Thanks for your answers, Markus.
One last question (I hope): What advantage brings the new reification
process (using different namespaces instead of {s, v, c, ..} suffixes)?
Technically, these two variants are just a case of "different URIs": RDF
graphs do not have a notion of "suffix" or "namespace". The reason why
we put the modifying part of the URI before the Wikidata entity ID is
that it is easier for people to write in the interface. The reason for
the exact shape of the URIs (with several, sometimes nested
"directories") has been decided mostly based on technical considerations
that I don't recall in detail.
Cheers,
Markus
