I do not think it's helpful to talk of "dumping" data into Wikidata.
At least to me, the term implies a throw-away attitude of not caring
much about what happens to the data once it's in Wikidata.
The "Sum of all paintings" and WikiCite initiatives are good examples
of how the community is working on a continuous basis with data
imported into Wikidata, and enriching or otherwise curating it or
using it to help people find information or learn in a variety of
ways.
That both have dedicated Wikidata frontends is perhaps no accident -
this helps the Wiki community to engage with the respective corners of
Wikidata and to reach out to communities that are interested in data
of the types that reside in those corners.
Re Scholia, there is some basic documentation now at
https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:Scholia ,
and at the Wikimedia Hackathon this week, documentation of Scholia and
related workflows is amongst the things we plan to work on:
https://github.com/fnielsen/scholia/projects/1 .
Help with any of that is most welcome.
Cheers,
Daniel

Sum of all paintings is one of the best examples, that
a lot of us fall back
on, because of Crotos:

I also have a tendency to fall back on scholia as an example, which is
underpinned by a bunch of data from PubMed -- though that hasn't been well
documented anywhere.
You might check with WMSV on their work with COH:

Good day,
Do any of you have success stories of data dumps, especially from
governmental sources, into Wikidata that have been used to create something
useful after that, especially on Wikipedia?
Thank you,
