What is the relation between wikidata and wikipedia? Couldn't one get the wikidata-reference code by looking up the wikipedia article name? In this case it would be an unnecessary duplication of information to also have a wikidata tag. I like the idea to use URIs for operators, like suggested in your proposal, but these have to be correct, e.g. the McDonald's example from your proposal doesn't work, it would be plain wrong, as McDonald's is a franchise and most McDonald's "restaurants" are not operated by the McDonald's Corporation. This example also shows that the data wikidata offers for the moment is not quite detailed, there seems to be no other information than the common name in various languages (e.g. there is no information about the address, not even the full name including the legal form (corporation etc.), no contact details, no management, business volume or any other interesting information regarding a company). cheers, Martin _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
