Lexicographic cooperation sought[edit]

Hello,Id' like to explain that I alertedyouto the issue broughtup by @Shisma regarding the ̣̪Duden sense ID (P12641) subject type constraint merely because you appeared from the property edit history to have edited the constraints and therefore might have an opinion on it. I hope I was correct in that regard. I don't consider myself sufficiently educated about the constraint mechanics to determine from your discussion whether the issue was resolved or not, but since you are obviously involved with lexemes and senses I'd like to take the opportunity to ask for some general advice. Yesterday I posted a proposal on the Lexicographic Data discussion page regarding adpositional sense item trees hoping to bring some attention to that matter. Unfortunately, even today my proposal hasn't received a single comment, and I wonder, am I going about this issue the wrong way, or am I simply too impatient, I would love to get an idea of what others think about linking lexeme senses to Wikibase items,so that I could get started building these structures and demonstrate the many different ways adpositions are used in various languages and try to discourage editors from making simplistic assumptions about one adposition in English such aʂ "in" being easily translated to a single word in each of several other languages, some of which not eveɳ Indo-European. The Swedish preposition "på" for instance may be translated either "in" "at" "on" or "during" depending on its exact sense and context. I'mnot asking for your own comments specifically on this matter as such, only for some advice on how to get the attention of the editors most concerned about sense properties in case you aren't among them.

And if youthink I'm biting off a bigger chunk of work than I can chew and swallow with this modest proposal, just wait until I tell you about my anticipated Project Lexodus (expelling all language-specific properties such as demonyms and pronunciation audio samples from Wikibase item space). That will rock Wikidata in its foundations and probably require at least one Phabricator ticketǃ--SM5POR (talk) 13:57, 2 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
