Over the last year, we have seen some discussion about if and how Wikidata can be useful for Wikimedia Commons. One aspect of this is maintaining meta data as structured data. On behalf of the Wikidata development team, I just posted a proposal for this: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Wikidata_for_media_info

In order to support Commons meta-data, we plan to introduce another

Aperture, etc. Might be taken from EXIF using a bot.

From the proposal it is not very clear to me what is the relationship

On behalf of the Wikidata development team, I just posted a proposal for this: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Wikidata_for_media_info We hope you regard this as an invitation to discuss the proposal and to identify use cases that we do not cover with it. Please use the proposal's talk page as a central place for discussion about Wikidata and media meta data. Please invite others involved with the Wikidata or Commons projects or otherwise interested in media meta data to take part in the invitation.

From the proposal it is not very clear to me what is the relationship between the data stored in Commons and the data stored in Wikidata is going to look like. I assume that "Work (item)" will be linked to existing "work items" in Wikidata, is that correct? In that case will it be possible to have some interface to create missing items in Wikidata from Commons?

This questions are related to the modifications to the UploadWizard that one student is doing for the GsoC and how to handle the metadata creation when the file is uploaded: This RfC is still a draft, but your input would be very much appreciated: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:Micru/Wikisource_across_projects
