Support EDTF about wikidata-toolkit HOT 5 CLOSED

Since Wikibase lets extensions define new datatypes, we should make sure that it is not necessary to modify Wikidata-Toolkit itself to use those datatypes.

As far as I know, it should already be possible for you to use Wikidata-Toolkit to work with EDTF values on a Wikibase instance.
Notice that the list of datatypes stored in DatatypeIdValue is actually a list of static strings. That means that you can actually supply your own IRI for the EDTF datatype and instanciate a DatatypeIdValue with that (without making any change to Wikidata-Toolkit).

Also, retrieving values (via wbgetentities) and editing them (via wbeditentity or its friends) should already be supported because EDTF uses the string datavalue type, which is already supported.

That being said, if you want to contribute a canonical IRI for the EDTF datatype and store it as a static string in Wikidata-Toolkit, I think that is totally fine.

Thanks for the quick reply. I didn't realize I could supply my own datatype IRI. It might still be good to add the canonical IRI "http://wikiba.se/ontology#Edtf" (according to https://github.com/Wikidata/triplify-json), but I'll leave the conversion and stuff out then.

The way it works in GitHub is that you need to create a "pull request":
