However, when #Wikidata emerged, I wanted to connect my database with it. Before two years, I tried to store SMW in #Blazegraph but I made a bad experience with it. When the power went off, it led to fatal error and problem to boot.

Two months ago, I tried a second attempt, with #Virtuoso for this time. It runs without problems.

Now, I can make #sparql queries, however it is quite complicated, e.g. to query properties and pages with longer string names.

Now available for download, the 2023-04-23 #Blazegraph dump for #Wikidata Query Service. Use to bootstrap your own local copy of WDQS. https://datasets.scatter.red/orb/

#Wikidata Query Service #Blazegraph dump now available to download, free of charge (344 GB compressed; over 1 TB decompressed).

Wrapping up this thread with a new #blog post: "Deploying #Wikidata to different graph databases and what works best" #blazegraph #sparql #wikibase

The challenge here isn't going to be initial setup, as far as I can tell. The index build is in progress. It is going to be taking updater tech built for #Blazegraph and adapting it to #QLever. Which I suspect is possible, if both use #SPARQL, but I haven't actually tried it yet.

After successfully experimenting with and deploying #Blazegraph for #Wikidata querying I am now experimenting with #QLever which is like a breath of fresh air.

Eventually I would like to offer QLever as an experimental service alongside Blazegraph, eventually retiring Blazegraph.

Rebuilding #Wikidata in #Blazegraph was successful, as was uploading the 1 TB database file to cloud storage.

Now I am syncing the database with present day. Unlike last time, I am pretty sure I am actually pulling from Wikidata this time.

Rebuilding #Wikidata on #Blazegraph ...again... after a misconfigured updater caused data corruption. In parallel I am working on re-attempting Wikidata in #QEndpoint

Recommended system configuration to run a #Blazegraph instance loaded with #Wikidata –

* 2x 1 TB NVMe SSDs, formatted together as a single 2 TB volume
* 128 GB of RAM
* If your CPU can address 128 GB of RAM it's probably good enough

Successfully rebuilt #Blazegraph data.jnl from dump; now backing up my effort. (I may make such dumps available for download, since building #Wikidata from dump takes multiple days even on good hardware.)
