mkroetzsch added a comment. @Smalyshev My suggestion was just about the surface appearance, not about the inner workings. I am saying that the following two phrases have the same structure:
- "Find things with a *sitelink* that *has badge* *featured*". - "Find things with a *population* that has *point in time* *2014*". If you look at it like this, you use "badge" like a (special) qualifier property and "featured" like a value. This does not mean that the query answering will be any less efficient than with another syntax. The query engine would easily parse the queries in any case, without ambiguity, and know that sitelinks are (possibly) stored in a different way internally. Same for labels. The reason I was suggesting this unification here was that it also somehow answers the question "what do we mean by 'indexing' this data?": any query that would work over statements would also be expected to work for sitelinks, even if different structures are used internally.
