Lydia_Pintscher added a comment. I am against this proposal for several reasons:
- Wikidata is structured around concepts. Datasets are usually structured around the same data for many topics. - People are already now having issues understanding the above and want to upload their spreadsheet to Wikidata. This would further make this really hard to explain and understand. - We can not have a mix of licenses which would surely be expected if we go along this path. - We are there to expose the data we have in a uniform way to Wikipedia, the other sister projects and third parties. This would make this impossible. - Wikidata is at the core a knowledge base. Not a place to put a dataset. - People expect to be able to query all the data in Wikidata in a unifrom way. This would not be possible. - We are building data quality tools that all resolve around the way data is stored in Wikidata right now.
