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
