Hi TomTOm, Be careful what you wish for! If this were possible, then if someone changed the dates, this could mess up other things. We already have a big job untangling mismatched interwiki links, and this would make such mismatches possible to the nth degree. Jane

Hey, I got an ontology question.
Classes are, in semantic web framework and their foundations like Description Logic, if I'am not wrong, something like a lohic predicate that intensionaly or extentionaly defines the properties of their instances.
They are usually not qualified, but in Wikidata, as of now they are properties like the others, who can also be qualified.
So the question is : could we use qualifier on classes to add predicates on the class definition ? For example if <George Bush> is an instance of <United States President> [<from> 1980 <to> 1984] (random years), this would mean that the instanciation add some predicates on the other predicates we have on the <president of the united states> ?
Just a random thought, I just realise I just qualified the instanciation, not the class itself.
