we created a huge administrative-hierarchical Collection of all the Places and combine it with OSM & geohash down to building level.

So, yet I did ask myself how to transform wikidata to a nice representation of ActivityVocabulary.
I did put the excerpts in a gist
https://gist.github.com/sebilasse/670f0a5821d12bd36a0d68eab2fc85b0 a while ago.
Some things might have improved :)

The motivation was yet that it should be able to federate qualified statements but in a way that existing fediverse software can consume it but can be reversable after Updates to commit them.

The problem is that the hosts of the wikimedia foundations are the point of trust. It would be a dream to federate them an just btw, my opinion is that the EU should fund this https://digitalcourage.social/@sl007/114404049882394010 like @sovtechfund did recently fund OSM.

Anyway, happy to help!

PS forgot one import, Quantity is a cache ot all the Quantities and Units together with converters from the wikidata.

The benefits for the fediverse would be so great, alone all the multilanguage data might give ActivityPubs "Natural Language" a big boost.
