Hoi, Hoe does this fit in with the plan to use structured data for Commons? As I understand it, the plan is to use tags for pictures, this will make what pictures depict findable in any language with the appropriate labels.
The Search Team doesn't know the details yet. But, the more structured data there is about files, the easier time we'll have building compelling experiences that return relevant results. That's why we noted the structured data for Commons project as a dependency https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Discovery/FDC_Proposal#Dependencies in the narrative document. I doubt we'd be able to do anything other than trivial improvements to media search without having structured data about the files in place.
Thanks, Dan
