Thanks, JFC. Often those that will change the world tomorrow are those that are not understood today.
Cheers, Denny

In short, we have for Wikidata two pragmatic goals:
- Wikidata's first aim is to support the Wikipedias with their language
links
- Wikidata's second aim is to support the Wikipedias with the infoboxes
Out of the support for these tasks, other interesting use cases might and are expected to arise.
Until I manage to understand how your comments relate to one of these goals, I will personally take the liberty to ignore your comments.
Fair enough :-)
Your assesments are correct. As I first documented it, our (iucg@ietf.org) target in this area is the Internet+ (smart fringe to fringe Internet) MDRS (metadata registry multilinguistic distributed referential system). The MDRS is to the Internet+ and to the Semiotic Internet (Intersem) that we explore, what the IANA is to the legacy Internet, and what Wikidata might be to Wikimedia.
Our "use case" is the Internet+ distributed operations (I documented the IETF Drafts references). The MDRS will most probably be a datawiki or/and a DDDS (the DNS is a DDDS) of some sort. Todays IANA and wikis are humanly fed and read, datawikis will be more and more fed and read by intelligent processes. This intelligence leads to additional opportunities and constraints.
Our targets are the same, however you have to have conceptual limits, while by essence I must have none. This is why I tried to poke our possible common interest areas. Your two confirmed documents now gives us your current limits (the more people understand what the "revolution" (as per wikimedia) datawikis are going to be, the more they may expect from them).
My own target is to internally review these documents, assess their possible evolution, strive to stay interoperable, and permit users and applications to take a better advantage from your project ( wikidata.iucg.org). We will alert you if we fear possible architectural conflicts through our work and tests. This seems to be in line with what Lydia responded today.
