> > what's the usage of the Person class ? > 'Person' [1] should generally be avoided. For background, see the discussion about how to classify subjects like Coco Chanel in [2]. That's the basis for the note "not for use with P31, instead use Q5 human". Pretty much all the items that link to 'person' [3] shouldn't.
For fictional characters, the convention is to classify them as 'fictional character', e.g. as done for Jack Bauer [4]. There are some tricky knowledge representation issues with fictional entities. For example, how do we ensure that Harry Potter is not returned in a query for all people born in London in 1984? The fictional universes project [5] aims to address problems like that. 1) https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q215627 2) https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:Requests_for_comment/Migrating_away_from_GND_main_type#P31_value_for_things_like_Coco_Chanel 3) https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Special:WhatLinksHere/Q215627 4) https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q24 5) https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:Wikiproject_Fictional_universes On Sat, Feb 15, 2014 at 4:31 AM, Jane Darnell <[email protected]> wrote: > I would imagine it's for fictional characters like Little Red Riding > Hood, but I see that when I click on "What links here" while on page > Q215627 I see "Sleeping Beauty", but also roles and dead people.
