Updated version of the wikipedia-provenance tool to generate provenance of wikipedia history pages.
The tool supports two forms of usage:
- via the command line to generate provenance as RDF, or store in a neo4j backend
- via a GUI to store and query a neo4j backend

usage: wiki2prov
-d <arg> depth
-diff diff: Evalaute diff between revisions (requires GNU

java -jar target/wikipedia-provenance-0.0.6-jar-with-dependencies.jar -p Manchester -r 4
An example using Neo4j as the data store (at the default address of http://localhost:7474)
java -jar target/wikipedia-provenance-0.0.6-jar-with-dependencies.jar -p Amsterdam -neo4j -r 4
