I agree that finding the right thing to use is not easy. However, I think that a uniform search space is better than a non-uniform one. I would much prefer to look through a collection of properties than a collection of properties and qualifiers. If I am writing a tool to help the process, I would much prefer to display a collection of properties than a collection of properties plus qualifiers. peter _______________________________________________ Wikidata mailing list Wikidata@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikidata
