Motivation
Same as Brooklyn Museum artwork ID (P4740) but for exhibitions. More convenient than using full URLs.
Notified participants of WikiProject Visual arts. Data about the items shown at the exhibition can probably be bot-extracted to Wikidata. Zolo (talk) 08:35, 22 February 2018 (UTC)
Discussion
- Comment Presumably you only need to include the url once per exhibition and described at URL (P973) was made for this. Jane023 (talk) 09:26, 22 February 2018 (UTC)
- I think this property is too specific, use described at URL (P973). Multichill (talk) 15:36, 22 February 2018 (UTC)

- @Jane023, Multichill: described at URL (P973) works too, but having a dedicated property has some advantages (easier updating if the URL pattern changes, and better knowledge on what the data are, like we can add a few metadata in the property entity while a P973 does not really tell us anything about what the data are or how they are structured). I have to admit I would be more enthusiastic about this proposal if we could do the same for other institutions though, and it seems ~that museums like the National Gallery of Art or the Metropolitan Museum use dirtier URL patterns. Zolo (talk) 19:36, 22 February 2018 (UTC)
- You can add qualifiers to the described at URL (P973) statement. The whole point of creating an item for the exhibition is so you don't need to add anything to object items besides catalog code (P528). Leave the dirty urls in the exhibition item, which is where they belong. One stop updating is enough. There tend to only be between 50-70 objects in most exhibitions anyway. It's not something that needs a special property link structure. Jane023 (talk) 19:55, 22 February 2018 (UTC)
- @Jane023: I meant to use this property on the exhibition item, not the artwork item. I just think it could be more convenient to use a dedicated property rather than a free URL when there exists a database about the exhibitions of a museum, the way we have identifiers for artworks or artists but for exhibitions. --Zolo (talk) 20:06, 22 February 2018 (UTC)
- I understand that. How many exhibitions are in your dataset? If a museum gives 4 exhibitions per year I think that's a lot. Even if you want to upload the whole dataset, I think the dataset is just not big enough to need a property. Jane023 (talk) 20:25, 22 February 2018 (UTC)
- There are 822 in the Brooklyn Museum website. --Zolo (talk) 12:55, 23 February 2018 (UTC)

- Support. There are enough potential entries for a dedicated property to exist. Thierry Caro (talk) 14:09, 23 February 2018 (UTC)
