I fully agree with you that the XSD model cannot by precisely integrated into Wikidata and also I know Wikidata development is in progress. I think I could deal with simple properties like "material" but I'm not sure how to deal with complex properties like "construction phases" I'm not sure. Even if it is no implementation yet, how these complex properties could be defined?

You can't integrate the XSD model precisely as it is defined because Wikidata doesn't allow all of the constraints that XSD allows. Specifically, you'll notice that you can't force an item to have a specific property (like the document or epigraphic reference in your model) and enumerations aren't currently supported. Wikidata has a global collection of properties and any item can use any arbitrary subset of them. The list is here: http://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:List_of_properties. Some of the ones you want already exist, like material used for a building. http://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Property:P186 You'll want to propose the other ones you want here: http://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:Property_proposal. I just added two statements (when you use a property, called a claim without references) to the Potaissa item that you use as an example. http://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q7234612

Hi all,
I recently attended "Wikidata meets archeology" symposium and I came across the question how a well structured and comprehensive data model of Roman forts (castra) could be integrated into Wikidata and then used on Wikipedia. For this I developed a raw XSD model based on the data model of Wikipedia's Infobox castrum. I put this model on the talk page of Q88205 (https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Talk:Q88205) adding also a simple example. I would like to know this data model could be
integrated
into Wikidata? It is feasible? Is it too complex?
Thank you, Saturnian
