Hi Daniel, Markus and Wikidatans,
Thanks for your interesting "modeling elevation with Wikidata" conversation.
Daniel, in a related vein and conceptually, how would you model elevation change over time (e.g. in a Google Street View/Maps/Earth with TIME SLIDER, conceptually, for example) with Wikidata, building on the example you've already shared?
You would use the "point in time" qualifier. We use this a lot with population data, see for instance https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q64#P1082.
Would there be a wikidata Q-item for all 46 sub levels, for example?
That's a question of desirable modelling granularity. I would suppose that for troy, we would have one item per sub-level, since it's such a famous site. But we would probably not have every sub-level of every archeological excavation. This is always a question of balance, and always a matter of debate.
