Roger, Depends on what you are trying to do. I taking a stance that most of the time there's no need to tell a machine that something is historical if you can reconcile the entity before hand and provide data about that. Most machines will know and understand (if they are decently built and programmed) to know that "Battle of Gettysburg" is a historical event. There's no need to tell most machines that... HistoricalEvent: Battle of Gettysburg if you could possibly reconcile your entities (your welcome to use my community's latest OpenRefine against Wikidata for that) and instead of providing Strings...provide Things... HistoricalEvent: "Battle of Gettysburg sameAs: https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q33132 Machines can easily find out lots of information by parsing Wikipedia itself like Google does, if you provide a sameAs url, or perhaps even better a Wikidata or DBPedia url. Giving us a better example of what you are trying to do would be most appreciated by all. My hunch is that you don't so much care about "Battle of Gettysburg" but relations around it ? What are those relations that you trying to establish ? That it was partOf: American Civil War ? What else ? Help us and we can help you, -Thad
