## Output zip file instead of JSON-LD. --verbose also adds wikiasbase.jsonld to file

Disclaimer / Trivia

The wiki_as_base allows no-as-complete data extraction from MediaWiki markup text directly by its API or direct input, without need to install server extensions.

Check also the wikimedia/Wikibase, a full server version (which inspired the name).
