Hi there!
I'm planning to do a mass import of the Brazilian database of Higher Education
Institutions (2011 census) to Wikidata, updating existing institutions and add the missing
ones. (I could use some help :)
One of the issues I foresee is the distinction between private and public educational
institutions is done via subclassing instead of properties. There's a university
subclass public university that I can use, but how should I indicate that the institution
is maintained with federal, state or city funds?
Should I put the country in affiliation in the former and the state in affiliation in the
latter? Should I propose a new property?
Or even better and hopefully the case, is there an even more specific property that I can
use for this?
Also, how to indicate that some are non-profit and some are for-profit?
Thanks,
Victor
