I am with @Harej here. Focusing on the largest data set is not the right approach. As I have indicated in similar discussions elsewhere, there will be a next large subset and this one will also be large. From the field chemistry, 60M items is nothing. The number of species every observed is millions. There are many things that easily go into the millions. At this moment, we have a small subset of chemicals in Wikidata (~1.2 million), because of the growing pains this is artificially low (real chemical databases have >102 M records of chemicals experimentally studied). I regularly run into missing content (even just looking at the English Wikipedia), and am very selective in what i add at this moment. As soon as you remove one big blob, all that will happen is that the void will be very quickly filled by another big blob. Now, if a single database is not possible, then the overall design must just change, and everything should become a separate namespace and make sure the federation works extremely well: the reason why Wikidata works so awesome, is that I can move from one topic to underlying data sources because everything is integrated. Please take that into consideration. In fact, it the sake is just to split out a blog and see what happens, then plz focus on something more volatile then the knowledge about reality, and remove for example things that changes every year. For example, remove all humans, all of them, and organizations. There will be a new human tomorrow. When it comes to facts, who care who did or studied it, but just focus on what happened or what was discovered.
