Hello, I wanted to get an overview of all the properties used boy the instance Painting (https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q3305213) for further mapping with the Europeana Data Model. My initial thought that I would find a representative list at http://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:WikiProject_Visual_arts/Item_structure but in fact I have found much more properties used in association with painting. So I was wondering whether it would be a good idea to update the template mentioned above with the additional properties. I think it would be really interesting for GLAMs to have access to to representative templates listing all the properties used for a given type of objects. It would help them to understand Wikidata and to compare it with their own data. I think it would also help mappings activities. I on behalf of Europeana would be happy to help in this task and also facilitate the discussions with GLAMs around Wikidata.
What do you think?
