--- Comment #1 from soulkeeper.wikipe...@gmail.com ---
Very important functionality IMO. Two possible, realistic, use cases:
1) We have an infobox in the article about sunflower (Q171497). We want to show
that Linnaeus (Q1043) is the author of this species. Because this is botany, we
don't want the infobox in Q171497 to show Linnaeus' full name.
Instead we want the infobox to show the "botanist author abbreviation"
(Property:P428) from the external item Q1043. In other words, we need to be
able to get the value of a property of a different item than the article in
question.
2) The species sunflower belongs to the genus Helianthus which belongs to the
tribe Heliantheae which belongs to the subfamily Helianthoideae which belongs
to the family Asteraceae which belongs to the order Asterales which belongs to
the unranked (!) group Asterids which belongs to the unranked group Eudicots
which belongs to the unranked group Angiosperms which belongs to the kingdom
Plantae.
Storing all this information in Q171497 plus all of sunflower's close relatives
requires a proverbial ton of redundancy in the data. I would much prefer to be
able to traverse the items in at least 10 or 20 levels, to get the relevant
name, rank, and possibly some other information from each group/level in the
hierarchy. All this will be displayed in the infobox of sunflower (Q171497).
