One other usecase for this would be citation URLs. For example, to get the number of inhabitants of all Dutch municipalities you need a 800-character (1) permalink from the central bureau of statistics.
So this change would be very welcome indeed!

Hi all,
I think this topic might have been discussed many months ago. For certain data types in the chemical compound space (P233, canonical smiles, P2017 isomeric smiles and P234 Inchi key) a higher character limit than 400 would be really helpful (1500 to 2000 chars (I sense that this might cause problems with SPARQL)). Are there any plans on implementing this? In general, for quality assurance, many string property types would profit from a fixed max string length.
Best, Sebastian
