TASK DESCRIPTION Right now the code that generates RDF for wikibase uses hardcoded prefixes for entities and other nodes - `wdata:`, `wd:`, `wdt:` etc. However, this may be confusing when used with MediaInfo/commons, for several reasons: 1. MediaInfo entities (`M1234`) are not Wikidata, and `wd:` kind of implies Wikidata. 2. If `wd:` prefix is linked to commons entity URI (http://commons.wikimedia.org/entity/) it can not be used for Wikidata entities, because these use http://www.wikida.org/entity/), so writing queries using these items will be confusing as another prefix should be used for those. 3. Doing federated queries against Wikidata data set would be even more confusing since it won't be clear which `wd:` means what where. Same is true for some measure for other prefixes too, but `wd:` is most important, since Commons does not have now it's own properties, so all predicates still can use Wikidata ones, and `wds:` predicate which is used with statements is rarely used in queries (though it needs to be taken into account too). Thus, we have the following option: A. Leave everything as is and try to deal with the confusion by education and writing smarter queries, etc. B. Choose different prefixes for SDC/Mediainfo, e.g. `sdc:`, `sdcdata:`, etc. Not sure whether is makes sense to also change statement and value/reference ones, since it is not very likely they'd refer to each other, and Commons is not even using them currently. C. Use prefix-suffix system, like `c-wd:`, for all Commons prefixes. D. Something else? Note that this is distinct issue from T222306 <https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T222306> - we know which full URI will be in the database, but this is the question how it would be represented in export formats that use prefixes to be human-readable - like TTL - and how the queries and query service configuration (which includes default prefixes) would be set up. Also note that, strictly speaking, prefixes in TTL format do not need to match prefixes in query (they are internally resolved to full URIs anyway), so we can do different approaches in different areas, though it again will be somewhat confusing if we take this road.
