@daniel's summary misses an option:
1.
1. `{ "id": "foo:Q184" }`, but a local ID would still be `{ "id": "Q1" }`.
Main advantage: Repos like wikidata.org would not change at all when the
software starts supporting such prefixed external IDs everywhere (not only in
the data value we discuss here).
2. Same, but local IDs would also be prefixed, e.g. `{ "id": "d:Q1" }`.
Advantage: The fact that IDs can be prefixed is explicit and obvious and can
not be ignored. That's also a disadvantage: User code will break even when the
repo the user cares about does not have external ids.
2. `{ "id": "Q184", "repo": "foo" }`. Main disadvantage: This **changes** the
meaning of the existing "id" field.
I tend to agree that option 1.A is the best.
We continued discussing edge cases that involve colons in entity IDs.
Solution: Prefix local IDs with a colon when they contain colons, e.g. `{ "id":
":Q1:2" }`. We can and I think we should have support for this right away when
we start working on this.
