Hello, 

Yes I might not use the right term here especially if you use it already in a different context. What I mean is that it would be good to have list of properties that can be used for a given thing. For instance if you want to describe a painting here the list of properties you can use.

https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:WikiProject_sum_of_all_paintings points to a page listing some properties that can be used for painting but not all of them. 

Best, 

Valentine
