   Done: parent (P8810) (Talk and documentation)

Motivation

edit

I propose this property as a superproperty (superclass) for father (P22) and mother (P25). It can be linked with subproperty of (P1647) to those two other properties. I explicitly do not propose the removal or transfer of any values currently stored in the properties father (P22) and mother (P25).

  1. This property will make it easier to write queries for requesting information about all parents of certain people together, because you can filter for any subproperty of this property.
  2. It can be linked to external properties, such as schema.org/parent.
  3. And in the exceptional and rare case, when the gender of a real or fictional being is unknown or neither male nor female, the parental relationship could be added using this property, and be queried together with all other parents.

Of course I can't add examples for my first and second reasons for this property, but that does not matter, the main point of this property is making queries easier. (But nevertheless, I did find an example for my third reason. Feel free to add more examples.) Robin van der Vliet (talk) (contribs) 00:00, 25 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
