Tool of the week

• Wikidata Toolkit The Wikidata Toolkit is an open-source Java library for using data from Wikidata and other Wikibase sites. Its main goal is to make it easy for external developers to take advantage of this data in their own applications.

Other Noteworthy Stuff

• A discussion on Meta about a very delicate issue for the development of Abstract Wikipedia is now open: where to store the abstract content that will be developed through functions from Wikifunctions and data from Wikidata. Some of the hypothesis involve Wikidata. You can read the various hypothesis and have your say at Abstract Wikipedia/Location of Abstract Content.
