Factor out a library for knowledge base use cases for the general public

[simonsan]

Do you think there might be some algorithms, data structures etc. that can be useful for the general public that you could factor out and publish on crates.io?

I would like to implement a smaller knowledge base as FLOSS (AGPL) in the future and thought about reusing some of your work.

Hi! Most of the algorithms here are very focused on knowledge base mapping and especially tailored to Wikidata. I'm not sure how much they could be reusable elsewhere.

For data structures, YAGO 4 builder only uses the usual std datastructures and RocksDB. So, most of the building blocks are already out there. The RDF formats parsers and serializers are also already on crates.io

Think it might make sense to do that nevertheless. So factoring out a lib.rs with a run() function and in main.rs you would just have everything regarding the executable config/setup. It would basically just mean to create a lib.rs that people can use and make a public API in it for using as a crate.
