Hoi,
Given my background with OmegaWiki, I do not actively look into the Lexeme
part of Wikidata. When I do, I notice things that are really cool and yes,
Nobel prijswinnaar is a fine example of a lexeme. I am happy to notice and
applaud tools like Ordia, it is this kind of involvement we largely missed
at OmegaWiki.
Thanks,
GerardM
