Hi,
During the Zürich Hackathon I met several people that looked for solutions about how to integrate external open datasets into our projects (mainly Wikipedia, Wikidata). Since Wikidata is not the right tool to manage them (reasons explained in the RFC as discussed during the Wikidata session), I have felt convenient to centralize the discussion about potential requirements, needs, and how to approach this new changing landscape that didn't exist a few years ago.
You will find more details here https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Requests_for_comment/How_to_deal_with_open_d...
Your comments, thoughts and ideas are appreciated!
Cheers, Micru

Thanks for the pointer, "How can I put this open data on Wikidata is a question that I have been asked many times", this page was needed.
Ciao,

Thanks Micru! I think we should start by including datasets on wikisource, with descriptions about them (storing the files on commons where possible). And adding more data formats to the formats accepted on commons.
Other tools can follow later.

I don't follow you... why would you put datasets on Wikisource when they are only used in Wikipedia and have to be stored somewhere else? As it is now, it doesn't seem a good dataset management solution. Besides that it would conflict with its identity as repository for textual sources.. About Commons I don't know if it is relevant to their mission as a sharing media platform either... I hope someone from their community can share their views.
Thanks for the input, Micru
