Hello All ,
i was looking at WikiData dump , specifically this one : wikidatawiki-20130818-pages-meta-hist-incr.xml.bz2
then i came to this statement
1. { 2. "m":[ 3. "value", 4. 158, 5. "string", 6. "Great Seal of the United States (obverse).svg" 7. ], 8. "q":[ 9. 10. ], 11. "g":"q30$D680D948-C2C1-493F-88AC-E4E2FB3764D2", 12. "rank":1, 13. "refs":[ 14. 15. ] 16. },
the property P158 which is the seal flag image . http://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Property:P158 and it's DataType should be "Commons media file" ? not "string" ? i'm not sure if it's always the same way and i don't get it , or the statement data is not consistent with property datatypes?
another Question : should i usually rely on the datatypes written in the json dumps or should i build and index of wkidata properties and their datatypes to avoid such situation ?
