Oh boy. I thought I had a few things figured out with Wikidata...until
I read through the Property Talk discussions for
https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Property_talk:P2236
(with its mentions of Freebase mapping)
So...
I've been adding a few bits of
Schema.org mapping into Wikidata today, and
stumbled upon a few things that made me rethink a few things...lolol.
QUESTION:
How to state that a Wikidata Entity (not a Property) such as
place of birth
https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q1322263
is the same concept or idea as a
Schema.org property
http://schema.org/birthPlace ?
I thought I could use P2236 above... but then it seems its for WD
Properties, not Entities (subjects) ?
SOLUTION ? Perhaps we could do a best practice of treating
http://schema.org/birthPlace as an actual Identifier for the place of birth
concept
https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q1322263
...while reserving the WD Property place of brith
https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Property:P19 to use equivalent property
https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Property:P1628 ?
TPT and Denny didn't leave enough notes in there for what to do about
external mapping cases of external vocabularies that are also loosely
considered as metadata dictionaries as well for the common web and
developers, like
Schema.org is.
Thoughts on the SOLUTION proposed ?
