Dario's 1-3 is fine by me. Rather than P361 (part of), I think - as James Heald - that P972 (catalog) would be better. It is also used for artworks, for instance,

https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q44015154 P972 https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q42661788

I see P972 and the associated identifier P528 as a kind of lightweight external identifier.

If the external dataset is available in RDF, then I suppose skos:exactMatch (P2888) can be used.

For some items available in other databases I have used "external data available at" P1325. But the semantics of that require some data at the other end.

Like others in this thread, I would caution *against* overloading P31 "instance of" if possible.

When a somewhat similar issue came up, re how to artists that were of interest the the "Black Lunch Table" project https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q28781198 that works on coverage of visual artists of the African diaspora, the solution adopted (after quite a vigorous debate at Project Chat) was to use property P972 "catalog" with the value Q28781198 to mark artists that were of interest to the project.

A similar approach could be used here, if a project has a list of works of interest, that it would be valuable to record inclusion in.

Best regards,

I can't see anything that needs any kind of special structure at the entity
level. Not even sure whether we need a new container for this, claims are
already unordered containers.

I'd like to propose a fairly simple solution and hear your feedback on
whether it makes sense to implement it as is or with some modifications.

create a Wikidata class called "Wikidata item collection" [Q-X]

This sounds like Wikimedia categories, as used on Wikipedia and
Wikimedia Commons.
