Then I think that we were not talking about the same things... what I meant
is, restricting myself to chemical databases, ChEBI and ChemSpider have old
fashion identifiers and IRIs (based on those identifiers), but HMDB, for
example, does not. That's outside Wikidata's control, so Wikidata has to
accept both types of identifiers. Right?
