WikiData should support foreign data repositories. More specifically, it should be possible to use a module which stores the data in a table instead of json in a WikiPage. If the wikiprecipitation project decides to use minute-by-minute values, he could have a server replicating a www.aemet.es database with such data. This is more appropiate for data coming from a single authoritative source, than for a crowdsourced approach but will be very welcome by third users and WMF itself when it can substitute huge and inefficient pages with a db table. _______________________________________________ Wikidata-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikidata-l
