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

# 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
