Introduction

Header
Label*

Data type*
- Defines the type of data that can be entered in the property
- Needs to be chosen when creating the property and can’t be changed.
- Possible values are described in List datatypes
Used properties
Inverse property label (P232)
- Should reflect the opposite of the Label, in other words, if a label describes a relation, the inverse property should describe the inverse relation.
- Only used when a property has data type = item
- Generates a label in the pages the item refers to.
Inverse property (P58) !avoid!
- It is preferable to use an inverse property label in stead of an inverse property. Only to be used when it is obvious that a relation can be described from both sides.
- Should reflect the opposite of the property, in other words, if a label describes a relation, the inverse property should describe the inverse relation.
- Only used when a property has data type = item
- Generates a label in the pages the item refers to.
Property order* (P98)
- A number that defines the order of presentation of the properties.
- Becomes active only after a reset of the system
Property visible (P97)
- Used to limit the visibility of a property for the public.
- Possible values are
- Public

- Provides instructions to users on how to use the property
Property expected value (P52)
- Describes (in text) what values are expected.
Property expected value list (P119)

- For good functioning add also P135 to each item referred to
- (Pro memori: Related property (P235))

- For good functioning this needs to be added to each item that is referred to by P119
Property note (P42)

Wikidata property (P96)

Complementary property (P94)
