Choice of SPARQL endpoint

This tool uses the QLever Wikidata SPARQL endpoint to detect if a DOI is missing in Wikidata. The endpoint is currently updated weekly from the official Wikidata dumps.

The QLever endpoint was chosen because it is faster and more reliable than current available alternatives, see https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:SPARQL_query_service/WDQS_backend_update/WDQS_backend_alternatives#A_performance_evaluation_of_QLever,_Virtuoso,_Blazegraph,_GraphDB,_Stardog,_Jena,_and_Oxigraph.
