Hi all,
It sounds like an interesting opportunity to be able to use the app next year. Thank you for working on it Josephine and team!
Our team at Wikimedia Sverige would be able to support some of the local teams with the technical part of moving data to Wikidata until WLM 2021 (we could start working on it from early 2021).
As some of you know, our team worked on transferring a number of datasets to Wikidata in 2016–2017 as part of the Connected Open Heritage project.[1] But many datasets obviously still remain (and new data and datasets have been added!) and we would need to work with people that know the datasets (and languages) to be able to continue the work.
If you are interested to work with us please drop my colleague Alicia Fagerving, in cc, an email (alicia.fagerving@wikimedia.se).

Hi Jean-Frédéric,
Thanks for the information, nice to hear from the maintainer! That is indeed a huge concern, and we should go with Wikidata in that case.Best regards,

I consider the monuments database legacy. I wouldn't build new things on
top of it. If countries want their monuments to be visible in the
Commons app (and other places), they should invest time into migrating
to Wikidata.I would like to strongly +1 what Maarten said, as current/ex co-maintainer of the monuments database.We have tried our best so that the tools already built on top of the monuments database keep running ; but new things should not be built on it.(While there is some support for harvesting Wikidata datasets into the monuments database, that was only ever meant to ease transition to Wikidata for folks highly dependent on legacy tooling (such as ErfgoedBot)).Finally, there have been reports of the monuments DB harvesting behaving weirdly ; and neither André nor I have the capacity to look into it. In short, at the moment, I can offer little guarantee that the monuments DB would actually be up to date.Cheers,--Jean-Fred
