There is only one lemma per Lexeme (in only one language)Don’t we have something to support e. g. “color” and “colour” for the same
lexeme? I’m not sure if that’s two lemmas or one lemma (multilingual text) with
two spellings, but there seems to be some need for multiple texts and languages
per lexeme (though the average number of texts per lexeme will probably only be
slightly above one).
Yes, that's one of the standard examples of a Lexeme with multiple lemma
variants. The representations of Forms of that lexeme can then also have
multiple variants (plural: colors/colors).
Variants are used to cover different spellings or alphabets. It's till one Lemma
(and one Form).
Other examples include stopp vs stopp, Tal vs Thal, etc.
Since we know we are exclusively dealing with Item references, but no other entity types, we could store the references as integers.What about federation? I guess it could still work, at least with the way
federation currently works (configured per entity type), where we know that all
items reside in one repository.
Federation is indeed currently limited to one repo per entity type. That
limitation is however not an assumption spread throughout the code, but is a
imposed by the implementation details of one or two classes. So it's (in theory)
easy to change. We should be very careful not to rely on this assumption anywhere.
But yes, for now, we rely on all items to reside in a single repo: Wikidata.
That should be sufficient for our use case.
