Wikidata defines domain and range constraints for its drug used for treatment 
(P2176)<https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Property:P2176> property, which seems 
like a nice probabilistic compromise compared to description logic.

If the property is misused, the system will report constraint violations in the 
UI and in reports:

Dear Sir,
I thank you for your answer. I thank you as well for your comments. Concerning 
the description logics layer, it is mainly needed to find inconsistency or 
disagreement between Wikidata statements. As I had shown in Wikimania 2019, if 
X is a drug for Y and Y is a drug for X then one of these two defined 
statements is wrong. Concerning the ontology for the stages of diseases, it can 
be involved if I have a research paper as a reference for each Wikidata 
statement.
Yours Sincerely,

2. .I ask if Wikidata can involve a description logics layer for properties 
that can be later used to find data inconsistencies within Wikidata.

This exactly one of the use cases we use ShEx for, i.e. inconsistency or 
disagreement between resources. Wikidata does not reflect the true, but 
(partly) reflect what other resources describe on a selected matter. There are 
many examples of Wikidata where different items state opposite statements.  
This is fine. Any issue known on Wikidata, provided the references are correct 
and the values are not distorted in the ingestion process, basically needs to 
be discussed with the primary source, not with Wikidata. ShEx provides the 
instrument to identify items relevant to your view, versus items disagreeing 
with your view on the matter.

4. We should either change CC-0 into CC-BY Licence or try to convince the 
creators of ontologies to change the licence of their works into CC-0.

I  am excited you are joining us in our quest for more CC0 data.    More and 
more data is adopting the CC0 license. I really like the following blog on the 
matter 
https://osc.universityofcalifornia.edu/2016/09/cc-by-and-data-not-always-a-good-fit/<https://osc.universityofcalifornia.edu/2016/09/cc-by-and-data-not-always-a-good-fit/>

7. I think that we should be an ontology for the stages of diseases.
Wikidata is not a primary source, point me to a ontology of stages of disease 
and I will add it to wikidata.
