This data model would involve:

  • Creating a "has population" property to relate a region with the group of humans (Q16334295) that live there.
  • Changing the name of number of parts of this work (P2635) to "number of parts" and expanding its scope beyond works to all types of groups.
  • Creating a "has group" property to relate a group of things with the possible groupings of its parts. This property should only be used to relate a subgroup with its closest-possible higher-classified group. For example, "humans in the United States" item should not have has groupBlack Catholics in the United States but "Catholics in the United States" and "Blacks in the United States" should. The exception for this is if no item for a higher class group has not been created yet.
  • All population groups will be instance of (P31)group of humans (Q16334295) to ensure data model consistency and they will use describing properties on the groups to differentiate them.
