I think perhaps that "property type" here doesn't mean "intellectual
property", but wikidata / field types.
However, if it is "intellectual property", in the US a citation would
likely not be copyrightable, as it is purely factual information arranged
in a standard format.

Something that I thought about when going over
this is citations. What
property type - if any - are Citations?
Ususally a citation is not fundamental to an article. It's very possible
that two different language will cite one article differently. Yet in the
cases that either a) two languages share a citation, or b) there is a
"seminal" work on the topic, it might be worth having a Citation property
to point to in Wikidata.
What's the best way to handle this? I would think that you could have a
citation datatype which is a "Pair" the first part of the pair, is the
mode of the citation, and the second half would be another
wikidata-property. So if you were citing a book, you'd have
Book (Cite mode) | author, edition, isbn (wikidata property)
I don't know if that's encompassing enough. Thoughts?

I don't understand if this is or will be in a "poll" phase or not.
Also, what exactly should be done about this mess of proposals for item
types?
