Hi Denny, Lydia, Daniel and All, 

This is great. 

Looking further into the CC Wikidata future, in what ways might such CC Wiktionary database developments as you're outlining here - https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:Wiktionary/Development/Proposals/2015-05 - inform, or be extensible into, a CC Universal Translator, eventually in all 7,929 languages in Glottolog - http://glottolog.org/glottolog/language - for example, as well as including invented and dead languages, and even inter-species' communication, - and in voice and video eventually, and for MIT OCW-centric linguistic research, as well? 

Thanks and cheers, 
Scott

Can you explain where you think my description is inconsistent with the current
proposal?

I agree the proposal is a bit terse, and it would be nice if it explained a bit
more how common use cases, like translations and synonyms, would be covered by
the proposed model. But it clearly states that Lexemes contain Senses and Forms,
and that Sense and Forms are entities (and thus have IDs, and can be referenced
individually) and have Statements (which can be used to reference other
entities, like Senses or Items).

My explanation reflects the intent behind the proposed model. If it seems far
from the proposal to you, it would be good to know why that is, and how that
could be fixed.
