Hey all,
it doesn't look like reuse of existing concepts and standards is a
priority for this project.
One cannot build a Semantic Web application by ignoring its main
building block, which is the RDF data model.
Right now it makes no sense to call Wikidata a "semantic" application.
In my opinion, where Wikidata should be going, is to provide
read-write user-friendly, multilingual interfaces for DBPedia. That
would be a true Semantic Web application for free and open knowledge.
Too bad people cannot get over the wiki mentality. It has worked fine
for a while, but it's time to move on.
Please rest assured that we are not ignoring RDF or OWL. The
similarities and differences of Wikidata and Dbpedia are explained in a
wiki page that Dbpedia and Wikidata people have been working out
together in order to avoid any confusions [1].

Hi,
When I glanced over the data model description and found the word
'Snaks' [1] as entity or unit of facts, it created some interpretive
confusion. Semantic web already uses some abstract language to
describe entity concepts, if possible don't introduce another one just
to describe a new concept and if necessary please choose a descriptor
that is more self-explanatory.

Would the Word "assertion" be a possible replacement for the neonym "Snak"?
