It would be great to have federated Wikibase on meta.wikimedia.org specifically to manage these kinds of projects, institutions we work with, etc.
I saw that idea appear on wishlists somewhere, but, I guess, seeing the current workload for other projects, this is not going to be implemented soonish, so an ‘in between’ solution that is easily transferrable to external federated wikibase solutions later would be good.

Hoi,
I "abuse"  the property catalog for some time now just to get this effect. I use it to identify items that are part of a project like the "Black Lunch Table". It works really well it is used for instance to identify in queries; by associating it with a location, we know the subjects of / for an ediathon. 

The principle is the same
Thanks,

Implicit heterogeneous unordered containers where members sees a homogeneous parent. The member properties should be transitive to avoid the maintenance burden, like a "tracking property", and also to make the parent item manageable.

I can't see anything that needs any kind of special structure at the entity level. Not even sure whether we need a new container for this, claims are already unordered containers.

This sounds like Wikimedia categories, as used on Wikipedia and
Wikimedia Commons.
