It includes many helpful topics for knowledge exploration and data science applications. However, due to the enormous size of Wikidata, it is challenging to retrieve a large amount of data with millions of results, make complex queries requiring large aggregation operations, or access too many statement references. This paper introduces our preliminary works on Wikidata-lite, a toolkit to build a database offline for knowledge extraction and exploration, e.g., retrieving item information, statements, provenances, or searching entities by their keywords and attributes. Wikidata-lite has high performance and memory efficiency, much faster than the official Wikidata SPARQL endpoint for big queries.
