The machine readable description of Wikidata dumps in DCAT-AP is only provided as RDF/XML and poorly documented, limiting its usefulness. Please automatically import the RDF file into Wikidata Query Service so we can get a list of current dumps for instance with This SPARQL query:
PREFIX dcat: <http://www.w3.org/ns/dcat#>
PREFIX dct: <http://purl.org/dc/terms/>
SELECT ?url ?date ?size WHERE {
<https://www.wikidata.org/about#catalog> dcat:dataset ?dump .
?dump dcat:distribution [
dct:format "application/json" ;
dcat:downloadURL ?url ;
dct:issued ?date ;
dcat:byteSize ?size
] .
}The only open question is whether to keep information about dumps removed from https://dumps.wikimedia.org/wikidatawiki/entities/. I don't this so but DCAT information from other dump hosters such as Internet Archive (see their list of Wikdata dumps should be included as well.
