public enum StatementRank extends Enum<StatementRank>
Enum for the possible ranks of Wikibase Statements. Ranks are used to compare Statements that have the same subject and main-snak property.

By default, Statements are of "normal" rank. The rank "preferred" can be given to Statements that should be preferred when using the data without more specific selection criteria (for example, there can be many population numbers for one city, but only the most current/accurate one should be shown by default, hence it should be preferred). The rank "deprecated" is used for Statements that should not normally be considered, but which are still stored for some reason (maybe because their status is disputed or because they record a known wrong claim of a respected source).
