Feature request: entityschemas and validation.

[dpriskorn]

support for entityschemas and validation seems to some degree to be supported in WBI.
A user story could be:

• as a user I want to get an item from a wikibase and validate it against an entityschema in the same wikibase
• As a user I want to validate all lexemes from a sparql query against an entity schema so I can get an overview and find those who do not validate and improve them

You want to have your Entity and automatically validate against an entityschema, something like this :

if my_entity.validate_schema('E345'):
  print('entity valid!)
else:
  print('try again 😬')

?

Yes, that was my idea. Maybe given the distributed nature of LOD I want to validate against a schema in another wikibase?
