Hey,
You mention using a global id to refer to sites for making links. And
synchronization of the sites table.
So you're saying that this part of Wikidata only works within Wikimedia
projects right?
Does Wikidata overall only function within Wikimedia projects. Or is there
a different mechanism to deal with clients from external wikis?
The software we're writing is completely Wikimedia agnostic and the actual
Wikidata project will obvious be usable outside of Wikimedia projects. We
will allow for links to non Wikimedia sites (although we have not agreed on
how open this will be), and for non-Wikimedia sites to access all data
stored within Wikidata (including our "equivalent links" using the sites
table). Does that answer your question or am I missing something?
Cheers
