Motivation

In Austria (Q40) every university is identified by a letter. There currently is no suitable property to annotate these letters.

Discussion

•  Comment While I like organizational identification properties, this seems of very limited use (only 20 letters/institutions involved). Isn't there another existing property that could be used for this? ArthurPSmith (talk) 19:33, 4 November 2019 (UTC)
  • I guess something like "code (P3295): <letter> (encoding (P3294): identification letters for Austrian universities (Q1234))" could be used. --Gittenburg (talk) 20:18, 4 November 2019 (UTC)
  • the proposed model with code (P3295) sounds good. otherwise the proposal could be extended in a broader sense as indentification code for Austrian universities which could be used also for insitutes like TU Wien, Institute of Management Science, IFM - Real Estate and Facility Management (Q52607927) with identification code E330 (E for TU Wien, 330 for the institute). --Mfchris84 (talk) 20:56, 4 November 2019 (UTC)
    • That is however I think TU Wien specific, I am not aware of any other Austrian universities that use such a scheme. --Gittenburg (talk) 23:11, 4 November 2019 (UTC)
•  Comment The linked norm document says that it is not anymore in effect since 15.07.2004, not sure if there is a followup norm. I personally have never heard of this before, but that may be just me. --PeterTheOne (talk) 17:26, 6 November 2019 (UTC)

 Not done Too limited use. I added the letters as code (P3295): <letter> (encoding (P3294): identification letter for Austrian universities (Q73584738)) --Gittenburg (talk) 06:30, 5 November 2019 (UTC)
