Discussion[edit]

(qualifierSnak proposal) Statements of Instance Of should be treated more generally and loosely as Events themselves[edit]

Context Item: https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q91629492

Context: Governments and other authorities often state that some things are instances of other things. This is universally known. This is most often treated as a set of statements themselves in other Graph systems.

I want to bring something up that is going to spin a few minds of folks. In other Graph systems, the very act of me or someone at some time saying something is an "instance of" is a complete Event itself (Event based graphs were recently highlighted in "CS520 Knowledge Graph Seminar Session 1" video on YouTube at 34:00) (with all the metadata that any Event could possibly contain, who,what,when,where,etc. said this thing was an instance of some other thing). However, in Wikidata, we don't treat Statements, for example the act of saying something is an "instance of", as an Event itself. We do have in the data model however a wrapper through qualifierSnak, to store additional information, but it lacks treatment as an entire Event.

This causes a number of issues:

  1. Each individual qualifier would need an attached reference, instead of only once for the single Event (the set of qualifiers, a qualifierSnak).
  2. Constraints and Rules become harder to maintain because there is not a single wrapper for the entire metadata of a statement (that I am aware of).

I offer an alternative design: Allow a set of qualifierSnaks to be treated in whole as an entire Event type (and possibly other types as needed).

qualifierSnak =

  • Who
  • What (we have this)
  • When
  • Where
  • How (not sure we have this)

This allows a few nice things:

  1. We can easily give a single reference for the entire qualiferSnak Event, or multiple references if we desire, saving us from having to add a reference on each individual qualifier assertion.
  2. Constraints and Rules can be applied on the whole qualifierSnak Event (or additional Snak types other than Event types if they are out there and needed).
  3. Since all Events share a common set of properties, these can be maintained at a datatype level, or perhaps somehow allowing a flexible datatype that can use Wikidata itself and just maintaining an agreed set of properties for this type (P1963) statements on Event occurrence (Q1190554) which qualifierSnak's would be typed as.

I welcome disagreement, head spinning, and "we already thought about that, see this..." comments. ;-)

(and perhaps this is all entirely possible via API and programmatically, but just not exposed in this way in the UI currently)

Suitability of Commons category (Q24574745) as value[edit]

If Commons has a category, it would either go on an item with Wikimedia category (Q4167836) or the related topical item, not one with Commons category (Q24574745) in P31. As I don't see what other uses there could be for the above in P31, there could be, I added a "none of" constraint. --- Jura 09:02, 25 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Suitability of Wikimedia article page (Q15138389) as value[edit]

In most cases, I think one should the sitelink to an item about the topic covered by the article, not an item for "Wikipedia articles". As I don't see what other uses in P31, there could be, I added a "none of" constraint. --- Jura 09:02, 25 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Well, based on items currently having P31=Q15138389 statement, the idea seems to be that these items are for Wikipedia articles that are not about single topic (or single clear-cut concept), but rather are arbitrarily split from some other article, or that combine several topics. For example geology of Israel (Q16131547) currently having this P31 value seems more straightforwad than climate of Israel (Q2911354) claimed to be an instance of some pseudo-class called "climate of geographic location". See also Wikipedia article covering multiple topics (Q21484471) (a subclass of this item). Though, indeed the distinction between items about Wikimedia article pages and normal topic items should be made more clear. 2001:7D0:81F7:B580:9587:D3CB:74EF:6AF3 18:46, 29 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • There are academic articles that cite Wikipedia articles. In those cases it's useful to have an item for the Wikipedia article.
When it comes to geology of Israel (Q16131547) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geology_of_Israel is not a page about a Wikipedia article and thus shouldn't be linked to an item with instance of (P31) Wikimedia article page (Q15138389). ChristianKl ❪✉❫ 00:18, 11 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • All or almost all current uses of P31 Q15138389 are incorrect, but there could theoretically be an item for which the statement would be correct, similar to how Q42395533 is correctly described as an instance of Wikidata item. (There should really be a help page describing the potential mistakes relating to mixing up an item/article and its topic.) --Yair rand (talk) 02:04, 21 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
As far as I can see items like geology of Israel (Q16131547) compare with items that are instances of Wikimedia category page or Wikimedia list page, rather than with normal concept items. This example item exists because country article on Wikipedia has been split, not because "geology of Israel" is its own thing, special kind of geology, or whatever. So it seems reosonable to make this distinction clear, one way or another, instead of inventing various and dubious ways to fit such items into concept hierarchy. In case of "climate of Israel" mentioned above, setting it as both instance of and subclss of "climate" is just meaningless. Take another example early life of Samuel Johnson (Q3798467) which per subclass tree is currently set as instance of "information", instead of frankly indicating that item is for a Wikipedia article. 2001:7D0:81F7:B580:9C67:F3D6:A94A:A88D 09:22, 5 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Isn't it fairly common in geography and its various aspects to study it for some area? It's possibly that one hasn't come across studies of that specific country, but I don't see that as a problem. I don't think it really matters what Wikipedia does or doesn't do. We can just link its articles if there are some. --- Jura 09:37, 5 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
The study subject can be delimited in whatever arbitrary way (as is the case for splitting a long Wikipedia article), e.g. one can specify further and study "geology of the Permian and Triassic in the territory of Israel". Which does't make any such arbitary subject into a new concept, does it. Surely Wikidata can and does link to any existing Wikipedia article. The problem is how to classify resulting items meaningfully. Based on most items currently having P31=Q15138389 (or more specifially P31=Q21484471) it is at least evident that the statement isn't used for random items with Wikipedia sitelinks and there's an intent to make it clear that these items aren't about individual clear-cut concepts. 2001:7D0:81F7:B580:298C:2394:42D3:C4D1 12:05, 5 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
I'm sure we can find a meaningful way to classify and describe "geology of <country>" topics. --- Jura 12:14, 5 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
I also don't think it's an impossible task, neither in regard to other similar examples cited above. Though, out of options I've encountered, P31=Q15138389 or similar statements for reasons outlined above to me make the most sense. I again admit it's an imperfect solution and needs further refinement, so that it was clear that the statement shouldn't be used for all items with Wikipedia sitelinks. The second best option I can think of is to leave such items without any P31/P279 statement, and rely on facet of (P1269), main subject (P921) and alike, but then users probably eventually add P31/P279 anyway with some "close enough" value (i.e. more or less meaningless value). 2001:7D0:81F7:B580:298C:2394:42D3:C4D1 12:41, 5 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Removing said to be the same as (P460) as qualifier[edit]

It seems to me like many qualifiers get currently used on instance of (P31) that have no good business being mixed up in instance of (P31). said to be the same as (P460) at the top of the list seem without good footing and gets mostly used in taxonomy. WikiProject Taxonomy has more than 50 participants and couldn't be pinged. Please post on the WikiProject's talk page instead. ChristianKl ❪✉❫ 00:30, 11 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Seems reasonable to me. --Yair rand (talk) 02:10, 21 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]


Removing language of work or name (P407) as qualifier[edit]

This finds current uses. They seem to be of two types:

  • (1) Items where contributors try to describe a Wikipedia page connected to the item, but irrelevant for the P31-statement [1]
  • (2) Items where the statement would better be a main statement (or already is) [2]

I'd remove (1) and move (2) where possible. If nothing is left, P407 can be removed. --- Jura 17:14, 18 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

None-of constraints: podcast and games?[edit]

@trade: but audio podcast (Q24633474) and video podcast (Q3276244) are both subclasses of podcast (Q24634210) ... so not being able to use them with instance of (P31) doesn't seem to make any sense to me. --Push-f (talk) 11:27, 20 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
They are all marked as product distribution method (Q81941037) which = distribution format (P437) @Push-f:--Trade (talk) 13:53, 20 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@trade: right I understand that distribution format (P437) is currently used but I don't see why it should be used. I think distribution format (P437) makes sense to say that a game is distributed on e.g. a DVD but in regards to audio podcast (Q24633474) there is an "is" relationship. An audio-only podcast is an audio podcast, so instance of audio podcast (Q24633474) is the best way to model this in my opinion. --Push-f (talk) 16:58, 20 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

None-of constraint: book?[edit]

@VIGNERON: You added "book" (Q571) to none-of constraint (Q52558054) twice (see this and this), and I reverted them (see this and this). The reasons you gave were "use more precise value (most of the case: Q47461344, written work)" and "too general value ; use a more specific values, see [[Wikidata:WikiProject_Books]]". But book (Q571) is a subclass of, and more specific than, written work (Q47461344). If book (Q571) is "too general", written work (Q47461344) is even more general. So, in my view, "book" (Q571) is as specific as "article" (Q191067) and "chapter" (Q1980247), and can be the value of instance of (Property:P31). --Neo-Jay (talk) 04:50, 19 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Neo-Jay: oh, I didn't noticed (and that explains why I was surprised the constraint was not already here).
Yes, book should no be used as a value of P31. And also yes, book (Q571) is too general and problematic. Subclass of book (Q571) changes a lot and right now I see it's a sublclass of work (so intangible) and of document/publication/object (tangible) which is contradictory and illogical. I think the adding of sublclass of work is the mistake here (I'll ask on Talk:Q571 again...). Anyway, many people clean books and remove the value Q571 to P31 since the beggining of Wikidata, removing the constraints will only make our job harder. Cheers, VIGNERON (talk) 06:39, 19 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
That's patently ridiculous. It should be possible to give an 'instance of' property as a book. Referring to something as a 'book' has strong colloquial usage Jack4576 (talk) 14:36, 1 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@Jack4576: no it shouldn't, because Q571 can refer to several different concepts. See Wikidata:WikiProject Books. If the item you want to model has a publication date, a publisher and you can read it, use Q3331189. --Jahl de Vautban (talk) 15:16, 1 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
So what if it can refer to several different concepts. We should still be allowed to identify something as a 'book'. Categorisation does not require the use of concepts that aren't ambiguous. If we applied "because X can refer to several different concepts" universally across the identifiers on this site it would be chaos. I don't know why we are making an exception for 'book'.
If a more specific category is more appropriate in context, then we can use that more specific category. However, to prevent the word 'book' being used at all is a wholly unnecessary and artificial restriction. Jack4576 (talk) 15:36, 1 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Add type constraint to be mutually exclusive with different from (P1889)[edit]

I'd like to suggest adding a type constraint that prevents something from being both instance of (P31) (synonym "is") and different from (P1889) (synonym "is not"). After all, X is Y and X is not Y cannot be simultaneously true. -Thunderforge (talk) 21:38, 1 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Finding those without it set[edit]

Is there a query for finding humans without P31 set and optionally lets people filter on labels that end with a particular string (so they could work on everyone in a family they were researching for example) Back ache (talk) 09:13, 21 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

  • You need to find another way to determine if an item is about a person. This could be:
  • a category on Wikipedia
  • a property generally found on items about people (sample: date of birth).
  • infobox or text of the article at Wikipedia
The label alone generally doesn't allow to determine it.
Special:Search/inlabel:"Miller" -haswbstatement:P31 -haswbstatement:P279 finds items with "Miller" in the label, but no P31 or P279 statement. It currently includes Ron Miller and G.A. Miller. You could then check the items or linked articles to see if its about a person. --- Jura 10:48, 21 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

简体中文 标签 的翻译[edit]

有原来的“隶属于”改为“（以类型分）属于”，原因如下：

1，隶属于 并没有表达“属于某一类别”的意思，更多是“首。。。。。。 管辖”的意思

2，（以类型分）属于 有明确的类型概念 如： Confucius (Q4604) instance of (P31) human (Q5)

Removal of some redundant English aliases[edit]

I am just making a note here to say why I removed some of the many English language aliases for this property. It was making the language heading quite unweildy to edit and read, in addition to making search suggestions confusing by including names which have overlap with other properties. For example, "member of" already exists as a different concept, and "has class" reads as something analagous to "has parts" or "has parts of class." The various "is a..." aliases I removed because so long as at least one is present, instance of will already appear in the search suggestions regardless of what is typed, and unless the aliases are particularly interchangeable I saw no reason to keep those. Further, the "was" aliases seemed out of scope. The time of the statement is with respect to the presently existing item; a historic building may still be represented by an item which is currently an instance of building. -Middle river exports (talk) 04:40, 4 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

NB: I also removed the aliases for the British and Canadian variants of English (en-GB and en-CA, respectively). Their “translations” were identical to “regular” English (en), so I removed them too (regional dialects will fall back on their base language's translations if needed).

Revision "‎Undo revision 1790142757 by Lectrician1 (talk): this is not true at all, the statements on the class apply to the class itself, not its instances; this is not Java/C++ " by LiberatorG[edit]

@User:LiberatorG Revision Could you give an example of an instance that does not inherit the properties of its superclass? Lectrician1 (talk) 15:44, 15 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Lectrician1 Take the example of metaclasses, just for example. A metaclass is a class of class. A class can be an instance of a specific metaclass. But its instances are generally not classes, and are not instances of the metaclass.
In biology for example, if you consider taxons instances to be classes of organisms. Say, I’m an instance of mammal, and mammal is an instance of taxon. But as an instance, if I inherited everything from the mammal class it would entail that I’m a taxon, which is not true. author  TomT0m / talk page 16:11, 15 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@Lectrician1 Your revision said "the class this existent instance inherits all statements from". That would mean that because Albert Einstein (Q937)instance of (P31)human (Q5), the image (P18) on human (Q5) is an image of Albert Einstein (Q937), which it is not. Similarly, the pronunciation audio (P443), history of topic (P2184), described by source (P1343), model item (P5869), female form of label (P2521), exact match (P2888), topic's main template (P1424), topic's main category (P910) from human (Q5) would make no sense on Albert Einstein (Q937), and obviously the identifiers like GND ID (P227) and Encyclopædia Britannica Online ID (P1417) for human (Q5) are not identifiers for Albert Einstein (Q937). –LiberatorG (talk) 16:47, 15 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Huh. This actually brings up a really interesting thing though. Some properties on classes are meant to be inherited (for example has part(s) (P527), physically interacts with (P129), etc. on human (Q5)). But others are not (the ones you listed). Do we have a way to distinguish ones that should be inherited and ones that shouldn't? Lectrician1 (talk) 16:59, 15 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I proposed a long time ago to use a construction with has quality Search and qualifiers, but it’s imperfect.
If the property is meant to be inherited, use
⟨ class ⟩ has quality Search ⟨ values in qualifier ⟩
physically interacts with (P129) View with SQID ⟨ whatever ⟩
author  TomT0m / talk page 19:02, 15 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
How do you use class (P2308)? That's a property constraint qualifier... Lectrician1 (talk) 20:20, 15 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Oh sorry wrong template, corrected. author  TomT0m / talk page 20:42, 15 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
But aren't some properties always inherited, nomatter what class they're used on? For example, the ones I mentioned above? If so, shouldn't we somehow express on the property that whatever class it is used on it can be inherited by subclasses? Lectrician1 (talk) 21:02, 15 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Well, in that case there is only one class, physical entity according to the property description. So, I guess whatever but it’s easier, say in a template context, to go up the class hierarchy in lua to get all the properties inherited from the superclass than to get all the domains of the property, there is no accessible link in the latter case with the current API. author  TomT0m / talk page 21:13, 15 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Removed complex constraint P31=samevalue and P279=samevalue for being too common[edit]

"Domain" and "codomain" as qualifiers[edit]

@Swpb: Like "start time" and "end time", they should be paired properly when there are more than one pairs of available values. 慈居 (talk) 16:31, 18 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Please give an example. Swpb (talk) 16:34, 18 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
One example would be multivalued function (Q629085) (disclaimer: related statements are created by myself). It has different pairs of domain and codomain under different constructions. 慈居 (talk) 16:39, 18 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
multivalued function (Q629085) does not have a instance of (P31) statement on it. Swpb (talk) 16:50, 18 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
You're right. But any instance of that might. I'll give some examples in some minutes. 慈居 (talk) 16:56, 18 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I see a total of eight statements on six items where definition domain (P1568) or codomain (P1571) qualifies instance of (P31). All of these qualifying statements should be main statements instead. Swpb (talk) 16:59, 18 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
What do you think about this one I've just created? 慈居 (talk) 17:04, 18 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Besides we have the concept of tuples of sets, which is a function from an index set to the class of sets, and which is equivalent constructed as the functions whose codomain is the index set. 慈居 (talk) 17:20, 18 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I'm not very familiar with the math here, but as I understand it, square root (Q134237) is a function that is multi-valued over part of its domain, and single-valued over the rest. So you could model that with five statements:
  1. square root (Q134237)instance of (P31)function (Q11348)
  2. square root (Q134237)definition domain (P1568)Riemann surface of the square root (Q121600137)
  3. square root (Q134237)definition domain (P1568)Riemann sphere (Q825857)applies to part (P518)multivalued function (Q629085)
  4. square root (Q134237)codomain (P1571)complex plane (Q328998)
  5. square root (Q134237)codomain (P1571)Riemann sphere (Q825857)applies to part (P518)multivalued function (Q629085)
I'm not sure if that modeling is better or worse than what you've just done; you should consult a math-oriented Wikiproject. What I'm pretty sure of is that, where there is only one value for instance of (P31), it should not be qualified with these properties, but instead they should be used as main statements. But if you want to re-add the properties to the allowed-qualifiers constraint to allow for cases like what you've just done, that's fine with me. Swpb (talk) 17:25, 18 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
That modeling is mostly satisfying to me, but I'm concerned that in principle, there are some things with equivalent constructions with different pairs of domains and codomains, but both as functions or both as multivalued functions, etc.. I wish there is a qualifier that somehow effectively identify different constructions of the concepts. As for your last concern, I wonder if (appropriately) repeating the statements without qualifiers will solve the problem? 慈居 (talk) 17:51, 18 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
What do you mean by "repeating the statements without qualifiers"? You could also, if there are not many items (like square root (Q134237)) requiring these qualifiers, leave the constraint in place and add those items as constrain exceptions. Otherwise, I think the only way to allow the qualifiers when distinguishing different P31 values, but disallow them when there is only one P31 value, would be with a complex constraint. Swpb (talk) 14:23, 21 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
What I meant was to state that the item is an instance of a function or a multivalued function without qualifiers, so that the item unconditionally becomes an instance of some Wikidata class, if statments with qualifiers prevents this from happening. I can't come up with a way to simplify the constraint you mentioned, maybe the constraint could be on P31 (at least one statement is without qualifier, if there is one)? After some thought after the discussion I have in mind a variant of your modeling like this:
i.e. making codomain (P1571) a qualifier of definition domain (P1568). Some of P31 statments are still "paritally right", I guess they can be followed by a qualifier like in square root (Q134237)instance of (P31)function (Q11348)nature of statement (P5102)under some domain and codomain. 慈居 (talk) 21:41, 21 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Broken templates[edit]

Does everyone loading this talk page encounter broken templates before the talk page discussions are even reached? Which leads to my actual question, are there not far too many constraints for this property? I don't think they are intended to be used for every possible misuse of "instance of", thousands more could conceivably be added. —Xezbeth (talk) 15:06, 31 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

To the first question, yes, I see broken templates here. To the second question, I think the constraints here are appropriate until alternatives exist with the same effect. I've proposed one such alternative (Phabricator ticket here, not sure how to get it prioritized) that could replace a lot of the "none-of" constraints here with much simpler constraints. Until then, if the number and size of constraints is causing software issues, I think that's a developer problem. Swpb (talk) 16:08, 31 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I don't think you understood. Arjoopy isn't trying to make P276 the value of a P31 statement; they want to use it as a qualifier. In their example, it should be a main statement. Swpb (talk) 18:28, 23 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

none-of constraint Q157031 foundation (Q157031)[edit]

Why is there a none-of constraint for Q157031 foundation (Q157031). I do understand that the item should not be type of specific legal types like Stichting stichting (Q19605764) or StiftungStiftung (Q18631225), but "foundation" foundation (Q157031) is very broad and really a type of nonprofit organization not a specific legal form with a legal jurisdiction.

Use cases with grouping[edit]

Could someone help me finding statistics or create a query to find out entity types that this property is most popular to use with?

Mills, none of constraint[edit]

I've removed a none of constraint on types of mills - diff - which I think was added by Romaine. Reading their talk page I get the impression there is some misunderstanding about mill, the grinding device, and mill, the factory complex. Whatever: I don't see that the constraint is at all useful. A paper mill - factory that makes paper - should IMO have a P31 of paper mill (Q918088) and there's no good reason to hide the domain - paper - in has use (P366). --Tagishsimon (talk) 22:03, 27 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Tagishsimon, The constraint is not about the paper factory. The earlier situation you link to had been solved at the time.
