Motivation

Improving the entry for Marchioness disaster (Q6757026) I found this is apparently missing. We have the location of graves, but not memorials that I can find. Notable memorials can reference the event they commemorate, but this doesn't work for memorials to notable events that are not individually notable.

Why not just use taxon name (P225)? - Brya (talk) 03:53, 4 December 2013 (UTC)
I think P225 is not senseful - instead of a plain string, it should of course connect to the item (aka concept). Nonetheless - I'm not sure if a new taxonomic-specific property is required which itself is used only as qualifier but not used as property in the taxonomic model itself. Either, you could use P89 (P89) which we already have or - what I propose - an even more general property - for example something like "applied to". But I have to confess that I do not see the overall Wikidata qualifier model yet. Nonetheless, in combination with your property "lethal dose" a more generic qualifier property could IMHO be sufficient.  — Felix Reimann (talk) 11:40, 4 December 2013 (UTC)
I don't really see why not. But perhaps the intent is to indicate one of a few model organisms (there are not all that many different ones used, I believe) and then it might work to have a property with a few pre-defined values? - Brya (talk) 17:55, 4 December 2013 (UTC)
 Support I think it would be useful as a qualifier for items like nodding disease (Q895930). In the statement for "possible causes" the qualifier for the parasite is not always a species. So a more general qualifier would be good. --Tobias1984 (talk) 10:27, 9 December 2013 (UTC)
Still, I believe that for the lethal dose example, a more general qualifier would be sufficient. You would have my support there. However, for your example, Tobias, wouldn't you need to propose a property "possible cause" which than can have taxa as well as for example toxic substances as target, i.e., the proposed property would not work.  — Felix Reimann (talk) 16:37, 9 December 2013 (UTC)
@FelixReimann: I am still uncertain about a lot of connections between medicine and the rest of the Wikidata-space, so I can only give you bad answers. The property "possible cause" is already created and in my example (nodding disease (Q895930)) I linked it to "parasitic disease". But linking directly to the parasite or toxic would be possible too. There is still a lot to figure out. --Tobias1984 (talk) 21:28, 9 December 2013 (UTC)
 Oppose P89 (P89) is enough. Snipre (talk) 15:35, 12 December 2013 (UTC)
@Snipre: But not everything we want to link is a species. So either we have to rename it or create another property. --Tobias1984 (talk) 16:03, 12 December 2013 (UTC)
Now I am confused. In the example given we saw a model organism in which a certain test result was obtained, but apparently the discussion is now about vectors?
        These look like two quite different things to me. Medical and pharmaceutical testing uses a quite limited number of model organisms, which are often quite special. Rabbits used for tests are not comparable to rabbits in general, let alone wild rabbits. A new property for this seems possible, although it should not be called "taxon", as these often have nothing to do with taxa, but are man-made organisms.
        On the other hand vectors which transmit diseases are wild animals, in no way distinguishable from others of the same species. For these "taxon name" still seems the straightforward option. - Brya (talk) 17:38, 12 December 2013 (UTC)
@Tobias1984: I agree for the question of the name of the property P89 (P89) but in the toxicity framework they don't considered the real species only the type of animal. Here we can consider different ways of using P89 (P89) according to the data we want to save. Snipre (talk) 12:46, 29 January 2014 (UTC)
 Comment. This property would need a more specific name; "taxon" is too ambiguous. I agree with Felix that something like "applies to", or perhaps "observed in", would be preferable if we want to capture this information in a qualifier claim.
On the other hand, we should also be mindful that qualifiers will not be queryable for the foreseeable future. So taxon-specific LD properties might be a better way to model this data, since then all the values will be queryable. Lethal dose (LD) properties for different taxa like those in GZWDer's example can be clustered together by automated statement ordering. The relationship between them can be formally captured with 'subproperty of' statements in the property's documentation template. Emw (talk) 05:38, 1 February 2014 (UTC)

@John Vandenberg, Emw, FelixReimann, Brya, Snipre, Tobias1984: I have changed the name to "applies to taxon", in consonance with other properties like applies to part (P518) and applies to jurisdiction (P1001).

@Micru: Instead of creating a new property shouldn't we merge applies to part (P518) and applies to jurisdiction (P1001) a one with the label applied to and use this new property for our case ? In the case of interest taxon is not very understandable. Snipre (talk) 09:21, 9 July 2014 (UTC)
@Snipre: I think that is a good idea. I had nominated applies to jurisdiction (P1001) for deletion, probably we can convert applies to part (P518) into a generic "applies to" property and merge both. Then this property wouldn't be necessary.--Micru (talk) 09:48, 9 July 2014 (UTC)

@Emw, Wylve: WikiProject Chemistry has this property listed under multilingual-text-dataype. I too think, that string is a bad idea because the IUPAC naming convention exists for many languages. Currently we only have mono-lingual available as datatype. I am still not sure what the difference of multi- and monolingual will be, but we should decide for one of them. --Tobias1984 (talk) 15:52, 30 November 2014 (UTC)
It really depends on how multilingual will be implemented. The definition here is not clear IMO. Regardless of which datatype we settle on, we should not create this property until there is a consensus on this problem. I don't wish to go through the P357 (P357) => title (P1476) fiasco again. —Wylve (talk) 17:30, 30 November 2014 (UTC)
@Wylve, Emw, Tobias1984: This property can't be string: different rules apply for the different langages. Ex.: in English 3-Propanol, in French propan-3-ol; sulfide in English, sulfure in French. The normal datatype is at least monolingual datatype. But the multilingual datatype is still in discussion. No real refusal from the development team, only comment about the number of properties which can use this datatype. The difference between the monolingual and the multilingual datatype is the relation between property and value. With the monolingual datatype there is only one relation property-value. You can create additonal relations for each langage you want to add but in the data structure but you still have property-value pairs. With the multilingual datatype you assume several values for one property property-value-value-value... Monolingual datatype is useful when only a few number of values in different languages will be added. If now you assume that you want to translate one value in all possible languages, then the monolingual datatype is limited. For comparison, the monolingual datatype is a table with two cells (value+langage). Each time you add a new value you create a new table. The multilingual datatype is a table of X lines and two columns. Snipre (talk) 21:58, 30 November 2014 (UTC)
@Snipre, Emw, Tobias1984:: I have changed the proposed datatype to multilingual text. —Wylve (talk) 00:26, 1 December 2014 (UTC)

 Oppose There is already a page property and a reference data structure. Redundant. Snipre (talk) 11:09, 21 February 2015 (UTC)
 Comment Thank you @Snipre: for commenting. I forgot to stated explicitly the relationship between this property proposal ("Gray's Anatomy 1918 page") and the already-existing property ("Gray's Anatomy 1918 subject": Property:P1698). Historical and technical reason, the way to refer to Gray's anatomy in Wikipedia infoboxes uses 2 digits, "subject" and "page". Property:P1698 is for "subject", and this proposal is for "page". History in brief....
1. Formerly Gray's anatomy was linked to the copy hosted at Yahoo!. And Yahoo needs subject digit to link.
2. But Yahoo had some problems (about 20% of their page was blanked one years ago. And now, Yahoo's Gray is down).
3. So, in English Wikipedia, currently Gray's anatomy was linked to Open Library. Open Library needs page digit to link.
For more details, see en:Template:Gray's Anatomy link and its talk page, and Property_talk:P1698. As a result, we need this "page" property to link to the each pages of the book. I feel sorry for my low skill to explaining this complex situation clearly. Thanks. --Was a bee (talk) 17:19, 8 March 2015 (UTC) bit added explanation of the situation. --Was a bee (talk) 09:59, 10 March 2015 (UTC)
@Was a bee: Don't feel sorry, it's a normal way to act when working in a specialized field. But your explanations are not very in favor of creating new property: you say that you use one parameter to link Yahoo's webpages to WP but that now Yahoo is not working anymore so why do we need to create a property for dead links ? From your explanation better delete this outdated data and use only valid data. Snipre (talk) 14:20, 10 March 2015 (UTC)
@Was a bee: I just spend a little time to understand your way to use this reference and I think you don't read help:sources. Gray's Anatomy is a book so the first step is to create a item for the book. Here we reach the first problem: this are several editions. So we have to create a item for the work and others items for each edition
work item: Gray's Anatomy (Q200306)
edition item for 20th edition: Gray's Anatomy (20th edition) (Q19558994)
So now to use the reference to 20th edition, just use stated in (P248): Gray's Anatomy (20th edition) (Q19558994) and page(s) (P304): XXX where the page is the real page number of the book. Then if you want to include a URL for a online copy use the properties reference URL (P854) or archive URL (P1065).
So the property P1698 (P1698) is not more useful and can be deleted. Snipre (talk) 09:14, 11 March 2015 (UTC)
@Snipre: We can't delete it, because the English anatomy infobox uses the data. The book can be used as a source, but it is also used as an identifier on English Wikipedia. We have to accepts that, even if it is somewhat redundant on Wikidata. --Tobias1984 (talk) 09:21, 11 March 2015 (UTC)
@Tobias1984: This not a data, this just a piece of code used to create an URL to webpages which no longer exist. That's typically a case of URL obsolescence. If en:WP wants to keep this kind of data, why not but plenty of other WPs have other rules so I don't think that en:WP has some priority. WD is an international project not an en project. I am ready to find solutions but global solutions and not solutions for every type of infoboxes from every WP. The solution I propose is to see if the subject parameter can be correlated with a real chapter in the book. If yes, use chapter (P792) instead of P1698 (P1698). Snipre (talk) 09:45, 11 March 2015 (UTC)
@Tobias1984: Sorry but please look at that page: beside old yahoo webpages this are 3 others online versions of the book. So why do we have to create a special structure for outdated links if we have the possibility to use active links which require less data (only the page number) ? Snipre (talk) 09:51, 11 March 2015 (UTC)
@Snipre: I am sure, we can find a way of improving the current situation, but we have to inform the communities that we are changing something. And we need a working solution in place, before we can switch over to the better version. We can't break these links, even if it is just for one day. --Tobias1984 (talk) 10:10, 11 March 2015 (UTC)
@Tobias1984: We don't break anything because we don't modify anything in en:WP articles. These are the guys which want to use WD data in infoboxes to see how they want the final data. I just want to have the answer of Was a bee and after we can organize the deletion process of the property (which is only 5 days old). Snipre (talk) 10:42, 11 March 2015 (UTC)
@Tobias1984, Was a bee: The problem if we look at the use of P1698 (P1698) is the specificity of the property to one book and one type of URL. If we allow that we will create bunch of properties only for URL creation. This is not the goal of WD.
The best way is to use this structure
described by source (P1343): Gray's Anatomy (20th edition) (Q19558994)
reference stated in (P248): Gray's Anatomy (20th edition) (Q19558994), page(s) (P304): XXX
Then we can use lua to extract that information in the infobox to create the link or if this is too complex we can use directly the properties reference URL (P854) or archive URL (P1065) to store the URL in the reference section and at the end use lua to extract it in the infoboxes.
This is not the most simple way but if we think about anatomy and all possible online references, we just can't create a specific property for each online version. Snipre (talk) 14:15, 11 March 2015 (UTC)
@Snipre, Tobias1984: thank you very much for discussion. That "structure" idea seems very interesting. I want to know more about the idea. Before that, let me put here the background motivation. Perhaps this is something redundant, but I think this can be some help for discussion.
Motivation: "Why Gray's anatomy (1918)?": Gray's Anatomy (1918) is widely used in Wikipedia. Actually major part of English Wikipedia anatomy articles consist of copy-and-paste from Gray's Anatomy 1918 edition (because it is Public domain). And there are numerous articles, outside of EnWP, created based on translation from EnWp anatomy articles (in other words, translation of Gray's Anatomy 1918 text). I don't know exact portion, but I suppose 30%-50% of anatomy text in EnWp would be made by copy-and-paste from Gray's Anatomy 1918 (and I suppose 20%-30% anatomy text in other language Wikipedia). So I feel systematic sourcing of Gray's Anatomy 1918 through Wikidata, in a way that all language projects can easily use, is important. And from this line....
Both data would be nice: However I don't claim about what type or format is suitable for implementation of these data (Property, structure, or something else? Simply because I don't know well...), from the motivation above, I feel both subject-data and page-data are needed. Because websites which uses page (Open Archive and HathiTrust) are book-reader style website (which providing book content as images, like this). So we can not machine-translate that. This point is not problematic for English speaking readers. Because Gray's Anatomy is written in English. But for non-English speakers this point can be problematic. Websites which uses subject (Bartleby and Yahoo) providing book content as plain-text. So we can easily copy-and-paste and machine-translate that (like this).
Future vision: At Wikiproject:Anatomy in EnWp, there has been proposed that inclusion of links to other online anatomy texts (for example Sobotta's Human Anatomy). So Snipre's worrying about "one property for one book" sounds reasonable to me. I also feel that more smartly expandable style would be nice.
Test case: I tried making test case for Snipre's idea at frontal lobe (Q749520). I feel this can possibly be a solution. What do you think?
Thank you very much. --Was a bee (talk) 17:11, 14 March 2015 (UTC) bit added future vision. --Was a bee (talk) 10:19, 15 March 2015 (UTC)
@Was a bee: I think the important thing is that the solution can be used in Wikipedia. We probably need to talk to the lua-module and wikidata-module people. The other thing I would prefer is creating an item for each edition of Gray's anatomy. Filling 10 string-fields in thousands of items is very prone to errors. --Tobias1984 (talk) 11:08, 15 March 2015 (UTC)
@Tobias1984: thank you for advice. I post WP:Anatomy and Module:Wikidata.
And about " The other thing I would prefer is creating an item for each edition of Gray's anatomy", User:Snipre made item for 20th edition (Gray's Anatomy (20th edition) (Q19558994)). I feel it seems OK by this, at least for our current task. --Was a bee (talk) 17:13, 17 March 2015 (UTC)
Hello everyone, I'm one of the Anatomy editors at EN:WP. Gray's Anatomy is an english-language textbook and the 1918 edition contains a lot of material which has formed the basis for the EN:WP, and by virtue of translation probably a significant portion of other language articles too, as is noted above. I think whether or not page numbers of relevant textbooks should be included is a question for wikidata regulars. 1918 page numbers sure, but there's another 39 editions after that, and what's the benefit to editors? None as far as I can tell other than 1918. I can think of some downsides (from my point of view) however -- creating an extraordinary number of items, large maintenance value, little (other than 1918) multilingual use, and I am not sure why Gray's should get this special treatment as compared with other textbooks. Page numbers other than 1918 are only really useful if a user has bought the textbook, so for recent editions are we encouraging this? Lastly there are international and local editions of the more recent editions, I'm not sure if they differ in page numbers. So I think 1918 page numbers yes, but am not too supportive of fields for the remaining 39 editions. --LT910001 (talk) 20:09, 19 March 2015 (UTC)
We have Help:Sources which provides the structure for the items used as references. @Was a bee: I modified the qualifier structure in frontal lobe (Q749520): put only the relevant data, i.e. the item of the edition, the page number. All other data (author, edition number, publication date,...) can be retrieved from the edition data. Then use archive url only for archive links and for normal links use reference URL (P854). Snipre (talk) 12:39, 18 March 2015 (UTC)
@Was a bee: You can use the reference structure to add several URLs to the same statement. By the way you can create all URLs and at the end you don't need to create the lua function to build the urls on the client sid~. See the examples at frontal lobe (Q749520). If you apply a strict way to enter this type of data (bot) you can select the desired URL by filtering the title data from all references. So if you want to use only the Bartleby web site, you can filter the references using the title data and display only this one in your infobox. But here you need lua expertise.Snipre (talk) 13:02, 18 March 2015 (UTC)
Thank you @Snipre:. At EnWp Module:Wikidata, User:Paweł had made new function for us, which enables us calling any data we want from Wikidata. So, now, there are no big barrier for storing data at reference section (or any other sections). However some conditional branch code would be needed if we stably use data at reference section, I think such conditional branch code is not so difficult (because there is already nice function made by Paweł). So I'll try to bot-request of importing "Gray page" data from EnWp and moving "Gray Subject" data into its reference section. Thanks!--Was a bee (talk) 19:12, 24 March 2015 (UTC)

  •  Oppose}. I think we can manage with the existing properties. I have editted frontal lobe (Q749520) to add links to the Yahoo copy and the chapter name (instead of the Yahoo chapter specific number). There is nothing to stop us creating a separate item for the Yahoo edition of the book if it is really felt to be needed but I would rather we find a more general solution - like creating a Wikisource edition to link to, with proper #section links to each section instead of these links to pages and chapters.

Note that I have added P1698 (P1698) to the Wikidata:Properties_for_deletion. Filceolaire (talk) 18:39, 20 March 2015 (UTC)
Specifically we should use described by source (P1343) with qualifiers for chapter (P792), page(s) (P304) and section, verse, paragraph, or clause (P958) and references (with reference URL (P854)) to online editions - like frontal lobe (Q749520). Filceolaire (talk) 16:59, 22 March 2015 (UTC)

Ideally, yes, but I'm a bit hesitant to do that. If it's too broad, it's harder to build/expand. We can't even do constraint checks on languages. Icelandic patronyms/matronyms have the main advantage of being in use. Depending on how it works we could do a more generic property later. --- Jura 01:34, 3 May 2015 (UTC)
I agree with Sergey that this should be patronym. I can't see anything special about the Icelandic use of them which would require an Iceland-specific property. I'm not sure exactly what you mean by "being in use" but if you mean that people in Iceland have names which include patronymics, well, so do most people in Russia (see en:Eastern Slavic naming customs) and some people in Indonesia (en:Indonesian names), to mention the other two I'm most familiar with.
Also, is monolingual text the best choice here? given name (P735) and family name (P734) are both links to items, and if patronymics were also links to items, we could link them to the names they're derived from. I also suspect there are quite a few which are used as surnames as well and therefore already have items. - Nikki (talk) 19:46, 10 May 2015 (UTC)
I suppose it depends how you plan to use it. BTW, the idea is not to indicate patronymic surnames, but last names that are patronymic. --- Jura 19:54, 10 May 2015 (UTC)
I think text is the best choice for datatype. in the example given "Björn" is the name that you can make statements about. There is not much you can say about "Björnsson" and "Björnsdottir" except that they are derived from "Björn". Having said that I think we should create the inverse property. "Given name from which this surname is derived" with example Selma Björnsdóttir (Q175119)=>Björn (Q8851571). Filceolaire (talk) 18:24, 11 May 2015 (UTC)

I am trying to find a way to describe how many seats each party or group of parties in a legistative chamber got after an general election. An earlier proposals like this one got denied a new property, mainy because some users thought we instead should list all elected MP's and in the items about them tell which political party they represents. (I cannot find that discussion at the moment.) That will in many cases solve the issue, but there are many many elections, we do not know that much about. In the 1930/31 city-elections in Sweden, all we know is the name of the political parties and the number of seats they got. We do not even know their names and in some cases we do not even know how many votes they got. Another problem can be seen here. The Swedish riksdag (with 349 seats) has since the beginning of the 4-year-period in october 2014 had 395 MP's. -- Innocent bystander (talk) 12:31, 24 May 2015 (UTC)

Proposed byDanneks (talk)
Discussion

Might be useful to link conjectures (and algorithms, constructions, maybe some other methods) with those humans who described them for the first time and made them notable. Some people are already using notable work (P800) for algorithms (I've seen it in William Kahan (Q92782)), which doesn't look quite correct. Danneks (talk) 16:58, 2 September 2014 (UTC)

 Support, I don't think the use of the work notion property is wrong, a work is the product of human thinking and/or realization, it does not have to be an artwork. But if someone conjectured something, the work is the act of conjecturing, and if someone proved, the work is the act of proving, and the result is the proof.
This raise a question : how do we model the difference beetween a conjecture and a theorem ? A conjecture is a math property supposed to be true, and a theorem is a math formula or idea for which there exists a proof.
So maybe a better modeling could be an item to the proof in this case, the proof will have one or several authors. I can't think of an equivalent for conjectures, maybe an item to the scientific publication or letter in which the author made the conjecture ? We can call this class of documents conjecturing documents, and we could say the author of a conjecture is the author of a conjecturing documents. The conjecture itself beeing the item about the formula/property. Maybe, in a longer perspective, we can express all these in terms of more generic properties ?
Anyway I would recommand to change the scope of this propery to maths formulas or properties, whether they are proved, disproved, undecidable or whatever. TomT0m (talk) 11:17, 20 September 2014 (UTC)
Actually, we already have something like that in Universe (Q1), connected with multiverse (Q3327819)! Maybe we can use described by source (P1343) with instance of=conjecture or proposal as a qualifier? Danneks (talk) 14:12, 20 September 2014 (UTC) No, it is not not clear whether the item is conjectured, or the statement that it is described by source... But maybe P794 (P794) would do? Danneks (talk) 15:04, 20 September 2014 (UTC)
I'm not a huge fan of P794 (P794) as it is not really well defined by itself and needs a lot of domain knoledge to be understood, I think its use has to be specified in the main property (the as qualifier used with this property means ...). I think a good solution could be
⟨ Poincaré conjecture (Q203586)  View with Reasonator View with SQID ⟩ instance of (P31) View with SQID ⟨ (mathematical) conjecture (Q319141) ⟩
end time (P582) View with SQID ⟨ 2003 ⟩

I think we're not so bad. TomT0m (talk) 17:26, 20 September 2014 (UTC)
That sounds good, but I don't see why we should restrict usage of this property to statements in some formal language (those which can, in a precise sense, be proved). I think that it can describe any propositions, including one about Q1 and Q3327819, and that provability or existence of formalization in a given system are additional properties. Danneks (talk) 19:15, 20 September 2014 (UTC)
@Danneks: We got different name for this : theories. Theories may have authors, and are refuted rather than proved or disproved ... The ontological nature of maths is different from other sciences (at least controversial :)), and mathematical statements can be proved, whereas theories are different in nature (theories are models of the world); so that justifies the different properties I think. But yes, we can discuss the analog problems for Lorentz ether theory (Q1870029) or general relativity (Q11452).
But I (re)realize we are talking about the proposed by property /o\ but anyway I would be fine with author, this is a kind of authorship. I don't really know which meaning is added by the proposed by idea. Except something that seem very cultural : artists are authors, scientists are theory creators ? TomT0m (talk) 19:53, 20 September 2014 (UTC)
I thought that only single works have authors, and that there are no authorship rights for theories yet :) But for many theories there is a person who is clearly associated with it, who described it and said that it is a good theory for the first time... Is this too ambiguous? I agree that conjectures and theories are proposed in different ways, but anyway there are (often) a person who proposes it, and a community which accepts it or not. Mathematical community accepts something if it is proved, natural scientists have other criteria for evaluating hypotheses. Both are notable for the history of science, so why to split? If you are only interested in scientific facts, then it makes a little difference who proposed something, but it is important from a historical or sociological viewpoint. Danneks (talk) 20:34, 20 September 2014 (UTC)
@Danneks: It's not because their is no copyrights or authorship rights on scientific theories that there can't be authors to them :) Actualy in french wikipedia the larger definition of author is
De manière générale, un auteur (du latin auctor) est une personne qui est la cause, le responsable. On peut être l'auteur d'une découverte, d'un accident…
Trad :
In general, an author (from latin auctor) is the person who is the cause, the responsible. One can be author of a discovery, an accident...
so the difference seems indeed cultural. In this sense the author property is enough, so why to split :) ? I don't really like the english wikipedia's definition because it seems somehow self referencing : an author is someone whom society gives author rights. Author rights are given to people who authored. (yes I skipped parts :) ) Really legalist but that does not tell much about authorship, except a restriction of the kind of works who gives legal rights. In conclusion I agree with you : we need only one property. At most :), I'm perfectly fine saying Einstein is the author of Relativity theories, even if he never had legal rights on them, thank humanity ;) TomT0m (talk) 21:32, 20 September 2014 (UTC)
An author is an author of the whole work, and it could be argued that a theorem is not a theorem without a proof. And a theory may be subsequentially refined by many people. Maybe discoverer or inventor (P61) is better? The general definition of invent applies perfectly to abstract objects. If it can be used together with a qualifier published in (P1433), it will be great. Or maybe we need a qualifier description published in? Danneks (talk) 11:22, 21 September 2014 (UTC)
@Danneks: We already have proved by (P1318) for the author of a proof. (Maybe we should have a converse property refuted by anyway). I'm fine with discoverer or inventor (P61), although it may be a good solution for taxon author (P405), maybe author (P50) as well. TomT0m (talk) 14:11, 21 September 2014 (UTC)
@TomT0m: OK, I will use discoverer or inventor (P61) then. I think we can close this proposal and discuss whether we need to model the content of (some) scientific articles in another place. Danneks (talk) 15:10, 21 September 2014 (UTC)
@Danneks: For the record, we should document this on WikiProject Mathematics and/or on the conjecture and theorem items. TomT0m (talk) 15:52, 21 September 2014 (UTC)

  • Check that the two items are not subject of the same statement: if Q1 different from Q2, there should be no statements Q3 P1 Q1 and Q3 P1 Q2. Of course, that's a warning not a certain mistake.

Automated jobs (and less often people) make mistakes and identify two things that are in fact different. It's useful to document the difference, so others won't repeat the same mistake. It can also be used to improve authority identifier management (see the first "robot job" above).

The historical name of this

Motivation

Суть заключается в том, чтобы ссылаясь в статье на элемент, описывающий историческое название объекта, использовалось его название, но при этом гиперссылка вела на статью про объект. Сейчас же, если человек, например, родился в Ленинграде, то в карточке всё равно выдаст Санкт-Петербург, если создать отдельную страницу для названия Ленинград, то в статье вовсе не будет гиперссылки на Санкт-Петербург, хоть и будет выводится правильное название.

@Чаховіч Уладзіслаў:  Oppose, use or follows (P155) and co. if you're not referring to a name but a former organization. Note that the datatype of official name is not item but string (@Infovarius, Ivan A. Krestinin: could one of you please translate ?) TomT0m (talk) 18:08, 7 May 2015 (UTC)
Возможно создание отдельного элемента для имени действительно избыточно и достаточно воспользоваться свойством official name (P1448) с квалификаторами start time (P580), end time (P582)? Хотя если у названия будет существенно больше свойств, чем просто дата начала/дата окончания действия, то может быть имеет смысл и отдельный элемент создать. — Ivan A. Krestinin (talk) 20:56, 7 May 2015 (UTC)
Квалификаторы создают много проблем, например, как карточка определит, что человек учился именно в период, когда БНТУ носил название Belarusian National Technical University (Q15626860)? Получается, что нужно искать и ручками вводить дату окончания (или поступления?), а если это так, то какой в этом смысл, если можно просто написать Belarusian National Technical University (Q15626860)?--Чаховіч Уладзіслаў (talk) 08:44, 9 May 2015 (UTC)
Соглашусь, предлагаемое вами решение проще варианта с квалификаторами, но есть у него и проблемы. Например, когда кто-то захочет составить список всех людей учившихся в этом университете, то запрос сильно усложнится. Пожалуй не возьмусь судить какой же из подходов лучше,  Neutral. — Ivan A.

WGA seems to be a quite extensive catalog, with a lot of pictures.

Currently it's mapped to catalog code (P528) with qualifier catalog (P972) = Web Gallery of Art (Q1464063), but I don't see why it does not deserve a prop of its own.

The formatterURL would need special handling:

  • lowercase the id (if in fact the id should be in UPPERCASE, which I'm not sure about)
  • double the first letter: BAMBAIA -> b/bambaia (that's a common trick used to avoid overloading a file directory system)

@Pigsonthewing: The property shows Formatter URL https://tools.wmflabs.org/mix-n-match/api.php?query=redirect&catalog=11&ext_id=$1 , is that the new standard way? Going through Mix-n-match introduces an extra bottleneck and point of failure (eg Mix-n-match does not work right now). I think it's better to point directly to the WGA site. Note: the WGA URLs have to be in lowercase; http://www.wga.hu/html/f/FERNANDE does NOT work. --Vladimir Alexiev (talk) 10:08, 11 May 2015 (UTC)

I investigated some more WGA painters:

So I propose:

  • the ID to include all parts except the first repeated letter, eg bambaia, fernande/pedro, master/zunk_sp/zunk_cat, bierstad, meifren, platzer1, master/xunk_bo.
  • formatterURL to be extended with only this option: to repeat the first letter.

MOVED FROM GENERIC PROPERTY PROPOSAL

Proposed by Pietromarialiuzzo (talk)

Motivazione Pietromarialiuzzo (talk) 15:53, 26 January 2015 (UTC) Vorrei rendere i vocabolari specifici dell'epigrafia creati dal progetto EAGLE accessibili a tutti collegandoli a wikidata perché altri progetti ne possano usufruire liberamente e per contribuire con questo lavoro alla missione di wikidata. Seguo un consiglio datomi a Berlino dal team di Wikidata a Settembre dello scorso anno, sebbene con ampio ritardo... spero di aver compilato il modulo di richiesta bene, ci sono molte cose che non capisco.

@Pietromarialiuzzo:

  • translate to English
  • Move to WD:PP/AUTH
  • "Represents Rostrum" is wrong. Make an item for "EAGLE repository" and quote in "subject item" above

--Vladimir Alexiev (talk) 15:25, 23 February 2015 (UTC)

Thanks @Vladimir Alexiev:, I am new here so, please help me to understand what is the best way I can do this. I am trying to explain this in a better way rather than translating if that is ok. I have been suggested buy the wikidata team to map our EAGLE project Vocabularies to Wikidata. We have only concept related to ancient epigraphy and I would like to add to corresponding items in Wikidata a link to our items, if that is fine. I would then add a property to these items to say "This is item as ID xxx in EAGLE". I am not sure if this is best practice for aligning vocabularies, please let me know if there is a different way to do this. I do not understand why I should create a EAGLE repository item and I do not know if I have done this alright, but I have tried to follow your suggestion. Thank you very much!--Pietromarialiuzzo (talk) 10:48, 2 March 2015 (UTC)

The repository item is so we have somewhere where we can explain what the EAGLE project is and can link the proposed property to this. Filceolaire (talk) 16:24, 2 March 2015 (UTC)

@Pietromarialiuzzo: All the above is clear, but we're trying to help you get it into better shape. It is getting better.

                     rdf:about="http//:www.eagle-network.eu/resources/vocabularies/objtyp.html"/>

I think it should be rdf:resource, and the URL is malformed

  • And again, I suggest to move this whole section to WD:PP/AUTH

--Vladimir Alexiev (talk) 11:45, 4 March 2015 (UTC)

Thanks a lot @Vladimir Alexiev:, you have spotted many things indeed which tell you how much non expert I am. I really appreciate your help. I have no idea why that Tematres instance is still there, but is an old version which should not exist anymore that is also why you don't find there Rostrum. the skos vocabulary was exported from there and then updated as such abandoning tematres. The vocabularies are listed and described here: http://www.eagle-network.eu/resources/vocabularies/. They are:

Then each concept has a url in this form http://www.eagle-network.eu/voc/objtyp/lod/1961 (http://www.eagle-network.eu/voc/typeins/lod/1 and so on) where the number is unique and the part before lod instead is the name of the vocabulary as above. I am aware that the /lod/ bit is superfluous but for many reasons in our workflow we could not change that at this stage. I have now fixed the errors in the skos and next sunday it should be uploaded and ok. this should be uri and you can have the html or the rdf. I do not know turtle unfortunately but I will have a look at how to do it for sure. If you suggest to have many "coreferencing prop" that is also fine, please let me know what is the best and I am happy to go down that way. I have nothing at all also against moving this to WD:PP/AUTH but I do not know how to do it: cut and paste everything? Thank you very much indeed. yours --Pietromarialiuzzo (talk) 21:33, 4 March 2015 (UTC)

@Pietromarialiuzzo: thanks for moving it here.

  • Thanks for all clarifications! So now regarding this property: which of the 8 EAGLE thesauri is it representing? Or maybe you'd like to add more props, to represent more of the thesauri?
  • "Non-expert": you guys use a Wikidata instance (only the second project after Wikidata to do it), so I would guess there are more people in the project who can contribute to these discussions.

--Vladimir Alexiev (talk) 09:30, 25 March 2015 (UTC)

In my view they are not divided, what we want to say, somehow is "this is an epigraphic concept/item". but I am happy to split if necessary. @Sannita: is definitely our man on Wikidata! We use Wikibase for another aspect of EAGLE which is translations of inscriptions, but I think the rdf version of our vocabularies would be any way useful. Am I wrong? Thanks a lot! --Pietromarialiuzzo (talk) 09:05, 30 March 2015 (UTC)

@Vladimir Alexiev: @Pietromarialiuzzo: here I am! :) I'm really sorry to ping you this late, and to answer this late.
Yes, I'm part of the Wikimedia Italia team that helps the EAGLE team in understanding how to work with Wikibase. I think I can easily answer to the multiple vocabularies: I think it's better to create just one ID that may cover them all, so the value would be, for example, "objtyp/lod/333", the link in the .js "http://www.eagle-network.eu/voc/$1.html" and the result would be
⟨ cowshed (Q681337)  View with Reasonator View with SQID ⟩ EAGLE vocabulary ID Search ⟨ objtyp/lod/333 ⟩

⟨ amphibolite (Q335239)  View with Reasonator View with SQID ⟩ EAGLE vocabulary ID Search ⟨ material/lod/43 ⟩
...and so on. If you're ok with that, I can correct the request with all we discussed here. -- Sannita - not just another it.wiki sysop 15:41, 29 April 2015 (UTC)
Thank you very much @Sannita:! this would be perfect for me! --Pietromarialiuzzo (talk) 19:41, 29 April 2015 (UTC)
 Support @Sannita: It's a bit unusual to include the term type in the ID but why not. Will save you the trouble of having to define 8 IDs. If possible, please remove the word "lod/" since it's parasitic: the semantic URL of something should be COOLURI and not include technological terms. (A friend of mine called Miro some years ago made an email accont called miremail@somewhere.com: silly account name.) Can you rework your resolution to avoid it? --Vladimir Alexiev (talk) 06:26, 30 April 2015 (UTC)
@Vladimir Alexiev: Yeah, the "/lod/" part might seem silly, and it is probably better to drop it, but I can't rework it, it's something that EAGLE has to work. I'll forward the request, though. --Sannita - not just another it.wiki sysop 20:59, 1 May 2015 (UTC)
Just to notice that I fixed the info provided in the template. Sannita - not just another it.wiki sysop 14:38, 8 May 2015 (UTC)
Thanks to all, sorry for the late reply. We cannot for internal reasons at this stage remove lod/ although I agree that it should not be there at this point. There is a long story behind it which might not be entirely relevant here. is there something we can leave with? projects have been using the uri as they are, even if they are not 100% cool.. please let me know. thank you very much. --Pietromarialiuzzo (talk) 21:48, 18 May 2015 (UTC)

Proposed by: Spinster (talk)

The most similar properties I found, were member of (P463) (just doesn't feel right) and affiliation (P1416), which comes close, but seems not 100% appropriate. Spinster (talk) 12:21, 20 April 2015 (UTC)

Emw, Spinster I'm not sure this is a subproperty of 'member of'. Football players for instance are members of (effectively employees of) a football club and are paid by the club. They also have agents who act on their behalf/represent them in negotiations with clubs and sponsors. Agents collect a percentage of the fees and can be said to be paid by/employed by the players that they represent. I can see a real distinction here between member of and represented by.
This is confused by consultancy type organisation where the 'consultants' are employed by the consultancy. The consultancy then sends the consultants to advise clients so the consultants seems to be sort of 'represented by' the consultant but I think that relationship is better represented by employer (P108) aka 'employed by'.

FundRef's standardised "Funder Names" are used by Crossref (Q5188229); see [2]. Once populated, I will approach CrossRef and suggest that they reciprocally add Wikidata IDs to their database.

 Support Funny that you should propose this now — I was playing around with the list on Monday and had planned to propose the property over the weekend. While the CSV is basically monolingual per entry, the RDF typically has at least one English name (sometimes more, e.g. for China Primary Health Care Foundation) in addition to the name in the local language. I could thus see arguments in favour of both mono- and multinigual text, but think it would be better to go with monolingual and handle the language information by way of Wikidata descriptions and aliases. Plus, it would be useful to add the FundRef DOI to the corresponding items (example: International University of Korea (Q6054165)). --Daniel Mietchen (talk) 19:50, 24 April 2015 (UTC)

Proposed byBrya (talk)
Discussion

A lot of stuff is imported from various databases. Some databases (CoL and The Plant List being notorious) have a lot of names that may not be used as a name of a taxon, ever (illegitimate names, later homonyms, rejected earlier homonyms, and combinations with these). Still, they are out there, and they are being imported here. They must be weeded out of "taxon name", where they create havoc. Having this property allows these names to be put somewhere, and then taxon rank (P105) could be added (perhaps even parent taxon (P171)). Brya (talk) 07:57, 18 January 2015 (UTC)

  • Brya I think this can be done using existing properties but I'm not completely sure. If this is an obsolete name for a taxon then use taxon name (P225) with an end date qualifier and mark that name "deprecated". If it is enough of an entity to deserve it's own separate item then use instance of (P31) to link to "obsolete taxon" or taxon rank (P105) to link to "obsolete species" i.e. create some new items instead of a new property. Does this make sense? Filceolaire (talk) 17:22, 20 March 2015 (UTC)
@Filceolaire No, this is a hundred percent guaranteed not to work. In most cases, this approach is what caused the problem in the first place: there are dedicated databases that have entries clearly marked as not being taxon names, and then there comes a user (often enough a highly educated professional) who takes these entries and then promotes them to newly existing species and genera.
        And, no, these things are not notable enough to rate an item, but there are Wikipedia's that have a page on them. BTW, often enough it proves not possible to delete/redirect such pages on a Wikipedia; this will often enough give the response "Sure, this is a fictitious species, and the page is in violation of basic Wikipedia policy, but so what: it is valuable content, and we must keep it" (happens time and again).
        In addition, deprecating a taxon name (in as far as it may work at all) is necessary for something else, namely for taxon name that has actually been used, and could theoretically be used again in future, but is not used now. There are a lot of shades of grey that could need to be expressed, without dragging in taxa that do not exist, never have existed, and that never can exist.
        As shown by the example these items are now handled by "instance of", but this is not all that satisfactory. It will do, to make it clear that they are not taxon names, but it would be better to have a property which allows adding details. For example the taxobox module now (provisionally) in use cannot handle cases where such a name is a basionym (short term this is not so bad as the taxobox module does not work for many other names either (the structure chosen is too complicated for my taste), but long-term this will cause problems). There are constraint violation problems now as well (like here). - Brya (talk) 11:16, 21 March 2015 (UTC)
Sorry Brya but I still don't get it. You want to make the following statements:
What do these statements mean?
Is Pachyneurum J.J.Amann (1912) non Bunge (1839) (Q17280121) not a taxon name or is it Pachyneurum J.J.Amann?
If they are not taxon names then what are they and how did they get in the databases?
You describe Pachyneurum revolvens (Q17268007) as "name that must not be used" but Wikidata is not just for taxonomy and that sounds like a great name for my rockabilly band. Why can't I use it?
That's 4 questions. Filceolaire (talk) 15:12, 21 March 2015 (UTC)
Well, Pachyneurum J.J.Amann (1912) non Bunge (1839) is not, never has been, and never can be used as the correct name of a taxon (the whole string "Pachyneurum J.J.Amann (1912) non Bunge (1839)" is just a matter of notation: it is the Pachyneurum that counts). This is because there is a Pachyneurum Bunge (1839) which may be used as the correct name of a taxon (and is: Pachyneurum (Q15943018)). There also exists a Pachyneurum E.B.Bartram (1939) non Bunge (1839), which also may not be used as the correct name of a taxon. All three are formal names (are "validly published"), that is, they exist in that particular nomenclatural universe. Q17280121 is an item that refers only to a formal scientific name (a name that may not be used).
        Names such as these are in databases so that people are forewarned not to used them (the two later ones) and to decode possible problem cases.
        You may use Pachyneurum revolvens for your rockabilly band, like any other string you like. However, it may not be used as the scientific name of a plant. There is a rulebook that says so.

Why not use "instance of (P31) Q-do-not-use-on-a-taxon" ? Visite fortuitement prolongée (talk) 20:12, 21 March 2015 (UTC)
That is how I am doing it at the moment (but with the relevant term without the instead of "Q-do-not-use-on-a-taxon"), and this works to a degree, but:
  • This does not allow indicating the correct spelling, or even the name at all, in a property. As it is now, these can only be put in a label.
  • This does not allow correct author citation of other scientific names. These other scientific names are for existing taxa and do have pages on Wikipedia's. They cannot have a correct author citation as Wikidata has a complicated mechanism for entering authors, which involves more than one item. - Brya (talk) 05:48, 22 March 2015 (UTC)
  • "This does not allow indicating the correct spelling" →‎ Your current proposal does not allow indicating the correct name of a taxon. And for the spellling, there is already IPA transcription (P898).
  • "This does not allow correct author citation of other scientific names." →‎ What do you mean by that?
Visite fortuitement prolongée (talk) 20:17, 22 March 2015 (UTC)
"Your current proposal does not allow indicating the correct name of a taxon." This does not come into it, and has nothing whatsoever to with the proposed property.
        Well, conceivably IPA transcription (P898) may be used, but this is really something else, there can easily be three IPA transcription (P898) for each not-a-taxon-name (which is closely constrained).
        ""This does not allow correct author citation of other scientific names." →‎ What do you mean by that?" See below. - Brya (talk) 12:27, 23 March 2015 (UTC)
Brya from you answer it seems that this property does not link from a subject item to another item or a value. Rather it tells you something about the subject item. The standard way to do this is with instance of (P31) as Visite fortuitement prolongée said just above. So we say "Pachyneurum J.J.Amann (1912) non Bunge (1839) (Q17280121):instance of (P31):Unacceptable taxon name - does not comply with International Code of Nomenclature for algae, fungi, and plants (Q693148)" where "Unacceptable taxon name - does not comply with International Code of Nomenclature for algae, fungi, and plants (Q693148)" is a new Qitem. This statement should have a reference linking to the edition/chapter/page in the Nomenclature that the name doesn't comply with. If the reason the name is not acceptable is that it clashes with another name then you should think about a property for linking to the item for the taxon that it clashes with. In the meantime I  Oppose the creation of this new property as, so far as I can see, it wouldn't work as you have described it. Filceolaire (talk) 04:14, 22 March 2015 (UTC)
@Filceolaire. No, this "this property does not link from a subject item to another item or a value.": it is a string property. This is nothing exceptional: "taxon name" is also a string property. See also directly above. - Brya (talk) 05:55, 22 March 2015 (UTC)
Brya sorry about that. My mistake. I am feeling really dumb here but what does the statement "<Not a Taxon name "Pachyneurum J.J.Amann"> actually mean and what does it tell us about the subject item.
Why can't you use taxon name (P225) to indicate the correct spelling. Is the problem with these incorrect names that they are misspelled?
You mention problems using the "correct author citation" above by 'correct' I assume you mean citation of the taxon name, author and date in the approved compressed format. I assume you understand why wikidata uses three separate properties to indicate the taxon name, author name and date. Filceolaire (talk) 17:29, 22 March 2015 (UTC)
@Filceolaire Well, it is very specialised topic, and the proposed property is uniquely designed to fit in with how Wikidata handles this, which is also complicated (needlessly so in my opinion). The statement"<Not a Taxon name "Pachyneurum J.J.Amann"> tells us that there is a scientific name Pachyneurum with that spelling, published by Amann, and that this scientific name may not be used as a taxon name. Other than the name there is no subject item. This could also be filled in "<Not a Taxon name "Pachyneurum"> but this looks less clear to me (maybe I will change my mind once the property is in use).
        A different example is Bisaschersonia clusiifolia (Q17235272), this is a name that was published as a political statement (part of a revolution attempt), and it is no more than a curiosity item. Again, there never was a taxon by that name.
        It is not possible to use taxon name (P225), as P225 is a Wikidata-defined property (not existing anywhere else), for the correct name of a taxon (the name that is in use in the real world), usually as on a Wikipedia-page, but sometimes as in the cited reference. There are lots of other names that may not be filled in in taxon name (P225), like synonyms.
        No, "author citation" is not "citation of the taxon name, author and date in the approved compressed format". Author citation is about what authors may be cited and in what relationship to each other. Date is not formally part of the author citation, although in practice it is often cited along with it. The present way of author citation used in Wikidata for algae, fungi and plants in the case of later combinations is that each item provides the author(s) who made the new combination. To get the complete authorship it is then necessary to also go to the item that holds the basionym, and get the authorship of the basionym (for animals it is different) and combine it with the other authors to give the complete author citation. - Brya (talk) 12:18, 23 March 2015 (UTC)
If I understand correctly, the full name of Pachyneurum J.J.Amann (1912) non Bunge (1839) (Q17280121) is "Pachyneurum J.J.Amann (1912) non Bunge (1839)". So a reword of the current 2 examples is: Q"Pachyneurum J.J.Amann (1912) non Bunge (1839)" => "Pachyneurum J.J.Amann (1912) non Bunge (1839)" ; Q"Pachyneurum revolvens" => "Pachyneurum revolvens". The third part is redundant. This is a flawed design, a waste of ressources, and an useless point of failure. It could be abbreviated to a boolean, such Q"Pachyneurum J.J.Amann (1912) non Bunge (1839)" => yes. Or, if I reverse the meaning: Q"Pachyneurum J.J.Amann (1912) non Bunge (1839)" => no ; Q"Pachyneurum Bunge (1839)" => yes. Or, with P31: Q"Pachyneurum J.J.Amann (1912) non Bunge (1839)" =instance of (P31)=> Q"unacceptable taxon name DO NOT USE exept for historical purpose" ; Q"Pachyneurum Bunge (1839)" =instance of (P31)=> Q"acceptable taxon name" or taxon (Q16521) (thanks to Filceolaire for "unacceptable" adjectiv). Therefore I  Oppose the proposal in its current wording. Visite fortuitement prolongée (talk) 20:17, 22 March 2015 (UTC)

  • Include, assuming that we have the legal right to import this identification system. The DSM is most used English language standard for classifying mental disorders. Version 4 was released in 2000 and version 5, this version proposed, was released in 2013. I am unsure about the legal right we have to import this system in Wikidata. Sometimes the organizations which produce these systems assert a right to restrict their use, perhaps asserting copyright over the text or a patent on the system. While I think this system would be useful to include in Wikidata, I am not knowledgeable about the right we have to import it. Blue Rasberry (talk) 20:03, 11 May 2015 (UTC)

  • Gymel, if I understand the question correctly, this would go in the edition item of a work item, no ? i.e. work : so-and-so… edition so-and-so 1, incipit : so-and-notso, or is it just the contrary :/ ?
  • I just did it this way for poems in 2 or more editions (on ws), where the titles or incipit were different in diff. editions :) --Hsarrazin (talk) 22:45, 25 May 2015 (UTC)
Well, for manuscript materials you could have several versions which "culminate" in the first edited version - AFAIK the incipit of that one would be choosen for the Einheitsincipit. I have to admit that I'm not aware of any project or institution using that concept, it well might be just a theoretical provision anticipating some cataloguing needs. The "usual" application of the "regular" incipit (in manuscripts) seems to differentiate versions which could be confused when considering only the title (and the Einheitsincipit would solve the complimentary task of grouping together versions with differing or absent titles - Wikidata can achieve that differently by relating all versions to a work or expression item, maybe with exemplar of (P1574)). Also there is a strong application in cataloging of music manuscripts, cf. RISM announces incipit search. Thus for wikidata items representing (versions of) songs we'll actually have to incipits, the music one (coded as letters) and the text one (taken as-is).
Thus I'd propose to leave the issue of Einheitsincipit until we sight one in the wild but consider music incipits as additional use case for the property (is the textual notation system unambigous or does it have to be specified by a qualifier? I have no idea) -- Gymel (talk) 20:38, 26 May 2015 (UTC)

    point in time (P585) View with SQID ⟨ April 15, 2010 ⟩

  2. (better imho) : use or create items like Xbox network (Q170073)  View with Reasonator View with SQID, and express statements like
    ⟨ Xbox network (Q170073)  View with Reasonator View with SQID ⟩ end Search ⟨  April 15, 2010 ⟩
    , and create a property online service. This would give :

@Caliburn: Why would not that work ? it's possible to create an item. Note that this does not need a qualifieras the property end time (P582) View with SQID (and also service entry (P729) View with SQID or end cause (P1534)) can be used on the service item. TomT0m (talk) 19:05, 24 May 2015 (UTC)
Revising, I believe your second solution would work best. Thanks for the suggestion! :D I will create the new request momentarily. --George (Talk · Contribs · CentralAuth · Log) 19:12, 24 May 2015 (UTC)

You can use inventory number (P217) or catalog code (P528). Pyb (talk) 07:37, 20 March 2014 (UTC)
P528 is for "the catalogue name of an astronomic object" (someone only gave it the alias "accession number" recently, after seeing this proposal; I've removed it. P217, a "string identifying a physical object or a set of physical objects in a collection" might work; what do others think? Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 09:24, 20 March 2014 (UTC)
I think P217 would be fine, especially if we add accession number to the description. - PKM (talk) 21:51, 27 October 2014 (UTC)

Variety of identifiers

Various museums use all kinds of numbers, sometimes even by department. Examples from the British Museum (from here):

Of these, prn is used in the URL, eg http://collection.britishmuseum.org/id/object/YCA62958.

It's a very good question whether to allow such big variety. Considerations:

  • An identifier like "Accession number" is useless without also pointing the collection (inventory number (P217) says the same)
  • The same object may have several identifiers, in different or even the same collection
  • The identifier name (kind) is important for curators to make sense what it is about: they use this name in their daily work
  • We got a bunch of Authority Control properties (eg Art & Architecture Thesaurus ID (P1014), Cultural Objects Names Authority ID (P1669)) that point to the register/thesaurus/database
  • A register/thesaurus/database is a collection of records about things (people, places, works/objects)

So I think that we shouldn't have generic properties like inventory number (P217), catalog code (P528) or "Accession number". We should have specific properties, such as "RKD Inventory number", "Astronomical catalog code", "Library of Congress accession number", "British Museum Asset Id", "British Museum Public Reference Number".

We might have a maximum one generic "Inventory number", which is assumed to point to the item's collection, but that's limiting. --Vladimir Alexiev (talk) 11:31, 7 January 2015 (UTC)

Inventory number inventory number (P217) ist meant to describe the numbering of the owner or whoever runs the museum/library/collection. So inv number is what e.g. British Museum assigns to an item of the collection. There is usualy only one inv. nr., if there are two, then one of the numbers is outdated (use qualifier start time (P580), end time (P582) if possible). Cases like this happen, when collections are put together so there is a renumbering necessary. Its not good to remove the old inv. nr. because it might be used in older publications. Every item with inv number belongs to a collection, so it needs allways collection (P195). Id agree to use inv nr and collection as qualifier, however there are difficulties to handle it this way, but that´s only a software issue. It is possible to give an item collection (P195) without inventory number (P217). Inv nr. implies physical inventory (Q475356), a process, that is usualy done every year where all items are counted. I would not change this property.
The Catalogue numbers catalog code (P528) are not limited in quantities, an item can be described in multiple catalogues, so it is possible to use it as a generic property for all kinds of catalogues and databases. It´s possible to give an item twenty catalogue numbers and the cataloge or database of the authority as a qualifier. I´d agree with this solution. We then could delete half of all properties and save us from discussing 5000 databases as properties in the next years. For authoritiy control it is not necessary to have ownership of the item. Stars or astronmical objects have no owner, so stars like Sirius (Q3409) have no inv. number, but many catalogue numbers. BUT: If we have specific authority control numbers like GND ID (P227), we can link it automaticaly with a weblink to the dataset. We´d loose these valuable links. And we have the same problem in processing: Infoboxes can not handle qualifiers.--Giftzwerg 88 (talk) 14:47, 7 January 2015 (UTC)
A generic "inventory number" is only meaningful when qualified with a Collection or Authority List (database, thesaurus). Eg most paintings at the Mauritshuis are on permanent loan from, and owned by the Rijksmuseum. So for such painting, we need to know WHOSE inventory number, in order to make sense of it.
I strongly disagree to replace the gazillion Autority Control properties (and more coming daily: Wikidata:Property_proposal/Authority_control) with a single property plus qualifier. There's a ton of knowledge encoded in the descriptions of these properties, an appropriate editorial process, coreferencing routines (mix-n-match), and editors identify with them. Also, dealing with such qualifiers is cumbersome. Don't break a good practice.
 Disagree Ergo: use this generic property ONLY for "insigificant" accession numbers that don't merit the creation of an Autority Control property --Vladimir Alexiev (talk) 16:13, 19 January 2015 (UTC)
 Oppose. Use catalog (P972) catalog code (P528) for the accession number specific to an institution with qualifier catalog code (P528) catalog (P972) for the catalog this number refers to. Infoboxes can easily harvest the accession number for humans who will be able to figure out the relevant institution. For machines reading the data we have the extra info they need in the qualifier. Only create new properties for codes that are applicable to multiple institutions. Filceolaire (talk) 21:17, 20 March 2015 (UTC)

Discussion

Motivation: This is about “game modes” found in video games. Sometimes, a video game has not just one set of rules and that's it, sometimes, the same video game provides multiple sets of rules to play the game. For example, this is extremely common in first-person shooters: You have free-for-all deathmatch (goal: kill the most opponents until a kill or time limit (or both) has been hit), team deathmatch, capture the flag, king of the hill, last man standing, and many more. There is a very good article in the German Wikipedia about this, see Source.

Not to be confused with game mode (P404). That property is specifically limited to things like “singleplayer”, “multiplayer”, etc. Sadly, this is also called “game mode”, but it describes a different aspect: The number of players involved. English does a very poor job in differentiating those two aspects. If you know a better term for this proposed property (and maybe game mode (P404)), please let me know!

Another problem with “game modes” as they are currently presented in Wikidata is that they are poorly documented/defined. I.e. deathmatch (Q48510) is ambigious and without description, the term “deathmatch” can refer either to “everyone vs everyone” or refer to a team variant of this, where at least 2 teams compete for the highest score. This is commonly called “team deathmatch”, but I've seen a few games which just call this “deathmatch” and the “all vs all” variant is sometimes also called “free for all”. In the example I've provided, I understood “Deathmatch” in the traditional sense. But IMO the “game mode” items in Wikidata surely need to be cleaned up as well. :-/ Please discuss, I am still new to Wikidata. :)

Proposed by: Wiki-Wuzzy (talk)

@Wiki-Wuzzy: I agree the existing game mode (P404) is a bit restrictive, but can we simply broaden it a bit to allow for more options? Maybe some Q's need to be created to cover the different sorts of deathmatches or whatever game modes are worth noting, but I would hate to be creating new properties that are essentially duplicates except for usage restrictions. Josh Baumgartner (talk) 23:34, 20 April 2015 (UTC)
 Oppose game mode (P404) actually would accept deathmatch (Q48510), last man standing (Q17042400), player versus player (Q719798), and other things could easily be added, they just have to be subclasses of game mode (Q1971694). Popcorndude (talk) 19:11, 5 May 2015 (UTC)
