Dear Sir,
I thank you for your efforts. It was an honour for me to meet you in Stockholm. Concerning the points you raised, I
1. Concerning the problematic use of Instance of and SubClass of, I invite you to see https://tinyurl.com/y29lx9o4. This
seems to be not accurate as drugs differ from drug classes from a pharmacological view. For example, Artemisinin, Ibuprofen and Sobosbuvir are drugs. However, drug classes should include antibiotics and antivirals. Concerning WikiProject Ontology, I know it.
The project succeeded to solve many matters related to the structure of Wikidata. However, the project is slow.
2. Concerning SQID and ShEx, they are interesting projects. However, this is not what I mean. I ask if Wikidata can involve a description logics layer for properties that can be later used to find data inconsistencies within Wikidata.
3. The principle of enriching Wikidata within labels, Wikidata statements and statement references is simple using citation indexes such as PubMed. For adding a reference to a Wikidata statement X(A,B), we should only search for (X AND A AND B) using PubMed
and find the most relevant result.
4. We should either change CC-0 into CC-BY Licence or try to convince the creators of ontologies to change the licence of their works into CC-0.
5. Using a constraint is an excellent idea. I ask if sensitivity and specificity can be used as constraints https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sensitivity_and_specificity. The matter of these two metrics is that they can vary from a study to another.
6. Concerning CC-0 Lexicons, I can cite Onto.PT https://www.researchgate.net/publication/259935306_OntoPT_Recent_developments_of_a_large_public_domain_Portuguese_wordnet.
7. I think that we should be an ontology for the stages of diseases.
8. Reasonator is based on POS Tagging of Wikipedia. https://tools.wmflabs.org/reasonator/?&q=1339&lang=en. However, this is not important. The most important fact is how to use Wikidata labels to ameliorate translations of Mediawiki messages.
9. I agree on the fact that the creation of new properties can solve this problem.

I would say in most Semantic Web applications there is a distinction
between class and instance. I wonder if you can give examples of the
problem. I see that diseases are instances of diseases which may be
contested. Are you aware of WikiProject Ontology
https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:WikiProject_Ontology

We have property suggestions and ShEx which might help. There is also
SQID webservice https://tools.wmflabs.org/sqid which is of help.

I wonder if you could be more concrete here.
It more sounds like editor issues?

I which way should it be ameliorated? Should we leave CC0?

That has also bothered me. To a certain extent qualifiers may be used.

Could you give some pointers to this? For modern Danish, I know
Q66371001 which is CC0, but not much more. I am under the impression
that Basque has been setup automatically presumable from an existing
resource.

I suppose one could create items for stages.

Perhaps to a certain extent. Currently translatewiki is used. That has
review option. I am not sure that Wikidata can be used to translated
messages such as "Write a helpful note for {{GENDER:$1|$1}} and future
reviewers."
I am not sure what "the principle of Reasonator" is.

Qualifiers to a certain extent makes that possible. Perhaps new
properties are necessary.
