P616

P616 is a property in Wikidata, a free and open knowledge base that can be read and edited by both humans and machines. It is used to indicate the date of a specific event, such as the date of a battle, the date of a treaty, or the date of a significant historical event. The property is typically used in conjunction with other properties, such as P31 (instance of) and P17 (country), to provide context and additional information about the event.

The date is typically formatted in the ISO 8601 standard, which uses the format YYYY-MM-DD. For example, the date of the Battle of Hastings, which took place on October 14, 1066, would be formatted as 1066-10-14. The property can also be used to indicate a range of dates, such as the dates of a war or a historical period.

P616 is an important property in Wikidata, as it allows users to easily search for and retrieve information about specific events. It is also used to generate timelines and other visualizations, which can help users to better understand the relationships between different events and historical periods. Overall, P616 is a valuable tool for anyone interested in history, genealogy, or any other field that relies on accurate and up-to-date information about specific events.
