The benefit is directly towards WMDE's goals.
Specifically, https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:APG/Proposals/2015-2016_round1/Wikime... Goal 1b: Grow the reach of Wikidata beyond the Wikimedia projects
A Wikidata property = Some external vocabulary property A Wikidata property is similar to Some external vocabulary property A Wikidata property is considered a parent class to Some external vocabulary class <-- Needs new property for support. A Wikidata property is considered a child class to Some external vocabulary class
What Schema.org needs now from Wikidata is the addition of a few new properties that seem to be missing. (I sound like a broken record now)
1. 'external subclass'.
DONE.
Let's start there. I don't even want to drag this discussion further than beyond that 1 request, at this point in time.
