Notes on properties for persons

[edit]
  • If, for privacy matters, the full date of birth (P569) cannot be stated, then it is possible to only state the year of birth.
  • The family name should be provided as a separate family name (P734) statement (in addition to [First Name(s)] [Last Name(s)] in the label). This facilitates the alphabetical sorting of person items in lists.
  • Occupations, positions and roles are distinct work-related concepts, which can easily be confused:
    • Occupations denote the kind of work usually performed by a person; and they are defined according to skills and education required for that work (see below);
    • Positions denote an employment relationship or other contractual relationship between a person and an organization (see below);
    • Roles denote contributions of persons to performing arts endeavours (works/productions or events). Roles should be stated in the item of the performing arts endeavour.
  • Only the main occupation(s) (i.e., the kind of work a person is most notable for) need to be stated. One occupation can be enough.
    • Whenever a performing arts specific occupation can be used for a given person, the subclass should be preferred over the superclass. For example, stage actor (Q2259451) should be preferred over actor (Q33999).
    • A list of common occupations is provided under the Typologies tab.
  • External identifiers are a very potent aspect of Wikidata. By linking an item to external identifiers, more information and content about that item can be discovered by humans and machines alike. There are many more external identifiers beyond those listed above. Social media accounts are also a type of external identifiers.

Data Model Publisher Version/URL Description
Functional Requirements for Bibliographic Records (FRBR) International Federation of Library Associations and Institutions (IFLA) Final Report (amended as of 2009) FRBR is not an actual standard, but a study report regarding the functional requirements for bibliographic records. These requirements are generally used as a basis for the development of library cataloguing standards. The FRBR study report comes along with a data model for bibliographic metadata.
schema.org Google, Yahoo, Microsoft, Yandex schema.org (current release: 3.4, 15.06.2018) Schema.org is a collaborative community activity with a mission to "create, maintain, and promote schemas for structured data on the Internet, on web pages, in email messages, and beyond". It has been initiated by the providers of the major Internet search engines in order to facilitate retrieval of information thanks to structured data embedded in web pages. Amongst many other things, the data model covers classes relevant to the performing arts, such as CreativeWork, TheatreEvent, DanceEvent, MusicEvent, Festival, Person, Organization, etc.
Music Ontology - Latest version (Revision 2.15, 22 July 2013) The Music Ontology Specification provides main concepts and properties for describing music (i.e. artists, albums and tracks) on the Semantic Web. Note that the core entities of the MusicBrainz data model have been mapped to the Music Ontology.
FRBR – object-oriented (FRBRoo) International Working Group on LRM, FRBR and CIDOC CRM Harmonisation Version 2.4 (November 2015), (all releases) FRBRoo is an object-oriented definition and mapping from FRBR, FRAD and FRSAD. FRBRoo complements FRBR by defining additional classes, including classes that are highly relevant in the performing arts context, such as F20 Performance Work, F25 Performance Plan, or F31 Performance. Unlike FRBR it thus allows to model the double work structure typical for the performing arts domain (cf. Doerr et al. 2008). FRBRoo is in the process of be superseded by LRMoo Version 0.7 June 2021.
DOREMUS Data Model DOREMUS Consortium Version 1.2 (23.12.2015) (online documentation; training materials) Extension of FRBRoo for the representation of musical works and events.
European Collected Library of Artistic Performance, Performing Arts Vocabulary (ECLAP) DISIT Lab, University of Florence, Italy Version 1.0 The ECLAP vocabulary has been created in connection with the platform of the same name that is used as a content aggregator for Europeana covering the performing arts domain. It defines classes and properties used for the description of multimedia content, with a main focus on describing media objects, the modelling of the users of the platform and its content, as well as on the annotation of media objects.
AusStage Data Models AusStage Website (accessed on 10 Oct. 2021) Data model used for the AusStage database, covering works, events, contributors, organisations, venues, and resources. The data model was also implemented by lbsenStage, Theatre Aotearoa and Performing Glastonbury.

Adaptation/Mapping of Existing Data Models to Wikidata

[edit]

When preparing for data ingests from existing databases, one typically needs to describe and map the existing data structures to Wikidata. Thereby, data structures that do not have their equivalent yet on Wikidata need to be newly created (e.g. by creating new class items or by proposing new properties).

This section lists a set of resources that have been created in the course of such efforts. They contain modelling examples and can serve as a reference and inspiration for future data ingests.

Data modelling issues that have been encountered in the course of these ingests are being documented on the following page:

Since 2020, data modelling issues related to performing arts data are regularly brought up and discussed during the Wikidata Workshops held as part of the initiative.


Mapping Infobox Templates

[edit]

The following table presents a possible solution of an automated Infobox for organziation in performing arts (on Wikipedia and Wikimedia Commons). The main goal is to define the Wikidata properties, which are most relevant by comparing existing infoboxes in various languages.

German:
Vorlage:Infobox Organisation

English:
Infobox Template non-profit organisation

French:
Modèle:Infobox Association
