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.
1) is there a concise consensual definition of what Wikidata is
expected to achieve?
http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikidata right at the top
2) 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.
3) 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
4) What is/are going to be the language(s) of
Wikidata?
the languages of the wikipedias
5) What is the Wikidata's architectural framework?
WDE (whole digital
ecosystem)? Human communications? The Internet services? Users
applications? Wikimedia?
6) 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.
7) 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
