Motivation[edit]

The FISH Archaeological Objects Thesaurus (Q74829009) is a hierarchical linked open data vocabulary of archaeological concepts for the UK and Ireland. It is supported by English Heritage and is based on the work of the SENESCHAL (Q111508363) Project, which in turn encompasses the "flat" string-based vocabulary used by the Portable Antiquities Scheme (Q3398729). The SENESCHAL URIs provided by PAS link to the FISH Archaeological Objects Thesaurus. The FISH Archaeological Objects Thesaurus provides SKOS structured concepts such as "broader", "narrower", "prefLabel" and "altLabel" for items in the PAS; I have used FISH as a reference source for mapping PAS items in Wikidata (although not religiously, as some altLabels used by FISH represent components or other types of subclasses, rather than aliases as we use them - see Sword for example).

Adding the FISH Object numeric identifiers would make linking to this database much cleaner. The PAS identifiers are 88% matched to Wikidata and I expect the mapping to be essentially complete by mid-April. Note that there is also a FISH Archaeological Science Thesaurus, so we should use the full name as the default. PKM (talk) 00:07, 6 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
