Dear Lydia,
Hmmm I have to confess I don't understand this completely and therefor can't give you an answer. Could you give me an example of what you are talking about and how you see Wikidata fit in?
Hmmmmmmm :-) I am somewhat at loss here. Let start from some basic, then.
- is there a concise consensual definition of what Wikidata is
expected to achieve?
http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikidata right at the top
- Has this Wikidata project some Charter or terms of reference (TOR),
or dedicated web site, you could give the URL? http://wikidata.org is redirected to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Main_Page
No.
- Is there a list of the needs of wikimedia projects that wikidata is
to address ?
Some are mentioned on http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikidata/FAQ I believe
- What is/are going to be the language(s) of Wikidata?
the languages of the wikipedias
- What is the Wikidata's architectural framework? WDE (whole digital
ecosystem)? Human communications? The Internet services? Users applications? Wikimedia?
- What are the normative choices, strategic objectives and
constraints imposed by the sponsors and the WMF?
This is a really broad question ;-) If you have more concrete questions I can try to find answers.
- How the Wikidata project is to liaise with its potential users'
representatives (depending on the response to (5))
You mean the initial development team? Through me.
Cheers Lydia
