The aim of of the WikiProject Structured Data for Commons is:
* To develop templates that draw directly on Wikidata (and in future
also on Commons Wikibase), that will act as drop-in replacements for
templates currently in use on Commons.
* To develop new templates that can bring new functionality to
Commons filepages (eg "topics" listings)
* To support the cataloguing of particularly idiosyncratic templates
currently in use on Commons (eg institutional credit/backlink templates,
and other source templates), and try to produce more generalised,
standardised forms that can draw on Wikidata.
* To work with other WikiProjects on Wikidata to understand, document
and develop the data models on Wikidata, and make sure that they are
sufficient to accommodate the needs of GLAM organisations and others
currently or in future uploading or maintaining metadata on Commons.
* To start to port existing such data that can be represented in
structured form, and is appropriate to do so, from Commons to Wikidata
* To examine the divide between what should be stored on Wikidata and
what should be stored on the proposed Commons Wikibase.
* To support, as a user-space community, the work of the staffers
developing Commons Wikibase and other aspects of the Foundation
initiative for Structured Data for Commons in any way we can.
