I think the explicit schema will be brilliant when applied to collections,
it will facilitate linking tools and more.  But would it make sense to
represent lists as a wikidata statements, as a compromise between native
SQL and wiki pages?  We would gain the standard onwiki tools, a data
structure that makes lists queryable and richly linkable, and it also
becomes easy to add properties for higher-level projects such as
distinguishing between Education Program's "list of articles to review" and
"list of articles I'm editing".
