Wikidata's Lexeme project is progressing slowly, but its direction is right. It will finally build a technical platform that is actually good for a dictionary.
A wiki article is a very similar type to dictionary presentation of lexemes. The best dictionaries also cover morphemes, e.g., "grammar" on the top line of https://dictionary.cambridge.org
http://www.englishprofile.org/english-grammar-profile/egp-online
Those are the intermediate English morphemes, and these are their lexemes:
http://www.englishprofile.org/wordlists
I wonder if there is a Wikidata word number mapping for all ~6,500 of those (level A1-C2) words.
Thanks all!
Best regards, Jim

I think this is à propos in this discussion about how authoritative can be the Wiktionary... here a scientific article starts by using a definition from the Wiktionary:

Actually one point that wasn't indicated so far, is the Wiktionnaries have indeed not a equal quality for every single article, but where quality is there it outstand easily any other single dictionary out there. Also there are a growing number of words for which no definition is given outside the Wiktionary. I think that conjugated, it might easily accustom people to directly go look up in Wikitonary when they need a definition, whatever its authoritative level might be.
