Thad,
I actually don't see how using internal properties would go against
Wikidata policy. There is the requirement of notability, "
1. It fulfills *some structural need*, for example: it is needed to
make statements made in other items more useful." [1]
I might be wrong, but I would consider creating a new item to describe a
subclass, fulfilling a structural need.
Modelling classes and subclasses this way, also makes writing federated
queries where the WDQS is used in the SERVICE operator easier. I only need
to consider one wikidata property to bridge Wikidata with external sources,
and deal with child and parent classes in Wikidata.
Cheers,
Andra
