Wikidata to SurrealDB

A tool for converting Wikidata dumps to a SurrealDB database. Either From a bz2 or json file.

The surrealdb database is ~2.6GB uncompressed or 0.5GB compressed, while the bz2 file is ~80GB, gzip file is ~130GB, and the uncompressed json file is over 1TB.

Building the database on a 7600k takes ~55 hours, using ThreadedSingle, using a cpu with more cores should be faster.

docker attach wikidata-to-surrealdb

Example .env

DB_USER=root
DB_PASSWORD=root
WIKIDATA_LANG=en
WIKIDATA_FILE_FORMAT=bz2
WIKIDATA_FILE_NAME=data/latest-all.json.bz2
# If not using docker file for Wikidata to SurrealDB, use 0.0.0.0:8000
WIKIDATA_DB_PORT=surrealdb:8000
# true=overwrite existing data, false=skip if already exists
OVERWRITE_DB=false
CREATE_MODE=ThreadedSingle

Env string CREATE_MODE must be in the enum CreateMode

pub enum CreateMode {
    Single,
    ThreadedSingle,
    ThreadedBulk, // Buggy
}

Table Schema

SurrealDB Thing

pub struct Thing {
    pub table: String,
    pub id: Id, // i64
}

Tables: Entity, Property, Lexeme

pub struct EntityMini {
    pub id: Option<Thing>,
    pub label: String,
     // Claims Table
    pub claims: Thing,
    pub description: String,
}

Table: Claims

pub struct Claim {
    pub id: Thing,
    pub value: ClaimData,
}

ClaimData

pub enum ClaimData {
    // Entity, Property, Lexeme Tables
    Thing(Thing), 
    ClaimValueData(ClaimValueData),
}
