TASK DESCRIPTION
  According to the 2020 report on Property constraints 
<https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:2020_report_on_Property_constraints> 
(T244043 <https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T244043>):
  
  > The name of this constraint type may be considered inaccurate or confusing 
for two reasons:
  >
  > - `rdf:type` is an RDF property to state that a resource is an instance of 
a class, but the "value type" constraint type is also used to specify that a 
resource should be a subclass of another class, for which `rdfs:subClassOf` is 
used instead;
  > - the word "type" is already used to refer to Property types (ExternalId, 
String, etc.), value types, entity types (Item, Lexeme, etc.) and, most 
confusingly, constraint types.
  >
  > The name "value class" is proposed, since this constraint type is used to 
specify the class of which the value is an instance or a subclass. Likewise, 
for the current "type" constraint type, the name "subject class" is proposed.
