--- Comment #6 from [email protected] --- As Yair said the data would be considered a (json?) blob and sourced/ranked/qualified as a whole. The blob could reside in its own namespace page (Dataset:X), which won't be editable as other items. Instead, new revisions could be uploaded and the data typing would be tested on upload. The upload test would consist on: - check that the data conforms to the WD data representations - check that there is always the same claim-qualifier structure as given by the first claim Lua modules could access it as other wikidata items (since the datatypes, structure, etc is the same as any item) with the difference that the data is considered static and its structure always the same. For instance this table [1] would be called "Dataset:Populations with multiracial identifiers in CA 2010". It would be used as a value of a claim as: "Demographics of California (Q3044234)" <census data> "Dataset:Populations with multiracial identifiers in CA 2010" Sourced, and qualified as usual ("year of creation:2010"). The dataset itself would be represented as claims (*) with qualifiers (--): *Group: White --population:15,763,625 --percentage:42.3% *Group: Hispanic --population:14,013,719 --percentage:37.6% etc. This would translate visually into a non-editable spreadsheet: {| |- ! Group !! population!! percentage |- | White|| 15,763,625|| 42.3% |- | Hispanic|| 14,013,719|| 37.6% |} I hope this answers John's fundamental questions. Lydia, do you still think that it would break some Wikidata basics? If so, could it be considered for Wikibase-Commons?
