  3. wikidata-extraction

    Toolkit for converting Wikidata N-Triples dumps to Parquet files and extraction structured data.

    If people are interesting exploring artists from different countries, I built a tool a few month ago that uses wikidata und simple sql queries to get for example a random female artist from Germany: https://piebro.github.io/wikidata-extraction/random.html
