I would say this is a good starting point. The Wikidata data model is described in full detail here [1], and a introductory primer is given here [2]. Qualifiers are not implemented yet, but will be there soon, and followed by more datatypes (like time, geo, etc.).
The major difference is that values like "stone" for material or "opus-quadratum" for technique should not be strings - this does not translate well. They should be pointing to items, e.g. Q8063 instead of "stone" and Q2631941 instead of "opus-quadratum". The other thing is that Wikidata does not really intend to enable constraints in that very strong sense that your schema chooses. So if someone wants to add a value for material that you did not preconceive, like Q40861 (Marble), Wikidata-as-a-software will not stop them from doing so (just as Wikipedia-as-a-software does not stop you from entering that, either) (see also [3]).
