Agree. *However*, there are some things where we may be able to say with confidence "Wikidata has a comprehensive set of X" (eg catalogues such as P1186). It might be worth thinking about whether we should record these identifier properties as "will always be incomplete", "probably complete", "expected to eventually be complete", etc. If a user queries for an ISBN we don't have, the chances are high that it's a good ISBN we don't cover - but if they query for a country code we don't have, the chances are high that it's an invalid code... -- - Andrew Gray andrew.g...@dunelm.org.uk _______________________________________________ Wikidata mailing list Wikidata@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikidata
