         | I am mentioning Wikidata/SPARQL in README (TL;DR: less data
         | still, harder to discover unless you are deeply into SemWeb
         | tech), but I expect this project, will it live long (fingers
         | crossed) will definitely has some relations with Wikidata, too.
         | My previous attempt on something similar:
         | https://github.com/molybdenum-99/reality -- used both Wikipedia
         | and Wikidata (and OpenStreetMap and...) but however cool were
         | few demos I managed too achieve, it was a dead end for several
         | reasons.

       | That would be really useful.
