FactGrid:Freemasonry data model
Wikibase is an extremely flexible software. We can create practically any form of statements on any sort of objects. There are, actually, no "sorts" of objects, just objects of knowledge under Q-Numbers (called "items"). They win qualities through the various statements we make on them — they state "properties" of the objects through P-numbers.
The open and versatile arrangements allows us to set "labels" and "descriptions" in various languages on both our Q-numbers of items and our P-numbers of properties.
While we can create any statement for any item we should accumulate statements in a wider system so that searches get conclusive answers for the whole field of items we are handling — like our several thousands of lodges. This page is there to collect wider agreements on how we make certain statements in the complex sphere of Freemasonry.
