Hi all,
Could those knowledgeable about OWL or intending to use Wikidata's RDF /
OWL exports please weigh in at
https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:Property_proposal/Property_metadata#…
? [1]
Being able to declare certain "properties of properties" is an essential
building block for querying and inference. However, the way to declare
that a property is, say, transitive in OWL does not have a clear analog in
Wikidata syntax. We could certainly shoehorn such a statement into our
existing model (and it looks like we'll need to), but it is important to do
so in a way that complicate things as little as possible for downstream
users, e.g. outside researchers or developers using the RDF exports and
assuming standard OWL semantics.
Please make any comments on this on-wiki at the location linked above.
That way we can keep the discussion centralized.
Other discussions on that page could also benefit from input by people
knowledgeable about Semantic Web vocabulary.
Thanks,
Eric
