Apologies, should this already have been discussed.

defines: Wikipedialink = (Title, LanguageId, Badge?)

In my experience the scope or extent of entities in different

Wikipedias sometimes differs. One Wikipedia considers an entity a

valid lemma, whereas another Wikipedia subsumes it in a larger lemma.

Would changing the model to:

Wikipedialink = (Title, LanguageId, Relation, Badge?)

where relation can be

broader match

close match

exact match

narrower match

etc. help in expressing these situations? I believe this could prevent

problems later on.

The default (and initial import of interlanguage links) could easily

be "close match" - to be refined only where required.
