Abstract

Wikidata has a class hierarchy via the instance of (P31) and subclass of (P279) properties, but often these are applied inconsistently. Some of the most obvious problems are listed under Wikidata:WikiProject Ontology/Problems, but many other issues have been raised in Project Chat and elsewhere. In this workshop participants will discuss these problems and how to fix them, and will take charge in executing those fixes either immediately or in subsequent days depending on the scale of the fix required.

What will attendees take away from this session?
  1. A better understanding of how to properly use our class relationship properties (see also Help:Basic Membership Properties)
  2. A feeling of responsibility and knowledge of how to find and address class hierarchy problems in Wikidata
  3. A cleaner ontology for everybody who uses Wikidata
