Hello
*Really* not meaning to jump down any http-range-14 rabbit holes but wasn't there a plan for wikidata to have uris representing things and pages about those things?
From conversations on this list I sketched a picture a while back of all the planned URIs: http://smethur.st/wp-uploads/2012/07/46159634-wikidata.png
Where http://wikidata.org/id/Qetc Was the "thing" uri (which you could point a foaf:PrimaryTopic at)
As Denny said in reply to another message, the preferred URI for this is
http://www.wikidata.org/entity/Qetc
This is also the form of URIs used within Wikidata data for certain things (e.g., coordinates that refer to earth use the URI "http://www.wikidata.org/entity/Q2" to do so, even in JSON).
and http://wikidata.org/wiki/Qetc
Was the document uri
Yes. However, for metadata it is usually preferred to use the entity URI, since the document http://wikidata.org/wiki/Qetc is just an automatic UI rendering of the data, and as such relatively uninteresting. One will eventually get (using content negotiation) all data in RDF from http://www.wikidata.org/entity/Qetc (JSON should already work, and html works of course, when opening the entity URI in normal browsers). The only reason for using the wiki URI directly would be if one uses a property that requires a document as its value, but in this case one should probably better use another property.
Best regards,
Markus
Mainly asking not for the wikipedia > wikidata relationships but wondering if there's a more up to date picture of supported wikidata uri patterns and redirects?
Recently I was trying to find a way to programmatically get wikidata uris from wikipedia uris and tried various combinations of: http://wikidata.org/title/enwiki:Berlin http://en.wikidata.org/item/Berlin http://en.wikidata.org/title/Berlin
(all mentioned on the list / wiki) but all of them return a 404
Is the a way to do this?

How about using RDFa and foaf:primaryTopic like in this example https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RDFa#XHTML.2BRDFa_1.0_example

Isn't there some way to do this with schema.org?
The FOAF options were designed for relations between entities and documents -
foaf:primaryTopic relates a Document to a thing that the doc is primarily about (i.e. assumes entity IDs as value, pedantically).
the inverse, foaf:isPrimaryTopicOf, was designed to allow an entity description in a random page to anchor itself against well known pages. In particular we had Wikipedia in mind.
http://xmlns.com/foaf/spec/#term_primaryTopic http://xmlns.com/foaf/spec/#term_isPrimaryTopicOf
(Both of these share a classic Semantic Web pickyness about distinguishing things from pages about those things).
Much more recently at schema.org we've added a new property/relationship called http://schema.org/sameAs
It relates an entity to a reference page (e.g. wikipedia) that can be used as a kind of proxy identifier for the real world thing that it describes. Not to be confused with owl:sameAs which is for saying "here are two ways of identifying the exact same real world entity".
None of these are a perfect fit for a relationship between a random Web page and a reference page. But maybe close enough?
Both FOAF and schema.org are essentially dictionaries of hopefully-useful terms, so you can use them in HTML head, or body, according to taste, policy, tooling etc. And you can choose a syntax (microdata, rdfa, json-ld etc.).
I'd recommend using the new schema.org 'sameAs', .e.g. in rdfa lite,
<link href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buckingham_Palace" property="http://schema.org/sameAs" />
This technically says "the thing we're describing in the current element is Buckingham_Palace. If you want to be more explicit and say "this Web page is about a real world Place and that place is Buckingham_Palace ... you can do this too with a bit more nesting; the HTML body might be a better place for it.
