Data model

Wikibase

I propose Wikibase: wikidata.org uses Wikibase -- It goes _much_ faster wikidata.org than directory.fsf.org.

Wikibase is a triplestore implementation. "Technical support: the data model should allow for adequate representations in existing data formats, e.g., JSON or RDF/OWL" - https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Wikibase/DataModel

Resource links

Bendikker has added hundreds (if not thousands) of resource links to various entries. I think we should import them if possible. Here's what he added to Emacs for example

• https://directory.fsf.org/wiki/User_talk:Bendikker#Standard_links_I_add_for_GNU_packages
• https://directory.fsf.org/wiki/User_talk:Bendikker#Standard_links_I_add
