has someone looked into the use of CIDOC CRM terms in wikidata? I noticed a few similarities in the wikidata vocabulary to terms used in the CIDOC CRM.
for example beginning of existence (Q23956340) https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q23956340 with the following scope note: class of events that cause the emergence of persistent items the item, a term used by wikidata, was created by Christopher H. Johnson a Researcher at the Akademie der Wissenschaften zu Göttingen on 1 May 2016 as a subclass of single event (Q29818016), itself a subclass of event (Q1190554). I think it is a good thing when wikidata authors make use of the Erlangen CRM or the CIDOC CRM respectively in the creation of the wikidata vocabulary / items but I equally would also like to "encourage" them to reference the use of the CIDOC CRM standard. last but not least to improve the quality of content on wikidata. I have observed the practice on wikidata to use the equivalent property (P1628) to establish the link to external URIs. e.g. instance of -> rdf:type https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Property:P31 what are your thoughts on this? best, Marco -- --- Marco Neumann KONA
