Hi Lydia, in languages such as OWL, a class of
item can be defined by a
predicate on the properties and values of the item. Will we be able to link
a class Qitem to a Wikidata complex query in the corresponding namespace ?
For example if we define a class "Douglas Adams Novels" whose instances are
the members of the example query you gave ?

like to make you aware of this RFC started by Gerard:

It is interesting because in the end, what is the difference between a
list,
a category, and a query? Not much, really.
I'm curious to know if the approach taken with queries will be the
same as
the WDQ
http://tools.wmflabs.org/reasonator/?&q=6573995
Items like "List of..." or "Category:" would have some use, but the
development notes don't state if this is the intended path
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikidata/Development/Queries
Any thoughts about it?
I've been trying to understand the RfC 3 times now and still fail. So
I can't answer your questions unfortunately.
The short and simplified version of how complex queries will work:
* someone defines a query on a page in a special query namespace (eg
"everything that has author = Douglas Adams")
* the result of the query is a list of items matching the query
* the Wikipedias can include the result of the query and visualize it
in certain ways on a page. (eg the wikitext of the article "List of
works by Douglas Adams" would have a call to include the query result
from Wikidata)
Cheers
Lydia
