Hello Jeroen ,
can i get from your words that this page : http://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Special:ListDatatypes is not up to date ?if so how can i get all the datatypes in Wikidata ?
Pages in the virtual Special namespace are generated by MediaWiki on demand, and are therefore always (in principle - there can be caching in some cases) up to date.
string could be anything ( so time could be a string) , but there's a defined lower level representation of common media files . so is it wrong to represent it as string ,
Time cannot be a string, as there are several components in a time value (time, timezone, precision, calendar model, before and after precisions).
I see nothing wrong in storing commonsMedia values as string values. You will know from the property's datatype that the string is a CommonsMedia string.
