INCI name[edit]
Originally proposed at Wikidata:Property proposal/Natural science
| Description | INCI (International Nomenclature Cosmetic Ingredient) names are uniform, nonproprietary, systematic names internationally recognized to identify cosmetic ingredients |
|---|---|
| Represents | INCI (Q910202) |
| Data type | String |
| Domain | chemical substance (Q79529) |
| Example | sodium laureth sulfate (Q412561) → sodium laureth sulfate |
| Source | Cosing - Cosmetic ingredient database, Personal Care Products Council - On lin INFOBASE |
| Planned use | the same of INN nomenclature (it:DCI, fr:DCI, es:DCI) |
Motivation
In almost all countries, the consumer can read the composition of the cosmetic in an ingredient list where the INCI name is given. This is always in English and / or Latin, regardless of the language spoken by the consumer. Of many chemical compounds the INCI name is better known and used than the generic chemical name or IUPAC name. The name INCI should be able to be inserted among the identifiers of the chemical compounds
example:
- it: Sodio lauriletere solfato - nome INCI = Sodium Laureth Sulfate
- es: Lauril éter sulfato sódico - nombre INCI = Sodium Laureth Sulfate
- de: Natriumdodecylpoly(oxyethylen)sulfat - INCI name = Sodium Laureth Sulfate
- fr: Laureth sulfate de sodium - denomination INCI - Sodium Laureth Sulfate
open question:
- do we want to use a distinctive font (example: variant: small-caps) when the element in the local language is already called with the INCI name?
example: en: Sodium Laureth Sulfate. INCI name = Sodium Laureth Sulfate
- Do we want to automatically insert the INCI name, when present, between the identifiers of the chemical compound infobox ?

Support David (talk) 15:42, 3 March 2018 (UTC)- Support This sounds reasonable. Wikidata doesn't have any say about display fonts, this is just a bare string - I assume what you're describing is the way an infobox would handle things, but that's up to the people coding infobox templates.

Comment if this is a nomenclature, should this be an external identifier rather than a string? − Pintoch (talk) 09:38, 10 March 2018 (UTC)
- I don't think it qualifies as an external id - at least as used above there seem to be capitalization variations. Unless there's really a single canonical "id-like" form for the string? ArthurPSmith (talk) 15:53, 12 March 2018 (UTC)
- I don't get why something should be an ext-id if it is a nomenclature. Imho this proposed property is more similar to e.g. World Health Organisation international non-proprietary name (P2275) rather than to any chemistry-related external-id property (but in the case of INCI there's no need for monolingual and string is okay).

- Sure, that's fine with me (just wanted to make sure that we will not discover a formatter URL in a few days and will have to ask the dev team to migrate the datatype…) Marking as ready then. − Pintoch (talk) 17:40, 13 March 2018 (UTC)
