Hi Dario and All, Thanks, and per your "My thoughts on why we need a class to describe “(bibliographic) item collections” in @wikidata and @wikicite. Feedback welcome" - https://twitter.com/ReaderMeter/status/934204071870742528 (see reply here - https://twitter.com/WorldUnivAndSch/status/934570933372588032 ) - I wonder how to add a further "virtual place-based" component to this - beyond Wikidata geo-coordinates - since such collections (e.g. in all 8,444 entries in languages per Glottolog eventually, and over all history and pre-history) may become so numerous with time - given Wikimedia's mission of all knowledge - such that organizing such (bibliographic) items in collections within a realistic virtual earth (think Google Streetview/Maps/Earth with TIME SLIDER and group build-able like Minecraft) - e.g. for where an artist made such art works in the 1600s, or for museums that have numerous items of such a collection now, but didn't 100 years' ago ... and even eventually with avatar bots painting these again - may have much merit. (Wiki CC MIT OCW-centric World Univ & Sch is planning ALL Libraries and ALL Museums in each of all 8,444 languages in such a realistic virtual earth with TIME SLIDER).
