    Definitely. However, there is some infrastructural gap between

    low-tech when it comes to making its edits available to external
    tools. One could set up the code that is used to update
    query.wikidata.org <http://query.wikidata.org> (I am sure it's
    available somewhere), but it's still some extra work.


DBpedia Live does that for some years now. The only thing that is
non-standard in DBpedia Live are the changeset format but now this is
covered by LDPAtch
http://www.w3.org/TR/ldpatch/

At the moment DBpedia Live only produces the changeset that other
servers can consume.
The actual SPARQL Endpoint is located in an Openlink server and we
  already use the same model to feed & update an LDF Endpoint (Still in
beta)

If there *were* an ldpatch service for Wikidata, then you *could* do this for Wikidata as well, using standard tools (on the W3C "WG Note" level) from this point on. However, there is no such service now, and I am not aware of any activity that is aimed at building such a service. It's not rocket science to set this up, but it requires non-standard techniques and custom tools (starting with parsing edit histories of Wikidata).

Markus,

You can use existing standards to achieve these goals, as is already demonstrated. Fundamentally, you can use RDF Language to describe anything for machine processing, and of course that includes feeds, and the nature of said feeds (formats, deltas, refresh schedules etc..).

Standards and technology aren't the problem here, so let's not frame matters that way, for broad clarity.
