Hi,
Is the 'template' word so bad? Paraphrasing Daniel's definition of the
MediaWiki template, one could see a 'WikiData template' as
a set of of properties that can be re-used, e.g. to make create
statements about a certain class. (the 'parameter' bit could be
understood as adding or removing properties from the templates, e.g.
using twice a property or adding a new one when it's needed).
What we're after seems to exist already, described as 'item structure':
http://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:WikiProject_Visual_arts/Item_structure
Or 'list of properties':
https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:List_of_properties/Works
'schema convention' matches the idea, but the wording may be too
abstract. I come from a community that calls such things 'description
set profiles'; such expressions have a hard time being adopted in less
technical communities...
About the text values. A big +1 to Daniel at not trying to represent
semi-structured text, which is meant to piggyback structured data in
legacy systems that can't handle it. The matter is rather the
availability in Wikidata of text-like summaries like the
dbpedia-owl:abstract at http://dbpedia.org/page/Castle . Having things
like this together with the Wikidata data would be great for
data-reusers like us, instead of having to fetch it from elsewhere!
There's TextExtracts
<https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:TextExtracts> for that:
example
<https://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?action=query&prop=extracts&exsentences=1&explaintext=1&titles=Castle>
