Perhaps some thought should be given to how to structure metadata on buildings (and suchlike) on Commons.
Indeed. For those unfamiliar with them, there are some pages on this, at:
https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Structured_data
https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Wikidata
https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:WikiProject_Commons
though all seem out-of-date.
In the interim the Commons' template {{Wikidata}} can be used to associate a Wikidata ID with an image, page or category about a building, or any other item.
