Weso software tool

Weso, specifically the wdsub project, is an open-source software tool designed for subsetting Wikidata using Shape Expressions (ShEx). It originated within the University of Oviedo's research ecosystem in Spain, primarily developed to process large datasets and extract specific entities for semantic web applications. As an open-source repository hosted on GitHub, its 'manufacturing' or development occurs globally through community contributions and academic research facilities. The brand is deeply connected to the WESO Research Group (Web Semantics Oviedo), which specializes in web technologies and semantic interoperability. Today, it remains a critical utility for data scientists and researchers working with Linked Open Data environments.
