Summary edit
The summary is a group of summary sentences and associated keywords that describe the relevant topic(s). Below is an example.
The first column (after the line number) should be a single sentence. The second column should be a comma-separated list of keywords about that sentence, and so on. Taken together, all the sentences should provide an accurate summary of what was discussed with the specific community.
| Line | Statement (summary sentence) | keywords |
| 1 | Complaint to Wikidata is "hard to explain". Its mission is unclear. Where's the goal? | mission, goal |
| 2 | Ideal Wikidata is easy to imagine: where GLAMs from all over the world (especially not rich ones) can archive everything, run by donations, maintained by volunteers. | GLAM, volunteer |
| 3 | Wikidata is too evolved in the way librarians wished to-be, and got complicated, whereas Wikipedia is easy to explain; "an online encyclopedia". No metaphor for Wikidata. | complicated |
| 4 | Almost no or few applications of Wikidata are available. Current applications could be done with simpler way (e.g. DBPedia or OSM). | application |
| 5 | Wikidata should be a strong tool for arts researchers, but most of them do not understand what it is very much. RDF or RDBMS does not sound good for them. | research, arts |
| 6 | New "killer content" is needed for Wikidata. Species would fit in this, and why isn't there data of "all figures appeared in the Bible"? | content, application |
| 7 | Stop "using as interlang links" as an example of Wikidata application now, and how about putting "all the artifacts in a national museum of somewhere" data in and publish it right now? | content, application |
