For example, it’s very likely that Wikidata will continue to report on the GDP and population of different countries, at least for the next 5-10 years.
Being an admin on Wikidata myself, I don’t see Wikidata as solution to this problem given that Wikidata can report values from multiple different sources.
If you want to make predicions about GDP and population the CIA Worldfactbook is likely a more stable source.
Good point, thanks.
Even though we data could have values multiple sources, that could still be more useful than nothing, but it’s probably better where possible to use specific sources like the CIA World Factbook, if you trust that they will have the information the future.
