I've noticed that many of the items in Wikidata have as their root item
(via combinations of subclass-of, instance-of, and part-of
relationships) the item named "entity" (Q35120). For example, the
musical note named "E♭" is rooted at "entity" via various paths,
including the following:
E♭ (Q633464) instance-of
note (Q263478) part-of
musical notation (Q233861) part-of
music (Q638) subclass-of
art (Q735) subclass-of
process (Q3249551) subclass-of
event (Q1190554) subclass-of
entity (Q35120)
I have the following questions related to the example above:
1) Is the intent that all items in Wikidata have as their root item (via
combinations of subclass-of, instance-of, and part-of relationships) the
item named "entity" (Q35120)?
2) Is it the intent that any item (e.g. music) that is a subclass-of
another item (e.g. art), have as its root item (via only subclass-of
relationships) the item named "entity" (Q35120)?
To summarize these questions as they apply to a project on which I'm
working: Given a tree that has as its root the item named "entity"
(Q35120), would/should it be possible to navigate from the root to every
item (QXXXXXXX) in the Wikidata database?
