Fair enough :-)

Your assesments are correct. As I first documented it, our 
(iucg at ietf.org) target in this area is the Internet+ (smart fringe to 
fringe Internet) MDRS (metadata registry multilinguistic distributed 
referential system). The MDRS is to the Internet+ and to the Semiotic 
Internet (Intersem) that we explore, what the IANA is to the legacy 
Internet, and what Wikidata might be to Wikimedia.

Our "use case" is the Internet+ distributed operations (I documented 
the IETF Drafts references). The MDRS will most probably be a 
datawiki or/and a DDDS (the DNS is a DDDS) of some sort. Todays IANA 
and wikis are humanly fed and read, datawikis will be more and more 
fed and read by intelligent processes. This intelligence leads to 
additional opportunities and constraints.

Our targets are the same, however you have to have conceptual limits, 
while by essence I must have none. This is why I tried to poke our 
possible common interest areas. Your two confirmed documents now 
gives us your current limits (the more people understand what the 
"revolution" (as per wikimedia) datawikis are going to be, the more 
they may expect from them).

My own target is to internally review these documents, assess their 
possible evolution, strive to stay interoperable, and permit users 
and applications to take a better advantage from your project 
(wikidata.iucg.org). We will alert you if we fear possible 
architectural conflicts through our work and tests. This seems to be 
in line with what Lydia responded today.
