Thanks again, Tom.
I find the WIKISEARCH a bit overly permissive for general use, but it did find some useful matches. These tools are very helpful!

Hi David,

I made some additions to your document (red column headers). This
shows the workflow to first search, then lookup the qid, and then the
WIkidata fact "instance of". I will add the descriptions to a new
function WIKIDATADESCRIPTIONS, let me work on that. It is easily
possible via the API
(https://www.wikidata.org/w/api.php?action=wbgetentities&ids=Q42&format=json&props=descriptions).
Hope this helps!

Cheers,
Tom
