"number of sitelinks for the document associated with this entity" strikes me as semantically odd, which was the point of my earlier mail. I'd much rather have "number of sitelinks in this document". You are right that the primary use would be to "rank" items, and that it would be more conveniant to have the count assocdiated directly with the item (the entity), but I fear it will lead to a blurring of the line between information about the entity, and information about the document. That is already a common point of confusion, and I'd rather keep that separation very clear. I also don't think that one level of indirection would be orribly complicated. To me it's just natural to include the sitelink info on the same level as we provide a timestmap or revision id: for the document. -- Daniel Kinzler Senior Software Developer Wikimedia Deutschland Gesellschaft zur Förderung Freien Wissens e.V. _______________________________________________ Wikidata mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikidata
