Agree with Nick. This could be simply a flexible presentation problem to solve. Automatic descriptions are generated and stored somewhere, and an opt-in display of the auto-description is available for those users that are interested in visualizing them or helping out with them.

If there is already an English description and an abstract description is created, should we delete the English description to replace it with the description generated (and maybe cached) from abstract?
@Julio974: This is ultimately up to the Wikidata community to decide, as it is about the content stored on that wiki. I don't know if we'd ever want to *automatically* replace an existing manual description (probably not?), but I imagine it would be good to create a workflow for local language experts to check whether the new Abstract Description was an improvement on any existing manual or bot-generated Description. As the original email said, one of the proposed goals is:
"It must be possible to overwrite a[n abstract] description for a given
language" Human control is key.
@Peter: This idea is just about the Descriptions stored in the Wikidata project itself. What happens beyond that, is beyond the scope of this.
