Discussion

[edit]

Thanks @UWashPrincipalCataloger: but I think that "conjunctive" (or precoordinated) items like mechanics and constructive mechanical engineering (Q110660336) don't belong in WD (the two conjuncts do).

Also, a description like "subject area in the DFG Classification of Subject Areas and Review Boards (2020-2024)" is not quite ok: Items should be defined on their own worth, not in reference to some external dataset.

IMHO It's ok if some of the top DFG categories stay unmapped, or are mapped to 2 WD items --Vladimir Alexiev (talk) 05:40, 26 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • Example 6 in the proposal had a classification number but no item. I created the item for this example. I didn't think it was my place to delete the example, and it is a category in this classification, which I thought was valid for Wikidata.
