daniel added a comment. @Snaterlicious Oh nice! I haven't read the document in detail yet, but from a first browsing, it seems to give a good overview.
There are a few issues, though: - The documentation of the different bindings (JSON, PHP, JS, RDF, etc) should be prominently linked, and the relationship between them and the "abstract" model should be clear. - "Fingerprint" should not be in the abstract model. I consider it a detail of the PHP binding, it's not present in JSON or RDF at all. We are also seriously considering getting rid of it. - I miss the example screenshot from the old primer. It went a long way to clarify the idea behind the model, and how it is represented in the UI. An then there's the question whether documentation describing the structure of the data model is sufficient. Markus' spec is an ontological document, describing the data model's relationship with the real world in formal terms. That kind of "philosophical binding" is not very useful in day to day programming work, but extremely important when trying to resolve conflicts and misunderstandings, map to other vocabularies, or extend the model. I think we still need that. So the new document would mostly be a replacement for the old primer. The more formal ontological embedding could be moved to a different title, like Wikibase\Data model\formal or some such.
