simulate[edit]
Originally proposed at Wikidata:Property proposal/Generic
| Description | the element imitates or makes the value of the property appear real |
|---|---|
| Data type | Item |
| Example 1 | artificial heart (Q126888) --> heart (Q1072) |
| Example 2 | firefighting training (Q1308851) --> firefighting (Q897825) |
| Example 3 | truck simulation video game (Q19683436) --> truck (Q43193) |
Motivation[edit]
I'm very surprised that such a property doesn't exist. In fact, I've noticed that the "does / simulates" functionality of certain elements (including those given as examples) can't be clearly described using the available properties. That's why I'm proposing this property. YotaMoteuchi (talk) 00:47, 21 August 2023 (UTC)
Discussion[edit]
Comment What's wrong with represents (P1268)? -wd-Ryan (Talk/Edits) 16:26, 21 August 2023 (UTC)
- It can be subtle, but for me, represents (P1268) is a property that indicates what the element represents (among the examples given, the Apple logo represents Apple and a literary agent represents a writer), not what it simulates (the Apple logo can't simulate Apple, it's just a logo ; on the other hand, we know which brand it is when we see its logo; the same goes for the literary agent, whose role is not to replace or simulate a writer, but simply to represent him to publishers and the press...) I hope this clarification answers your question and better explains why I want to create this property. YotaMoteuchi (talk) 19:17, 21 August 2023 (UTC)
- I can kind of see the difference now, thanks! -wd-Ryan (Talk/Edits) 14:39, 22 August 2023 (UTC)
- Comment I am a bit confused about example 2. Does firefighting training (Q1308851) simule conflagration (Q168983) and not firefighting (Q897825)? /ℇsquilo 06:06, 30 August 2023 (UTC)
- Yes, you're totally right! I will correct this. Thanks for your advice! YotaMoteuchi (talk) 05:29, 2 September 2023 (UTC)
