Hi Kingsley,
Sorry for the newbie question but I don't really get what the page you linked to should ideally output. Could you explain what is wrong in this and what would be the good behavior for those 3 to collaborate smoothly? (or link to any article explicating this)
Thanks in advance!

Hi Maxime!
Have a look athttp://musicbrainz.org/, it uses structured data, is freely licensed, and they are very interested in integrating with Wikidata.
While Wikidata has finer granularity than Wikipedia, as far as I know you would not be able to include just any piece by any artist. MusicBrainz's scope is probably better suited for your project.
However, why only use one Database? Ideally, if there is a Wikidata item about some entry on MusicBrainz, these would be linked to each other using the appropriate properties. So, you could search MusicBrains and include information from Wikidata if it is available (or vice versa).
Daniel,
In the light of your comments above, why can't Wikidata, Freebase, and DBpedia cross-reference is a natural way. All I see right now are the following, which I find suboptimal, for all the wrong reasons:
- Wikidata cross references Freebase
- Freebase cross references Wikidata
- DBpedia cross references both, but makes bridge URIs in the DBpedia
namespace to achieve this, in regards to Wikidata.
1-3 isn't how this should be working out on the Web of Linked Data.
