Sure, to really make that awsome, yeah you need wikidata. But we are
far away from hitting the point where we need wikidata. In fact the
three examples McBride gave don't need wikidata. mime type and file
size are easily programmaticly available already.
Yeah of course.
And unless I'm
mistaken, functionally dependent metadata like algortihmically
determined main image colour, are out of scope of wikidata.
We've been thinking about this a bit but no decision has been made.
It'd be nice to make these accessible in the same way as other
properties without needing to store and maintain them the same way.
We've been thinking about some kind of fake properties for example.
But we'll worry about that when we get there.
We're getting a bit off-topic. Sorry, Dan.
