/**
 * This class demonstrates how to get access to information about sitelinks in
 * Wikidata.org. The data generally uses keys like "enwiki" to identify sites.
 * To find out what these keys mean, Wikidata Toolkit can be used to download
 * and process the dump of the MediaWiki sites table. The resulting
 * {@link Sites} object can be used to resolve links to other sites, and also
 * can be applied to {@link SiteLink} objects as found in the Wikidata data.
 * Other information obtained from the sites table includes the site language,
 * whether it is a MediaWiki site, and which group it has been assigned to. The
 * groups are used to define which sites can be used for entering site links in
 * Wikibase, but the sites table does not tell us which groups are currently
 * enabled for site links.
