I would agree with this. There has historically been a lot of vagueness around the word "data", and a lot of vague suggestions in the early days when Wikidata was still being created... and as a result people sometimes get the impression that Wikidata intends to be a kind of generalised data repository. This is a bit like assuming Wikipedia will take anything that's got words :-) I wonder if it would be good to identify a couple of good, reliable, repositories we can encourage people to use for this sort of material? This means that even if we have to say to a potential partner "sorry, this isn't what we want", we can still give them advice on how to get it released and available in the most appropriate way. Better than a frustrating back-and-forth...
