metasubclass of
relation between two metaclasses: instances of this metaclass are likely to be subclasses of classes that are instances of the target metaclass

misuse of this property

[edit]

There appears to be a lot of misuse of this property. The description says that instances of one are supposed to be subclasses of instances of the other. But there are quite a few situations like aircraft model (Q15056995) and aircraft family (Q15056993) where the two metaclasses necessarily have disjoint instances. I'm going to go through all the uses of this property and fix them up. Peter F. Patel-Schneider (talk) 15:55, 18 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]


Analysis of metasubclass of links

As of 19 June 2024 there were 64 main and 7 qualifier links for metasubclass of (P2445). All the qualifier links are examples and all of these are either not in Wikidata or are incorrect.

Of the 64 main links, at most 10 were valid. The other ones are incorrect for various reasons. There are some situations where the link appears to be reasonable but turn out to be modelling errors, notably product categories that are also products.



  Inst contains number of instances of Meta
  Common contains number of instances of Meta that are also instances of Super
  Subs contains number of instances of Meta that are also subclasses of instances of Super
  MOrder class order of Meta
  SOrder class order of Super
  -> Meta is an instance of Super
  => Meta is a subclass of Super
  Meta, MetaLabel give subject of metasubclass of link
  Super, SuperLabel give object of metasubclass of link
  
  Codes contains codes for reasons that the relationship is invalid
   I  Meta is an instance of Super
   S  Meta is a subclass of Super
   O  Meta has a different order than Super (using only correct order)
   C  Meta or Super is not a metaclass
   D  Deprecated comment on Meta or Super
   
   X  Super is unknown value
   E  Meta and Super have no instances
   *  - based on meta and super descriptions but relationship not in Wikidata, may have been added to Wikidata during analysis

description should be stronger

[edit]

The English description says "relation between two metaclasses: instances of this metaclass are likely to be subclasses of classes that are instances of the target metaclass". Why the "likely"? It seems to me that the instances should all be subclasses of instances of the target if this property is being used correctly. Peter F. Patel-Schneider (talk) 21:11, 19 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
