Motivation

[edit]

TaDiRAH is a taxonomy containing terms to describe digital research activities in the humanities. It was developed with the aim to structure information relevant to digital humanities, thus enhancing discoverability of any tools, methods, projects, or publications related to digital humanities research. Example projects using TaDiRAH concepts are the DH Course Registry, Doing Digital Humanities - A DARIAH Bibliography, and the Standardisation Survival Kit by PARTHENOS.

Including the TaDiRAH ID in Wikidata would allow to profit from other already present mappings and also help in e.g. finding relevant publications included in Wikidata. On the other hand the usefulness of TaDiRAH itself would be increased. Mtrognitz (talk) 09:50, 7 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Discussion

[edit]

Oh, wow this did go quicker than I expected! Thank you for your support. However, I am not creating the property right away, because yesterday I came to know, that TaDiRAH is going to change host (here is a blog post in German about it: https://dhd-blog.org/?p=13108). This will affect the formatter URL (it will be something like this: https://vocabs.dariah.eu/tadirah) and very likely also the identifying part for each concept won't stay the same. I'll keep an eye on the development and will update the 'allowed values' and 'formatter URL' respectively. Mtrognitz (talk) 16:07, 16 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

It's been about a month, any SITREP? We can always create and update the URL format later, as long as the $1 doesn't change. (Given the backlogs in the WD:PP/Authority control, I think we'd rather reduce the number of pages transcluded in that page. — regards, Revi 12:58, 12 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
I got into contact. They are still working on the publication with the new host. And from what I gather everything seems to indicate a change of $1, which is why I would prefer to wait. Especially given that they are also planning on turning off the current host. Mtrognitz (talk) 09:56, 14 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

 Oppose 121 is a very low number, and does not usually justify a property. Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 18:46, 14 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]


Update: The vocabulary was published at its new host. IDs changed from numbers to strings and the base url is also updated. Mtrognitz (talk) 13:34, 14 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

The vocabulary can be considered as stable now. Thus, the property is ready to be created. Mtrognitz (talk) 10:52, 15 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
