"guile-wikidata" looks cool!  And I'm glad to see you've added SPARQL 
support as well.  It would be great to integrate it with "guile-sparql" 
if you find the time for it.  The "guile-sparql" code is quite short, 
and hopefully readable enough.. :)

I've been working on a web interface to work with RDF/SPARQL (written 
mostly in Guile Scheme, which uses "guile-sparql" as well).  You might 
find it interesting:

The Guile Scheme parts are in the "web" subfolder.

Kind regards,
