Data schema and exemplar items
[edit]The data schema is detailed in three tables showing the properties we use on the thesis item, the author item and the advisor item.
Schema for a thesis item
[edit]Label: the title of the thesis (shortened to 249 characters if necessary with an ellipse to show it has been shortened)
Alias: if the title contained a spelling or keying mistake, put the incorrect one(s) here, or can also use for alternative titles
Description: "Year thesis type by Author at Institution" e.g. 1998 doctoral thesis by Jane Smith at the University of Otago"
Use qualifier P1932 "Object named as" on the author/author name string statement to show how the name was represented in the original metadata from the repository (which may be different to the name on the front of the digitised thesis)
Note that on Wikidata a thesis is entered as a work level item (rather than an edition) which means that if there are multiple copies of a thesis in different university libraries, there may be multiple values for some properties e.g. Handle ID or DOI. See Wikidata:WikiProject Books#Bibliographic properties for general differences between work level and edition level items on Wikidata.
Where an item is its own reference, a source is not needed for every statement (see Help:Sources#When to source a statement) but there should be some reference or identifier somewhere on the item that links to a place where the information can be checked (in most cases that is the metadata in an institution repository, but it may sometimes be a catalogue record instead).
If a property gets created for "embargoed until" we expect to add that to the schema for the thesis item, as a qualifier on P953 full work available at URL.
