  • These are linked using has part(s) (P35) / part of (P17).
• session (Q22726) can be either of hybrid event (Q79), in-person event (Q80), online event (Q81). Thus, every session has two instance of (P5).
• session (Q22726) contains one or more of specific activities. For example, a session can contain three separate presentations, by different speakers, on the same topic. What brings them together is that they are grouped as one session in the program.

  • Example: Wikidata for cultural heritage (Q22701), which contains 3 presentations. Compare the description in the conference program.
