Wikidata devient ainsi central dans la gestion de l’information bibliographique pour les bibliothèques… mais aussi pour les entreprises, et au premier rang d’entre elles, Google.

There are many ways to gauge importance from a social and cultural sense, such as calculating the centrality of the Salt Lake City Airport in a network made up of world airports, or measuring the number and type of notable individuals a city produces.

It’s very rough, and meant to be one of the ever-useful “gestures” at meaning that are used in the humanities (while the sciences have perfected the proxy, the gesture is truly the most valuable humanities commodity).
