Thanks Fariz! It will include a lot of data about heritage sites and the other UNESCO inscription programmes (e.g. Memory of the World register). Quite a bit of ground work has already be covered but there is still lots to do. The other data of interest will come from the UNESCO institute of statistics and other UN agencies, e.g. Global Education Monitoring Report, World Water Development Report and World Science Report. The actual form that the statistical data would take in Wikidata is very much dependent on the feedback from the community and what can work within the Wikidata model.

Will it be something like UNESCO heritage sites or anything else?
