Bug ID: 71992
Summary: JSON should (optionally) contain full URIs for
referenced external entities
Product: MediaWiki extensions
Version: unspecified
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: Unprioritized
Component: WikidataRepo

Wikidata contains a variety of properties that refer to external resources
using standard identifiers for such resources, e.g. ISBN, VIAF, MusicBrainz,
GND, etc. it should be possible for clients to resolve these to URIs
automatically, either by including the URI expansion in the JSON representation
of the respective Statement or DataValue, or by at least including the
necessary mappings elsewhere in the JSON document.
Currently, Wikibase knows nothing about the interpretation of external IDs,
which are stored and interpreted as plain StringValues. In order to provide URI
expansion, a new DataType would be needed on top of StringValue, which would
contain the URI pattern and perhaps regular expressions for validating and/or
normalizing the IDs. This additional information would need to be recorded in
the respective property definitions (or in a separate vocabulary definition
which could be re-used by multiple properties).
