Just to explain a little more:

Our item for Budapest has the code (primary key, identifier)

“Q1781”

We connect to Open Street Map by saving the feature ID of Budapest used by OSM:

“37244”

Most importantly this allows us to say these two identifiers stand for the same concept.

Because each item on Wikidata has a label and short description in more than 250 languages this allow us to dishinguish concepts independent of language.

It would be really fun to connect to this database because people could for example query: “I need free datasets that contain information about Budpest” and then Wikidata would show links to datasets on this website that contain that information.
