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
