Wikidata:Property proposal/visible by means of
visible by means of
Originally proposed at Wikidata:Property proposal/Generic
| Description | items of interest can be visible through other items (e.g. webcams) |
|---|---|
| Data type | Item |
| Allowed values | type of linked items: Q template |
| Example | a water well such as Mosaikbrunnen (Q27229889) might be live-visible on a web cam such as NZZ WebCam (Q53678107) |
| Planned use | after the WVZ data set import (https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q53629101), we want to mark the fountains that are visible live on the webcams of the city |
| See also | offers view on (P3173), webcam page URL (P4238) |
Motivation
When people want to see an item of interest real time through the internet, this gives them a hint how to do so. Another application may be tourist binoculars available in many city- or mountain-viewpoints. – The preceding unsigned comment was added by Ralfhauser (talk • contribs) at 03:19, May 18, 2018 (UTC).
"offers view on" (P3173) appears to be the reciprocal approach.
Probably, there is yet another property needed "in focus of URL" because the webcam URL is only likely to give access to the webcam, but some webcams hopefully allow to specifiy by means of an url also what (i.e. which direction, focus, zoom) they should point
Discussion
Support This is a great example of documenting unusual physical relationships thanks to Wikidata. Matthew (talk) 08:22, 18 May 2018 (UTC)
Comment you could do it like this NZZ WebCam (Q53678107)offers view on (P3173)Mosaikbrunnen (Q27229889) without the need of a new property--Pasleim (talk) 16:28, 18 May 2018 (UTC)- See webcam page URL (P4238). Thierry Caro (talk) 17:37, 18 May 2018 (UTC)
Oppose per @Pasleim:'s suggestion that doesn't require the creation of a new property. Dhx1 (talk) 13:49, 6 June 2018 (UTC)
@Ralfhauser, Onbike, Pasleim, Thierry Caro, Dhx1: 
Not done. Lacking consensus for more than three months and no support since issues of overlapping properties were exposed. Thanks in any case! --abián 13:00, 31 August 2018 (UTC)
