Maybe not really a correct answer to your question, but I'm thiking of
something similar of automated generated articles.
In my suggestion this was, associate a template description, in form of a
wikitemplate that uses claims, to a query.

@Gerard, @Magnus: please help me out here.
I agree that automatic descriptions are very useful. I also think that in
*some*
cases, manual descriptions are more useful, and maybe even needed.
I definitely think that 3rd party consumers of wikidata should not have to
think
about whether descriptions have been written manually or were created
automatically. This should be completely transparent.
So, if you want to help with making automated description a reality,
please make
suggestions that take into account the above points, and also consider the
mechanisms for language fallback.
The only thing that I can think of right away is simply inserting automated
descriptions by bot. This isn't ideal, but I can't think of a better
solution
that wouldn't be hugely complicated (and would thus not be implemented any
time
soon). Maybe you have ideas?

Hoi,
How does that help ? The point is exactly that there is no point to
descriptions. Why iterate on a dog it will still be a mutt.
Thanks,

Hoi,
I understand that item descriptions are going to be used in
a mobile
app. In my opinion that is seriously
disappointing because
it is not
realistic to expect enough coverage
in any language.
Particularly in
the small languages it will not be
really useful.
My question is: we have had automated descriptions for a
long time.
What is it that they makes that they
are not used.?
Thanks,
GerardM
