instance of (P31)[edit]
| Title | ID | Data type | Description | Examples | Inverse |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| instance of with qualifier start time | P580 | Point in time | start time: time an entity begins to exist or a statement starts being valid | LimeWire <instance of> abandonware <start time> 27 October 2010 | - |
If an software is not longer maintained, abandonware (Q281039) should be used as instance of (P31) with qualifiers start time (P580), end time (P582) (if the software was unmaintained) or point in time (P585) (if no period is know).
software version identifier (P348)[edit]
| Title | ID | Data type | Description | Examples | Inverse |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| software version identifier | P348 | String | software version and version number: numeric or nominal identifier of a version of a software program or file format, current or past | Bugzilla <software version identifier> 4.5.1 | - |
The latest version should be marked as preferred and the other as normal rank (not deprecated because the statement don't become false when a new version is published). Old versions should not be removed because this historical aspect is interesting (it could be used to automatically create graphics). (todo)
version type[edit]
| Title | ID | Data type | Description | Examples | Inverse |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| software version identifier with qualifier version type | P548 | Item | software version type: type of version (qualifier for P348, software version), e.g. alpha, beta, stable | Bugzilla <software version identifier> 5.1.1 <version type> beta version | - |
The version type should generally not be changed. As example : in September the version 0.0.3 is published as a beta and in October the version 0.0.3 is published as a stable version. Two statements should be created:
- version : 0.0.3 beta
- version type : beta
- publication date : 19 September 2016
- (references for the beta publication : the newsletter published the 20 September 2016)
- version : 0.0.3
- version type : stable version
- publication date : 14 October 2016
- (references for the stable publication : the news letter published the 16 October 2016)
(todo)
publication date[edit]
| Title | ID | Data type | Description | Examples | Inverse |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| software version identifier with qualifier publication date | P577 | Point in time | publication date: date or point in time when a work was first published or released | Bugzilla <software version identifier> 5.1.1 <publication date> 16 May 2016 | - |
The publication date may vary slightly depending on the source and the most reliable one should be preferred. For instance, if a git tag is set to v1.2 on July, 3rd 2016 and a blog post announced it July, 5th 2016, the date of the tag should be used.
streaming media URL[edit]
| Title | ID | Data type | Description | Examples | Inverse |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| software version identifier with qualifier streaming media URL | P963 | URL | streaming media: URL where the subject's media stream exists | CAPD library <software version identifier> 4.2.153 <streaming media URL> https://sourceforge.net/projects/capd/files/4.2.153/src/capd-4.2.153.tar.gz | - |
If the software is bundled into a file that can be downloaded, the URL to download this bundle should be set as the streaming media URL (P963). If, for a given version, there are multiple URLs for various architectures or platforms, they can all be mentioned. If only one streaming media URL (P963) is mentioned, the one including the source code should be preferred, when possible. See CAPD library (Q5008740) for instance.
Digital Object Identifier[edit]
| Title | ID | Data type | Description | Examples | Inverse |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| software version identifier with qualifier DOI | P356 | External identifier | serial code used to uniquely identify digital objects like academic papers (use upper case letters only) | Chemistry Development Kit <software version identifier> 1.5.13 <DOI> 10.5281/zenodo.50388 | - |
title[edit]
| Title | ID | Data type | Description | Examples | Inverse |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| software version identifier with qualifier title | P1476 | Monolingual text | original title and title: name of the version | Swfdec <software version identifier> 0.9.2 <title> Bloxorz | - |
When a release is not only published under a release version number but also has a name.
application programming interface (Q165194) is part of (P361) a software (Q7397)[edit]
A subclass of (P279) an application programming interface (Q165194) is part of (P361) the software (Q7397) that implements it. See OSM API (Q25822543) for instance.
Qualifiers[edit]
P794 (P794) mirror storage (Q654822)[edit]
property does not exist. Use "id=new" if it's to be created.| Title | ID | Data type | Description | Examples | Inverse |
|---|
When a source code repository URL (P1324) or official website (P856) is a mirror storage (Q654822), it should have the P794 (P794) mirror storage (Q654822) qualifier as shown above. When there are more than one possible source for such a mirror (for instance when there are multiple authoritative source code repository URL (P1324) or official website (P856) for a given item), the URL from which it is mirrored should be set as the reference URL (P854) in the reference/source section of the item. See id Tech 3 (Q263952) for an example of a mirror of a source code repository URL (P1324).
For more information about the rationale for this convention, see the mirror URL discussion.
Sources / References[edit]
retrieved (P813)[edit]
The retrieved (P813) date relates to the information in the reference section of the claim or the value of the claim itself. Although it can be set by an editor, it is most useful when running a bot (such as User:FLOSSbot) to schedule automated verifications on a regular basis. For instance, the source code repository URL (P1324) URLs can be verified to be usable to obtain the sources every 30 days.
RfC ID (P892)[edit]
The RfC ID (P892) property is used to link to an item in Request for Comments, a publication of IETF and the Internet Society (without "RFC" prefix).
ISO standard (P503)[edit]
The ISO standard (P503) property is used to indicate the ISO standard which normalizes the item.
standard UNIX utility / IEEE Std 1003.1, 2013[edit]
A number of utilities such as chmod are standard UNIX utility or command (Q18343316) AKA IEEE Std 1003.1, 2013. The matching item should be an instance of (P31) standard UNIX utility or command (Q18343316) with a reference to the matching http://opengroup.org page. If there exists a software that implements this standard (GNU Core Utilities (Q1348204) for instance), the utility should be set to be part of (P361) of it. See chmod (Q310986) for a showcase.
