As part of the research on understanding Wikidata queries [1], Markus et al. are interested to release a dataset that can empower the researchers, community members (editor and developer communities) to build on top of their learnings. This is aligned and heavily encourage by Research given our Open Access Policy [2].
To this end, Markus has written an initial proposal for us to get started on investigating the possibility of such a release and the specifics of what data we're talking about. We can follow a step by step process similar to an earlier investigation we did for releasing pageview traces [3].
The current list of steps are as follows:
[x] [Stas] Please review the proposal [4] and provide feedback on the Discussion page. Ping Leila once you're done.
[ ] [Leila] Review the proposal and Stas' comment. Determin the next steps.
Timeline: Let's aim for having a Yes/No decision no later than early March 2018.
