- Motivation
I was involved in the setup of this project years ago - it was the first time I heard of the idea of a 'triple store' or SPARQL. The website is designed to have a database of concepts that can be semantically linked to each other and then encylopedic articles about some of them can be written as well. Wikipedia already uses those articles (many of which are cc-by-sa) for footnotes and importing-content, so I thought it would be good to connect up the item-IDs as well!
Their index of types of content is listed here: http://dictionaryofsydney.org/browse/ There are 8 folders of items that are useful for Wikidata's purposes - Artefacts; Buildings; Events; Natural features; Organisations; People; Places; and Structures. The three other folders listed there (Entries; Maps; Multimedia) refer to other kinds of content on the website and are NOT relevant for this Authority Control proposal.

- Support. This looks like a useful set of information, having this as an external id makes sense to me. YULdigitalpreservation (talk) 18:42, 13 March 2017 (UTC)
