Hoi, I received this in my mail. I think that many opportunities in combination with maps can have maybe even should have a Wikidata dimension. The three things that Wikidata has to offer are:
- support for multiple languages - support for geo locations - support for dates of events
The maps of battle fields in the USA is a Wikidata best practice, the map that is being compiled with railway stations is another..
Another important reason why Wikidata and Commons could / should cooperate is because in six months time (hopefully) the Wikidata team will start working on integrating Wikidata technology in Commons. At that time good cooperation will become even more relevant.
So, I think Wikidata may have a place in the coming talks, deliberations and, that is why I forward this mail to the WD list. Thanks, GerardM
