## Wikidata Integration

### Query Development Needed
Create SPARQL query for T-class institutions:
- `data/wikidata/GLAMORCUBESFIXPHDNT/T/sparql/taste_smell_hyponyms.sparql`

### Wikidata Classes to Query
- Q11707 (restaurant)
- Q1802801 (perfumery)
- Q10373548 (distillery)
- Q131734 (brewery)
- Q4287745 (food establishment)
- Historic food production facilities

### Hyponym Extraction Strategy
```sparql
# Example T-class query structure
SELECT DISTINCT ?item ?itemLabel ?itemDescription WHERE {
  VALUES ?baseClass { wd:Q11707 wd:Q1802801 wd:Q10373548 }
  ?item wdt:P31/wdt:P279* ?baseClass .
  # Filter for heritage/historic establishments
  ?item wdt:P571 ?inception .
  FILTER(YEAR(?inception) < 1950)  # Historic threshold
}
```

## Integration with Intangible Heritage

The T-class complements the I-class (Intangible Heritage Groups):

- **I-class**: Organizations performing/transmitting intangible heritage (dance, music, oral traditions)
- **T-class**: Institutions preserving tangible sensory heritage (recipes, formulations, techniques)

### Example Distinction
- **I-class**: Traditional cooking demonstration group, oral recipe transmission project
- **T-class**: Historic restaurant serving traditional dishes, parfumerie maintaining historic formulations

## Next Steps

1. **Query Development**: Create Wikidata SPARQL query for T-class institutions
2. **Vocabulary Curation**: Build multilingual terminology list for culinary/olfactory heritage
3. **Classification Guidelines**: Document criteria for T vs I vs M classification
4. **Extraction Pipeline**: Add T-class pattern recognition to NLP extractors
5. **Data Collection**: Identify candidate institutions from:
   - Historic restaurant databases
   - Traditional food producer registries
   - Perfume heritage associations
   - Slow Food movement institutions
