>From my very personal and (GLAMmy) point of you, it should be, at least,
a OAI-MPH (OAI-ORE?) complaint repository, who would harvest/contain
metadata from Commons and Wikisource.
It should import/export data in variuos forms and within various metadata
schemes (e.g. Dublin Core).

It could be designed for llong-term preservation, adding
archival metadata (and metadata schemes).

For the part of Wikidata as a repository of Open Data (Linked Open Data?)
from Wikipedia, I give you the word.
