Hi!
when you say "wikidata is not well suited for
lists data", you refer
to wikibase or WDQS here?
Wikidata is not good for storing list data, or any serial data. WDQS can
produce all kinds of amazing lists via queries, but it's not a primary
data storage. In general, it could store series data, but since it's
based off Wikidata and feeds from it, that creates certain issue when
data is not very suitable for Wikidata.
the
data:Bea.gov/GDP by state.tab above is certainly
a good
representation for efficient delivery (via json) and display of data.
but inefficient for further data sharing without URIs.
The question of querying data like "GDB by state.tab" is an interesting
one. I'm not sure whether triple store would be a good medium, but maybe
it could be... Needs some research on the idea.
