subclass of: online service[edit]

User:Clements.UWLib, I just noticed after adding "online service" as a superclass of this item that you recently removed that same claim, so I'm trying to understand your perspective. My mental model is that an "online service" is a thing that serves content on the Internet, and that a "website" is a thing that serves web pages on the Internet. What is your take? –IagoQnsi (talk) 15:00, 22 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hi User:IagoQnsi, My thought is that "website" is a set of related web pages, and "web service" is a type of thing that might be offered via a website, a product or service available through that platform. So while they are related, one isn't necessarily a subclass of the other (in my mind). My thinking is that the website is like a kitchen cupboard, and web services are like the plates and cups and bowls sitting on the shelves which one might use. I can imagine a web site that doesn't offer a product or service. They have a relationship, but not necessarily a direct hierarchical relationship indicated by the property "subclass of". In my mind. I'm pretty new to Wikidata--should I have done a discussion on the property's talk page before making this edit? I assumed it was a mistake and just deleted it...but if that was rude please undo! Thanks, --Crystal Clements, University of Washington Libraries (talk)
@Clements.UWLib: No worries; you weren't rude at all! The usual process is edit, revert, discuss. I can also imagine a website that doesn't offer an additional product or service, but my thinking is that the web pages themselves are the service. Someone somewhere has to host a web server, which provides those web pages when someone requests them (by visiting a URL). If you have a set of web pages which aren't available via the Internet, I wouldn't tend to call that a website; I'd call that "an offline copy of a website" or something. (Really, I guess website should be a subclass of "web service" rather than "online service".) –IagoQnsi (talk) 15:30, 22 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for clarifying the process! I'm sure it's written down somewhere in the endless Wikidata documentation and I just haven't run across it yet. I suppose you could think of web pages themselves as a service, but I kind of think of them as containers for services. Especially given the economic-leaning nature of the products-and-services definition of "online service", I agree that "web service" would be a much better fit here. --Crystal Clements, University of Washington Libraries (talk)

add, please[edit]
