There is no reason that the Wikidata community cannot benefit from publications in venues that are not open access. Of course open access makes publications more accessible and more in line with Wikidata goals but to my mind a publication that is not open access can provide a benefit to the Wikidata community. > From a search <https://link.lens.org/AFeru5oPGdg> it's easy to find > good and bad examples.

I think that you should have searched further and found out more about the open access policy of the Journal of Web Semantics. In https://www.elsevier.com/journals/journal-of-web-semantics/1570-8268/open-access-options there is "In accordance with funding body requirements, Elsevier does offer alternative open access publishing options.
