Add topicForms as a topic of studies in Uruguayan school curriculum
[edit]Hello, Charles!
Days ago you changed the statement
Q121551604 -> Main subject -> Q1335296
to
Q121551604 -> Main subject -> Q131466536
Why do you consider it should be modelled that way? I understand that the "study of" forms may sound more suitable to be included in the school curriculum. But I find it useful to have the "object" itself there (Q1335296) so that I can access the Wikipedia articles about it. Just checking your thoughts on it.

- @Piracalamina: Thanks for getting in touch. The change was part of a big project, aimed at separating two kinds of concepts: publication type/genre, and topics "in their own right". It came up initially in the context of clinical trial (Q130658837) and clinical trial (Q30612): we do really want to have a difference here between the published report on a clinical trial, and the clinical trial itself. For example, there are different MeSH descriptor ID (P486).
- Our ontology here should respect that distinction. In the case you mention, the MeSH vocabulary terms are "Form" (https://meshb.nlm.nih.gov/record/ui?ui=D020478) and "Forms as Topic" (https://meshb.nlm.nih.gov/record/ui?ui=D000078763). The point you make is that the sitelinks should be on the item for "Forms as Topic", which I created recently. I agree with you, and so I'll move the sitelinks to that item.

Copyright data for Q26773212?
[edit]Hi Charles! I noticed that you changed the copyright license of Effects of Alcohol on Tumor Growth, Metastasis, Immune Response, and Host Survival (Q26773212) from CC-0 to copyrighted, dedicated to the public domain by copyright holder (Q88088423), but I can't find details in the statement's reference to support either claim. Can you help me locate that information? Thanks! Waldyrious (talk) 10:54, 13 February 2025 (UTC)
- @Waldyrious: So on https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC4590626/ there appears the information "Unless otherwise noted in the text, all material appearing in this journal is in the public domain and may be reproduced without permission. Citation of the source is appreciated." When I say appears, you have to click the link "Copyright and License information" to see this. So the basis is the editorial policy of Alcohol research : current reviews (Q26842166), which is an NIH publication.
- When it comes to how we represent public domain as a license here (CC0, presumably), it is pretty confusing. Charles Matthews (talk) 11:12, 13 February 2025 (UTC)
- Understood! Indeed that's not an explicit dedication like CC0, but as you say, besides the ambiguity in this case, there's also some lack of clarity in how to model the information here in Wikidata. As far as I understand, copyrighted, dedicated to the public domain by copyright holder (Q88088423) meant to be used as a value for the copyright status, not the copyright license. So this item should be modeled as:
- copyright status (P6216)copyrighted, dedicated to the public domain by copyright holder (Q88088423) (instead of copyright status (P6216)copyrighted (Q50423863) as it currently is)
- copyright license (P275)unknown value Help
