Inspira Wikipedia

Databases built from Wikipedia and Wikidata for the Inspira app (https://github.com/x1watt/inspira), in the zx database format (https://github.com/x1watt/zx). They are queried in place: the app's web version reads only the byte ranges a question needs, so nothing is downloaded whole.

Files

File	What
en_mini.zx	English Wikipedia (Kiwix "mini" dump): pages with their lead and kind, dated facts, infobox rows, the link graph, redirects, a table of dated facts by calendar day
geo.zx	Wikidata places: a point for each item with an article in en, pt, de, es, fr or it, with the way it was found; places of birth, death and burial; types; dates; article titles
en_places.zx	The map: about a million English articles with a point (events, castles, churches, museums, monuments, other buildings, nature, towns), keyed by map tile and ranked by how well known they are; the leads of the articles en_mini.zx lacks
en_links.zx	The External links of about 2.3 million English articles, as Wikipedia lists them (from the wikitext dump), else the official website of the article's Wikidata item, keyed by article
*.parts	zx part manifests (size and SHA-256 of each file), the URLs the app opens

Read one with the zx command line tool, after downloading it:

zx sql en_mini.zx "SELECT title, kind FROM page_meta WHERE title = 'Battle of Hastings' COLLATE NOCASE"

or in place over HTTP with the zx web engine (url with the manifest's URL, then db.open and db.sql).

How they are built: tool/wikizx and docs/plan-offline-wikipedia.md, docs/plan-geofill.md in the Inspira repository.
