Obviously, you all expect me to agree with Martynas, in view of my job, and I do:-). But I do not only because I work for W3C, but I indeed genuinely believe that reinventing things here may be way too costly on long term...
Note also that W3C may start a new group later this year that would look at a 'lower' level HTTP protocol to manage (read and write) RDF data without necessarily using SPARQL. This may be useful for the project as well.

Hey all,
I've been reading some of the technical notes on Wikidata, for example http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikidata/Notes/Data_model http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:Nikola_Smolenski/Wikidata#Query_language
I would suggest that at this stage we need to have a comprehensive understanding of all the possible options.
1.Has someone published as page listing the best *summary* documenting and argumenting each of the existing options. I suppose we will want a table indicating which existing solution answers which listed need?
- Since we have a W3C expert: what is the best document/book to get a comprehensive and clear (not too massive) documentation on the semantic web?
The one which is probably closest to what WikiData would need is "Linked Data: Evolving the Web into a Global Data Space", by Tom Heath and Christian Bizer.
It is actually readable in HTML freely:
http://linkeddatabook.com/editions/1.0/
For a more complete list of books, see also
http://www.w3.org/2001/sw/wiki/Books
- What are the relations with the JTC1/SC32/WG2? Is investing time in their documents appropriate?
Honestly, I do not know. The JTC1/SC32 has no link to WG2, and none of their documents are public:-(

Thank you. I have ported it under Word and will work on it as a W3C referent.

I will note it on my http://wikifutura.net working site (in French at the time being).

http://metadata-standards.org/ I think all their work past and current can be access there. Best jfc
