Some comments[edit]

Allowing navigation on things like "population" imply that the form berlin.population will be dangerous, and also getting to the "as of" value will need something like berlin.population.statement33['as of']. Either there should be some transformation rules to turn labels into a js-safe form, or there should be some kind of marker that indicates that the form can't be accessed in the simple dot-form, or it should be explicitly stated that the dot-form can't be used when the label-enriched form is used.

In some cases I think the label-enriched form also needs type-markers to ease parsing, but I'm not sure. Perhaps the position always will be enough to identify the correct type. — Jeblad 12:42, 4 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
