Then, Wikidata also has what are called statements, with properties and values. This is roughly the counterpart of OSM's tags, keys, and values. https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:Properties https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:List_of_properties/all_in_one_table Just like OSM, there is a discussion and process on managing properties, but their processes are strictly enforceable unlike OSM's process for "voting" for the approval of tags on the OSM Wiki. https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:Property_proposal https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:Properties_for_deletion
