A Wikibase-port with Support for RDF 1.2 [C. Debruyne]

This thesis proposes a Wikibase port that supports RDF 1.2 by integrating a triplestore that natively provides RDF 1.2 features and querying capabilities. The goal is to adapt Wikibase’s storage and export pipeline so that RDF serialization and SPARQL access are grounded in an RDF 1.2–compliant backend rather than legacy assumptions. In addition to the integration work, the student will propose and justify a mapping from Wikibase’s data model (items, statements, qualifiers, references, and ranks) to RDF 1.2, ensuring faithful semantics and practical interoperability, and will validate the approach through benchmarks and/or representative use cases.
