Hoi, Semantics prove what? Your excercise with pizza has me wonder what you call food. The definition of food as in the French Wikipedia is not an argument for me. My understanding of French is not sufficient and, arguably any language has its own approach. Thanks, GerardM On 18 October 2015

Consistency and well foundedness. It's acutally pretty confortable that the basic object we're classyfing are concrete stuffs. The diary of Ann Franck as a Work is more an abstract object. This ensure that we always indeed are trying to class concrete object at the base of the classification

Hi Stas, Yes, P31 is always rdf:type and P279 is always rdfs:subClassOf in RDF/OWL exports that use the community interpretation of those properties. If those exports want to be decidable then they'll need to omit claims that use P31 or P279 as qualifiers -- which some of Markus's RDF/OWL

The main problem is that Instance Of is not being used properly sometimes. In general, wrong classifications across Wikidata lead to weird assumptions. Better documentation, and even helper rules to help prevent wrong classifications is what is needed and its forthcoming. Lydia has mentioned

Hi Peter, The community-defined meaning of *subclass of* (P279) is that of rdfs:subClassOf [1]. Similarly, the community-defined meaning of *instance of* (P31) is that of rdf:type [2, 3]. There are some open problems with how to handle qualifiers on *instance of* and *subclass of* in RDF/OWL

Yes, in the pizza example Emw showed, the definition of "food" is important. If what I ate this morning is a food, then pizza is a subclass of food. This is consistent with the first sentence of https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nourriture of frwiki. And the fact that "pizza" is an instance of food is
