Commons should be the interface to maintain the data. The actual data can be stored in a different location.
yes, but it makes things easier to keep the meta data local to the primary data. think of dumps, etc. i see no good reason to *not* have that info on commons. just because it's structured data? support for that is now part of mediawiki, it's not exclusive to wikidata.
I want to link the images with the items on Wikidata. So instead of having [[Category:Grote Kerk, Haarlem]] I just want to do "depicts" <Q item for the Church> I guess that's not possible when we have two Wikibase databases?
Sure it's possible, no problem. The example properties are meant to be read that way.
So I can link images of the church to https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q1545193 (item on Wikidata)? I don't feel like having duplicate systems......
yes, that is the idea!
You won't be able to run queries that span both system though, like "give me the birthdays of all people shown on pictures in category x". But that's the only big limitation i see.
In the long run we should probably get rid of the categories.
yes :)
