Originally proposed at Wikidata:Property proposal/Generic

   Done: nanopublication identifier (P12545) (Talk and documentation)

Description	Nanopublications are small RDF-based publications, quite similar to Wikidata Statements with references and history.
Data type	URL
Example 1	In Peer Review of “Representing Physician Suicide Claims as Nanopublications: Proof-of-Concept Study Creating Claim Networks” (Q113714815), the cites work (P2860) statement has a reference URL (P854) pointing to a nanopublication with the identifier https://w3id.org/np/RA6wqN781afnw9MCELf91flw-TI9ahfdRE9a6tldbI-5c
Example 2	In 21'-Oxovobtusine (Q82054121), the second found in taxon (P703) statement has a reference URL (P854) pointing to a nanopublication with the identifier http://purl.org/np/RAtD9MFh9nso72l76ntW7V7_i5FhFE19Ze9M5OArIyxGI
Example 3	In JChemPaint - Using the Collaborative Forces of the Internet to Develop a Free Editor for 2D Chemical Structures (Q27093381), the first two cites work (P2860) statements have a reference URL (P854) pointing to a nanopublication with the identifier https://w3id.org/np/RA34aIkyvBIGVA9iyxgFVBHfBtELL0H_3ZvCMvYPi6nGc
Example 4	In wolf (Q18498), the taxon range (P9714) statement for Switzerland (Q39) has a reference URL (P854) pointing to a nanopublication with the identifier http://purl.org/np/RAiFLITGOJXQhZ4ic6R7WcyzNdKwC68m8yGwhyjUCQ874
Expected completeness	always incomplete (Q21873886)
See also	reference URL (P854)

Motivation

nanopublication (Q57814310) s are are small RDF-based publications, quite similar to Wikidata Statements with references and history. Because of their rich semantics, they are easy to work with. Nanopublications contain facts, and as such I am looking at being able to cite them. I do not wish nanopublications to be items in Wikidata, but I do like them to be citable. A simple model could have them as values of reference URL (P854) but that does not have the semantics that the resulting page is a nanopublication. This could be solved by having a new property. It could be a subclass of reference URL (P854). The identifier is both an external identifier and URL (there is no 'identifier' part or URL pattern), but I opt for the last. This property is intended to be used in references (like reference URL (P854)), not in statements (like DOIs).

The added semantics of this property makes querying for nanopublications as reference a lot easier, because there is no URL pattern and the filtering in this Scholia patch is unbound: https://github.com/WDscholia/scholia/pull/2432/files

•  Support This seems reasonable as a more specific type of reference URL. ArthurPSmith (talk) 18:28, 4 March 2024 (UTC)
