We can do it, but I'd rather we didn't. The reason is that it would require engine that queries such data (e.g. SPARQL engine) to be comfortable with cycles in property paths (especially ones with + and *), and not every one is (Blazegraph for example looks like does not handle them out of the box). It can be dealt with, I assume, but why create trouble for ourselves? > We also have/had cycles involving instance-of, which is definitely an > error. ;-) Right. So I think we need to mark properties that should not form cycles with https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q18647519 (asymmetric property) and have constraints checking scripts/bots find out such cases and alert about them. -- Stas Malyshev smalys...@wikimedia.org _______________________________________________ Wikidata mailing list Wikidata@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikidata
