Can you provide some use cases and/or purpose? That's my stock reply
someone asks me about a data model. Gandalf and stas can sing that song
forwards and backwards ;-)
Also, I'm wondering if some pieces in particular in the implementation
section should/could/need to be language dependent?

Hey all,
One of the ideas that came out of our visit to LREC back in May was the
need for an Open dictionary with a machine-readable data structure.
Wiktionary seemed like a natural source of the data itself, so I've set
about investigating how to get it converted and implemented as
structured data.
Many people have iterated on the idea of leveraging the Wikibase code
used by Wikidata to store the information, and a number of proposals
have been put forth over the years. I have put forward my own proposal,
based on reading the previous proposals and my own knowledge of
linguistics, and I would love to get more feedback on it:
https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:Wiktionary/Development/Proposals/2014-10
I introduced myself to Lydia Pintscher, the product manager of Wikidata
and Wikimedia Deutschland, at Wikimania in August, and told her that
we're interested in helping out with the implementation of this idea,
and I've had further online interactions with her since. Unfortunately,
though, this project is seen as a low priority by the Wikimedia folks,
and it will need a grassroots effort to get off the ground any time soon.
I'd be happy to hear from anyone who is interested in helping out. There
are some blockers in the Wikibase codebase that will need (PHP)
development before we can really move ahead on this, but I'm also
interested in simply hearing other people's ideas. Feel free to drop by
#intellego on Mozilla IRC or #wiktionary or #wikidata on FreeNode if you
want to talk in real-time.
Regards,
Gordon
