Hi Sandra, Sjoerd and Wikidatans, In what ways would it be possible to add particular place qualifiers/claims/properties (incorporating Wikidata Geodata) to be linked with new time claims you suggest such as seasons or quarters ... for eventual use in an eventual film-realistic, 3D, interactive, group-build-able wiki virtual earth?
