ACM Digital Library event ID[edit]
Originally proposed at Wikidata:Property proposal/Authority control
| Description | unique identifier of an event or conference series of the Association for Computing Machinery (ACM) |
|---|---|
| Data type | External identifier |
| Domain | convention series (Q15900647) |
| Example | The Web Conference (Q3570023) → RE334 |
| Source | http://dl.acm.org/ |
| Planned use | cross-referencing major conference proceedings volumes with their conference series |
| Formatter URL | http://dl.acm.org/event.cfm?id=$1 |
| Robot and gadget jobs | None at present, could be semi-automated |
| See also | ACM Digital Library author ID (P864) |
- Motivation
Each ACM conference proceeding volume (see property proposal above) has a parent conference series. This identifier will uniquely identify a conference series of the Association for Computing Machinery (Q127992). --DarTar (talk) 06:18, 25 October 2016 (UTC) The Source MetaData WikiProject does not exist. Please correct the name.
- Discussion
Support but the proposal should extended by property constraints and identifier format as a regular expression. By the way we could also use a similar property for dblp computer science bibliography (Q1224715) -- JakobVoss (talk) 07:01, 25 October 2016 (UTC)
Comment @JakobVoss, Uzume, LeadSongDog: We do have DBLP author ID (P2456) for people in dblp computer science bibliography (Q1224715). It was originally scoped to all dblp IDs but, after some discussion, re-scoped to just people. Runner1928 (talk) 17:48, 25 October 2016 (UTC)
- Comment Yes, I did the work on DBLP author ID (P2456) to make it pID specific. I am not against having other properties for DBLP (e.g., for publications and streams as per their FAQ), but I believe it is pointless to have properties that are essentially site relative URLs. This proposed property seems to be similar to the DBLP stream key/ID (and covers both conference and journal publication "streams", etc.) which we do not, that I know of, currently have a property for either. Uzume (talk) 18:09, 2 November 2016 (UTC)
- Comment The dblp is licensed as ODC-By-1.0, so that one should be a no-brainer. It also yields an alternative (indirect) path to the ACM content. LeadSongDog (talk) 16:30, 25 October 2016 (UTC)
- Support An identifier that is valuable and useful. We need this to be an additional identifier. -- BrillLyle (talk) 14:43, 25 October 2016 (UTC)
- Support The series level is useful. Jodi.a.schneider (talk) 03:06, 26 October 2016 (UTC)
- Comment such series do change name. e.g. CSCW is now the "ACM Conference on Computer-Supported Cooperative Work and Social Computing" (cf http://cscw.acm.org/2017/ ) but was previously the "ACM Conference on Computer Supported Cooperative Work" (cf http://www.cscw2012.org/ ) Jodi.a.schneider (talk) 03:06, 26 October 2016 (UTC)
- @Jodi.a.schneider: I imagine this would be expressed by using time qualifiers on the title field. --DarTar (talk) 04:26, 28 October 2016 (UTC)
- Support — Finn Årup Nielsen (fnielsen) (talk) 09:31, 26 October 2016 (UTC)
- Comment There is an issue with the definition of "conference series". Is a "conference series" a series of meetings (present approach for the suggested property) or is it a series of proceeedings from meetings. One is an event the other is a literary work. Using part of the series (P179) between a convention series (Q15900647) and proceedings (Q1143604) seems inappropriate. —Finn Årup Nielsen (fnielsen)
- @Fnielsen: Agreed. See this discussion.--DarTar (talk) 04:35, 28 October 2016 (UTC)
- Support It seems like a stable and useful identifier (similar to the DBLP stream key/ID). I recommend sticking with the name from the URL though as it might cover more than just conferences: "ACM DL event ID". We should probably also have a corollary property for other publication streams, e.g., "ACM DL publication ID" as per these examples: this magazine and this journal. Uzume (talk) 18:09, 2 November 2016 (UTC)
- @Uzume: updated the proposed property name, thanks.--DarTar (talk) 16:02, 7 November 2016 (UTC)

Done --Tobias1984 (talk) 19:18, 7 November 2016 (UTC)
