I've noticed that many of the items in Wikidata have as their root item (via combinations of subclass-of, instance-of, and part-of relationships) the item named "entity" (Q35120). For example, the musical note named "E♭" is rooted at "entity" via various paths, including the following:
E♭ (Q633464) instance-of note (Q263478) part-of musical notation (Q233861) part-of music (Q638) subclass-of art (Q735) subclass-of process (Q3249551) subclass-of event (Q1190554) subclass-of entity (Q35120) I have the following questions related to the example above: 1) Is the intent that all items in Wikidata have as their root item (via combinations of subclass-of, instance-of, and part-of relationships) the item named "entity" (Q35120)? 2) Is it the intent that any item (e.g. music) that is a subclass-of another item (e.g. art), have as its root item (via only subclass-of relationships) the item named "entity" (Q35120)? To summarize these questions as they apply to a project on which I'm working: Given a tree that has as its root the item named "entity" (Q35120), would/should it be possible to navigate from the root to every item (QXXXXXXX) in the Wikidata database?
