Hi Finn, this is a question if an enhancement list this makes sense. It's doesn't seem to slow down the query and answers the worry that articles are the major part of the Wikidata items.

Is the description correct? What is a Thing? Couldn't a Thing be a class without P31? Why not "instances"?

egonw commented 8 months ago

Yeah, I like the idea of "Number of instances"!

fnielsen commented 8 months ago

I merge it anyway :)

egonw commented 8 months ago

I merge it anyway :)

As gatekeeper, that's totally up to you :)

PS. happy to see you like the idea and thanks for merging!

What is owl:Thing anyway? Would that be every item in Wikidata?

"thing" even goes deeper, all the way to RDF, see https://www.w3.org/TR/rdf11-concepts/#resources-and-statements
