We want to develop a metric for the quality of data on Wikidata. This metric will be reported internally, to WMF and to the community. The rough thoughts for the metric are:
- It will be made up of dimensions of the quality of Wikidata's data
- Each dimension will have its own metric
- A weighting of dimensions will be decided on such that the metrics for each dimension will add to the whole Wikidata Quality Metric
- Dimensions will not have equal weight
- The metric will be versioned
