Allowed values	oai:[source]:[identifier]

Motivation

CulturaItalia (Q19858649) is a project dedicated to the Italian cultural heritage, which combines the data coming from several cultural projects and transmits them to Europeana (Q234110). This would be also part of the recently started collaboration between Wikimedia Italia (Q15136611) and Istituto Centrale per il Catalogo Unico (Q3803707).

@Vladimir Alexiev: I still don't know, I'm still trying to get the whole dataset. Unfortunately, I found out that "oai:culturaitalia.it" is not a constant part, since it defines the source the data comes from. Initially, it would probably just suffice, but there are other data sources in the database (such as Touring Club Italiano (Q1069349)), which are cited as such. Yeah, I know, it's not the way it should be, this is partly the reason why I work as a WiR at ICCU... :( --Sannita (ICCU) (talk) 12:39, 2 June 2015 (UTC)

CERL id

Not done

Description	Numeric ID from CERL Thesaurus - Consortium of European Research Libraries. Information at [1] as well as the web search tool here.
Data type	String
Template parameter	none
Domain	person, locations, corporates, organizations
Allowed values	11-char lowercase alphanumeric string
Example	Girolamo Cattaneo (Q20046840) → cnp00871477

Motivation

The CERL Thesaurus files places, names, personal names and corporate names coming mainly from material printed before the second half of XIX century. The files include multilanguage forms and variant spellings for each name, as well as the authority reference sources (e.g. GND, SBN,..). Fictious names are covered as well. All major European libraries cooperate in providing the authority information, full list here. This is an identifier with continental scope (Europe).

Data type	Item
Template parameter	"rank" in en:template:infobox Christian leader, "rank" in en:template:infobox Jewish leader

Source	external reference, Wikipedia list article (either infobox or source)
Proposed by	Sweet kate (talk)

In a variety of religious infobox templates. Rank here is independent of the occupation or position of a person, and is more analogous to military rank (P410). Alias: rank. Sweet kate (talk) 19:22, 2 December 2014 (UTC)

Weak oppose If position held (P39) is not enough, try honorific prefix (P511) and academic degree (P512).--Giftzwerg 88 (talk) 23:50, 3 December 2014 (UTC)

Hmmm. But it is not a position, honorific prefix, or academic degree. It's a rank. It does not relate to the position held or education earned. And honorific prefixes are already used in different ways for these same people — someone with religious rank cardinal (Q45722) has the honorific prefix His Eminence (Q1337757). I see that military rank (P410) was approved with no real issues, and I am unsure how this is really any different. --Sweet kate (talk) 15:47, 4 December 2014 (UTC)

(See my further thoughts ~~above~~ below under consecration date too.) Sweet kate (talk) 15:55, 4 December 2014 (UTC)

@Sweet kate: What's the difference beetween a rank and a position ? Positions can be hierarchicaly ordered (hence the ranking). And usually cardinals are cardinal of somewhere, just like mayors. The difference seems to be the organisation, a state or a church, that's all ... TomT0m ^(talk) 19:13, 10 June 2015 (UTC)

Support I think this is a separate semantic concept that can't be covered by existing properties. --Tobias1984 (talk) 09:26, 23 December 2014 (UTC)

Why do you think instance of (P31) can´t do the job? Meanwhile I´ve weekened my position, but I think we need a more generic concept, that can be used for military ranks as well or every other hierarchy. I tend to widen up the use of military rank (P410) and change the label from "military rank" to "rank" instead of creating a new one.--Giftzwerg 88 (talk) 11:34, 25 January 2015 (UTC)

You wouldn't use instance of (P31) for particulars like this anymore than you'd use it to replace position held (P39) or occupation (P106) — an individual is always inherently a human, but not inherently, at their essence, a particular rank (or position or occupation). Ranks have start dates, and go in and out of being "true"/preferred. (Once you're promoted to colonel you're not a private anymore.) I'd be fine expanding military rank (P410), but I don't know if the military-knowledgeable people would have a reason to disagree? If we do that I'd want that to have a mandatory qualifier of of (P642) — a person is rank "bishop" of (P642) => the Catholic Church or rank "general" of (P642) => the US Army. (Or whatever. Really it seems like that should be mandatory with military rank (P410) anyway. Ranks only mean anything if you know what the ranking system is.) Sweet kate (talk) 18:18, 27 January 2015 (UTC)

OK. I´d support to modify military rank (P410) in order to be able to use it for all kinds of hierarchy and to make of (P642) mandatory to describe what kind of hierarchy.--Giftzwerg 88 (talk) 13:13, 31 January 2015 (UTC)

Agreed, military rank (P410) should be able to be expanded, as even if someone holds both a military and a religious rank, qualifiers can define which hierarchy each is held within. Josh Baumgartner (talk) 18:15, 27 February 2015 (UTC)

Oppose for Catholic Church: bishop (Q29182) or cardinal (Q45722) are fonctions not ranks. — Ayack (talk) 16:30, 13 March 2015 (UTC)

Wrong, a bishop is not a function. This a special ceremony to become bishop and the bishop gets some special attributes which are independent of its function. Snipre (talk) 18:43, 29 May 2015 (UTC)

The mysterious of human semantic will always astonish me.

This is simple: a position is something you can leave after X years, you can stop to a bishop or a carinal even once you retired. It is like a PhD or a doctor title: once you have it you can keep it all our life. For example you don't have a end tiem parameter for cardinal or bishop. Snipre (talk) 05:54, 11 June 2015 (UTC)

@Snipre: Mmm I think that in france we are supposed to call a former prime minister or a president monsieur le président even after they left ... TomT0m ^(talk) 16:38, 11 June 2015 (UTC)

@TomT0m: Please read that document, chapter 9, to see how is considered a retired bishop: "L’Évêque émérite continue d’être membre du Collège épiscopal « en vertu de la consécration sacramentelle et par la communion hiérarchique entre le chef et les membres du Collège »". So he is still considered as a bishop and can act as a bishop in administrative way. He can participate to bishop conferences and can represent an episcopal conference of a country. This is not an honorific title like for civil positions but can still have interactions in the "government of Church" (see his possibility to take part to Concile if invited). I never see an old president taking part to several ministres meetings. Snipre (talk) 20:58, 11 June 2015 (UTC)

Weak oppose Other properties seems to do the job quite well, and we do not really have clear definitions of the differences. If we had we could see the similarities and see whether or not the context is enough ... for example if

Database of Classical Scholars

Done: Database of Classical Scholars ID (P1935) (Talk and documentation)

Description	Database of Classical Scholars
Domain	items on persons
Allowed values	number
Source	external reference
Robot and gadget jobs	yes

Motivation

The Database of Classical Scholars (DBCS) is a project by Ward W. Briggs and the Center for Digital Humanities of the University of South Carolina. The DBCS provides biographical and bibliographical information on scholars from the US and the UK, but aspires to some day cover all of America and Europe. All data is licensed under CC BY-SA 4.0 and therefor very useful to the Wikimedia projects. Since many of my articles are based on DBCS entries and many more articles are still to be created, it would be very useful to add this as a reference. Jonathan Groß (talk) 18:43, 30 May 2015 (UTC)

P.S.: I already created a BEACON list of all the entries in the database and will add the property to all fitting WD items. Transclusion to other Wikimedia projects (with a template in the "external links" section) would be a good thing, too. Jonathan Groß (talk) 06:55, 3 June 2015 (UTC)

Support but the datatype should be 'string' since the number is an identifier, not a quantity - 1.5 doesn't mean anything. Should probably be on the 'Authority control' rather than the persons page.

Comment I have a lot of experience with PG. I have just completed a project to map all 20,000+ author names on the PG website to equivalent Wikipedia article names. Often names differ wildly so its not easy to determine that "XYZ" on PG is the same as "DFG" on Wikipedia. But I have compiled a database that is complete, about 9200 names map to Wikipedia, the rest have no Wikipedia article. The database is not based on numbers, but on names. Because PG does not make public author numbers, and they disallow robots from scraping the site to find them. So for the example above, in the PG database (available in catalog.rdf at http://www.gutenberg.org/wiki/Gutenberg:Feeds) it maps to "Murray, David Christie" which can be found with the URL http://www.gutenberg.org/author/Murray,+David+Christie .. there are no author numbers in the Gutenberg catalog. Further, it is sometimes better so search on names because Gutenberg has duplicates in the database where the same person has two different accounts under slightly different (or related) names - doing a link via name thus finds them not just one. I guess this is a long story, but before this field is created and work put into, I suggest we contact PG and find out what they suggest is best going forward: using the publicly available name info found in catalog.rdf - or use the author number which is not publicly available in any database and can't be scrapped from the website and we have no idea if PG plans on keeping those numbers in the future. I don't normally log into Wikidata feel free to contact me over at en. -- Green Cardamom (talk) 20:49, 27 January 2015 (UTC)
- The page you link to - http://www.gutenberg.org/author/Murray,+David+Christie - is a search page, not an author profile. The author page, to which your example links, is the one I give in my example. Compare http://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/authors/search/?query=Smith+John which list several people called "John Smith", or variants thereof. Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 22:16, 13 February 2015 (UTC)
  - Talk to Andy - This is true the author profile page has a number https://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/author/25179 .. however this number is not publicly available - there is no way to get it as PG won't allow scrapping. (Short of someone manually checking each author page which is nearly impossible at this scale.) I don't know if this number will remain consistent - there is probably a reason PG doesn't publish the number in its database at http://www.gutenberg.org/wiki/Gutenberg:Feeds - they may change the numbers in the future? However I can try to contact PG again and see what they say about this and if they would allow scrapping. -- Green Cardamom (talk) 15:57, 13 May 2015 (UTC)
Comment ps. if name strings are used instead of numbers, there will need to be a mechanism for multiple IDs since that is the case sometimes. For example multiple people share the same Wikipedia article (husband and wife authors etc) but whom each have unique PG name IDs. -- Green Cardamom (talk) 20:53, 27 January 2015 (UTC)

Discussion

Comment last discussion: Wikidata:Property_proposal/Archive/23#killed --Pasleim (talk) 20:53, 4 May 2015 (UTC)

Thanks for the link! Should I go support that one? Because I totally agree we need it. For well known murderers, it's nice to be able to link them actively to their victims and not just passively (through queries). I frankly also don't understand the objection to the inverse-property-principle, so if you could direct me there I will go oppose that one too. Thx. Jane023 (talk) 10:00, 5 May 2015 (UTC)

I think, if an inverse property is needed (I have no strong opinion on this matter), the original proposal "killed" would be are more fitting inverse of "killed by" than "murdered". After all, the other property isn't called "murdered by" and people might also be killed by an executioner in countries that apply the death penalty (such as the U.S.) or in other cases which aren't considered murder by law. Gestumblindi (talk) 21:33, 5 May 2015 (UTC)

I'd like to see wider consensus on inverse properties; they seem to me to be redundant. Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 12:01, 21 May 2015 (UTC)

It's indeed redundant information and users adding claims need to do the work twice. However, one big issue is that the software doesn't yet allow querying. To get for example the name of the person who was killed by Johan Barger (Q742496), you need the query claim[157:742496] but that is not yet supported by the software. Nevertheless, it looks like the development team is hard working on the query engine and therefore it seems to me a waste of resources to create now an inverse property. That said, I'm

opposing this proposal. --Pasleim (talk) 12:19, 21 May 2015 (UTC)

It would be good if we could link to pictures and picture sequences which are available at Mapillary.com. Sometimes as proof/source/reference. Often times for illustration purposes.

Support useful for references --Pasleim (talk) 15:04, 15 May 2015 (UTC)

As to the diff given above: reference URL (P854) should be more appropriate in references than external data available at URL (P1325).

And in a more general vein: Do we have a way to use the zillion properties with formatter URL (P1630) also within the context of references? Wouldn't we need sub-qualifiers for that? -- Gymel (talk) 16:10, 15 May 2015 (UTC)

I disagree about reference URL (P854) and external data available at URL (P1325). This is not suitable for use as a reference as it is crowdsourced info but it is useful for two way sharing of info (we can tell our readers where to find more photos and they can add infoboxes to their pages based on our info). A dedicated property is appropriate for that or, failing that, use external data available at URL (P1325).

Stuff in the "reference" section is there to describe the reference so database/authority control type properties that do that are welcome in the 'reference section unless they apply to the entire referenced work, in which case they should be in the item for that work.

Hope that helps. Having said all that I

second surname in Spanish name

Done: second family name in Spanish name (P1950) (Talk and documentation)

Description	Spanish generally consist of two parts: the paternal and the maternal family name, see Spanish naming customs (Q259614). This property is for the second (or maternal) family name.
Data type	Item
Template parameter	w:Template:Spanish name and others on Template:Spanish name (Q5623839)
Domain	persons
Allowed values	surnames
Example	Gabriel García Márquez: Márquez (Q17984015), Diego Armando Maradona Franco: Franco (Q17983447)
Source	w:Template:Spanish name

This can help reduce confusion around Spanish names. --- Jura 09:03, 6 September 2014 (UTC)

Would this be a matronymic or a matriname? --Yair rand (talk) 04:33, 10 September 2014 (UTC)

Generally, but not necessarily. The first page you link has a section on it. For a more detailed explanation, see w:Spanish naming customs. --- Jura 06:20, 11 September 2014 (UTC)

Support Changed to "hispanic" which is more inclusive.--Micru (talk) 22:45, 20 October 2014 (UTC)

Oppose: Why would we think of the first word in a surname as being more family name (P734) than a second (or third or fourth) is? One can easily use family name (P734) with qualifiers like series ordinal (P1545)"1" (and optionally instance of (P31)patrilineality (Q223375) if it is from the father's surname) for the first surname and series ordinal (P1545)"2" (and optionally instance of (P31)matrilineality (Q1136773) if it is from the mother's surname) for the second surname. --Closeapple (talk) 08:24, 25 October 2014 (UTC)
- How can we query these? Are there any working samples for this? --- Jura 08:27, 25 October 2014 (UTC)
  - WikidataQuery CLAIM[734]{CLAIM[1545]} ought to list anything that gets one. What working samples are we looking for? --Closeapple (talk) 08:46, 26 October 2014 (UTC)
    - You'd need to identify items that have 1st, but not 2nd. Or items that have one that isn't marked as 1st or 2nd. Furthermore, you need to make sure that P734 keeps working for non Hispanic names. Many things that are actually easier with a distinct property. --- Jura 17:51, 26 October 2014 (UTC)
      - Aren't those all things that would also have to be dealt with if there is a new property? --Closeapple (talk) 04:41, 27 October 2014 (UTC)
        It's quite straightforward with a new property for the second surname. You can easily use it to check for claims in combination with claims for people born in Spain or people of Spanish nationality. Besides, there is no confusions about the sequence of the surnames and the multiplicity. --- Jura 17:27, 27 October 2014 (UTC)

Use 'Birth Name' or 'Name in native language' or 'Official name' to give the exact layout of the name and 'surname' with multiple values to list all the surnames (some people have more than 2).

Oppose. Filceolaire (talk) 22:19, 31 October 2014 (UTC)

This can't really be done with these properties. It's not a question of multiple names, but of sequence (and meaning) specific to Spanish names. --- Jura 12:05, 7 March 2015 (UTC)

Jura The sequence is given in the Label or the "Birth Name". We don't need to specify this in the "family name"statement. There may be cases where you want to specify which "family name" comes from the mothers family. This is a job for a qualifier. I suggest we use named after (P138). If we have a separate property then it becomes more difficult to compile lists of people with that family name since some will use the "Family name" property and some would use this separate property. Filceolaire (talk) 13:50, 13 March 2015 (UTC)

It's not "some". This applies to a specific field. Did you read the related article? --- Jura 05:08, 21 March 2015 (UTC)

I did read the article. It says customs vary over time and between different spanish speaking countries. My proposal works for double barrelled surnames whatever their origin. It even works if a couple choose to put the maternal family name before the paternal family which is sometimes done by hispanic people living away from hispanic countries (so they have both surnames but the paternal name is last as English speaking immigration officials expect). Filceolaire (talk) 02:07, 24 April 2015 (UTC)

Support I have been looking for something like this to track family relationships. Also, in many Hispanic American countries, a person must have two surnames by law. Depending on the country, these are called first/second surname or paternal/maternal surname. Andreasm ^{háblame / just talk to me} 03:36, 28 May 2015 (UTC)
Oppose, per Closeapple. --Yair rand (talk) 03:48, 28 May 2015 (UTC)
- Qualifier thingies don't work well to do that. --- Jura 04:01, 28 May 2015 (UTC)
- Moreover, it is not as simple as a sorting order: both surnames do not have the same relevance. Both surnames appear in all personal documentation (passports, bank accounts, etc), but the second surname can be excluded in some contexts (informal conversations, presentation cards), which is not the case for the first surname. So, a person can choose to present him/herself by both surnames (Mario Vargas Llosa (Q39803), Gabriel García Márquez (Q5878)) or only by the first surname (César Vallejo (Q222744), Miguel Ángel Asturias Rosales. (Q75603)), but never by the second surname. Andreasm ^{háblame / just talk to me} 04:23, 28 May 2015 (UTC)
  - Okay, so? What data would be missed by indicating a name to be a second surname as opposed to this property? --Yair rand (talk) 04:58, 28 May 2015 (UTC)
    - The lack thereof. --- Jura 05:03, 28 May 2015 (UTC)
  - Yes Andreasm, except that in some cases it is the first surname which may be omitted - this is the custom in English speaking countries where the father's surname is usually put last. Both surnames are surnames and should use the 'surname' property. To indicate which is the primary surname and which is secondary (or which is from the father and which is from the mother) is a task for a qualifier. Filceolaire (talk) 00:05, 3 June 2015 (UTC)
    - @Filceolaire: Are you still referring to Hispanic names? Because, as I mentioned, there is no legal way to skip the first surname for people born in a Hispanic country. As per other countries of residence, I can only tell for sure about the UK, where both surnames are maintained for all purposes, basically because that is how the name is registered on the passport. I could agree that this property is used only as a qualifier, but still it needs to be created as such. --Andreasm ^{háblame / just talk to me} 01:36, 6 June 2015 (UTC)
      - @Andreasmperu: My own wife is from Portugal and had three surnames. When she married me she added my surname on the end so she now has four. As she now lives in England in her general interactions only the last of these is treated like a surname with the other three treated like unusual given names. Each of my kids got one of her surnames followed by mine. Officials here in England expect the fathers surname to be at the end. People can have multiple surnames for a variety of reasons and the order can vary. Our properties needs to be flexible enough to accommodate these variations. Filceolaire (talk) 21:43, 6 June 2015 (UTC)
Comment @Micru: Can we change this back to the originally proposed label for the property? It was "Spanish name". The current label seems to confuse users who want to include Iberic and British naming conventions? --- Jura 18:58, 10 June 2015 (UTC)
- @Jura1: Not such a good idea. The label "Spanish name" refers to the template Q5623839 which divides a name in first and second surname. If the solution of using ordinal numbers is not wanted, then it would be better to use the label "second surname" for this property.--Micru (talk) 21:41, 10 June 2015 (UTC)
  - @Micru:: I tend to agree with others that outside the naming for scheme for Spanish names, the property might not be that useful. Which is why I would use it only for Spanish ones. --- Jura 11:40, 12 June 2015 (UTC)
    - @Jura1: I agree with you but in Spain it is common to refer to the second surname as "second surname", to differentiate it from the first surname for which we currently have family name (P734). If it is needed to add that it refers to spanish names, then I would be happier with a label like "second surname in Spanish name".--Micru (talk) 11:52, 12 June 2015 (UTC)
      - @Micru:. Ok for me. --- Jura 12:10, 12 June 2015 (UTC)
Comment Is there any systematic issue if we create this property (other than that some of us wont be using it as they don't any related items anyways)? --- Jura 18:58, 10 June 2015 (UTC)
@Yair rand, Closeapple, Filceolaire, Jura1, Andreasmperu: After the discussion I have changed the property name to "second surname in Spanish name", if there are no opposes I will create the property with that label in a couple of days.--Micru (talk) 20:46, 12 June 2015 (UTC)

Given that these names are widely used, having these dedicated properties rather than a more generic one with qualifiers may be convenient.
There is also childhood nickname (Q742466) and probably others, but they may not been so important.
en.wikipedia lists era name (Q256408) in the page about Chinese names, but it is a bit different, and I do not think it is relevant here. Eras can have their own items (and they do, see Zhenguan era (Q1042896)).
For name and surname, we have item-type properties but here the name can be whatever people want, and are used by quite many people, other by juste one person, but the list is open ended and string sounds more appropriate.
Courtesy name was already proposed by user:GZWDer at Wikidata:Property proposal/Archive/12 but it was not done because we did not have monolginual strings at the time.

@Giftzwerg 88, Wylve, Jura1:: 3/4 done: . For art name, I actually do not know if art the property should be broadened to Western-style pseudonyms (I tend to think it should). --Zolo (talk) 07:39, 18 February 2015 (UTC)

I agree. We currently have pseudonym (P742), but I'm not sure if its scope is too broad. By the way, for the three properties created, should the values be in the traditional or simplified script and in which language code? —Wylve (talk) 12:42, 18 February 2015 (UTC)

I'd say traditions characters, because it better corresponds to what was used at the time, and because one simplified characters sometimes corresponds to several traditional characters.

I do not know for the language code either. Technically, I suppose it can usually be considered Classical Chinese (code: lzh), but that sounds a bit odd. Rethinking about it, maybe we should make it a simple string with no language code attached to it, but, if needed, with a qualifier for the writing system used. That would sound like a better solution for non-Chinese people. Take en:Gia Long. His temple name is apparently 世祖, but which language is that ? That is Vietnamese written in Chinese script but that can also be Chinese. --Zolo (talk) 13:45, 18 February 2015 (UTC)

I think lzh would be appropriate, since other zh-XX codes imply modern Chinese and "zh" is just an ambiguous code representing all variants of Chinese. "世祖" could also be written as "Thế Tổ" in Vietnamese, so it might be a bit weird having two values for Vietnamese if the former is considered written in Vietnamese. In my opinion no one solution stands out to be the suitable one at the moment. —Wylve (talk) 17:00, 18 February 2015 (UTC)

For Gia Long, using monolingual text, we would have:

temple name: 世祖 language: vi or whatever stand for vietnamese with Chinese script
temple name: Thế Tổ language: vi

The trouble is that it is not really correct as 世祖 can be Chinese as well and Thế Tổ can be used in other languages using Roman script.

I think using a "writing system" qualifier works better:

temple name: 世祖 writing system: sinograms
temple name: Thế Tổ writing system: Vietnamese alphabet (Q622712)

A variant of this solution would be to put the alphabetical version as a qualifier of the Chinese-character version to make it clear that this is the same name written differently, not a different name. --Zolo (talk) 21:32, 18 February 2015 (UTC)

@Wylve, Jura1, Giftzwerg 88:, can I recreate those properties with datatype = string (without language), and recommend using a writing system (P282) qualifier rather than indicate a language ? As explained above, I think it is actually better. It is also more consistent with pseudonym (P742). --Zolo (talk) 12:25, 23 February 2015 (UTC)

I'm ambivalent about this, but I will support recreating them into string. I'm not an authority on this, but I think in the long run monolingual text and multilingual text datatypes should support a more precise ISO language scheme like ISO 639-6. The current ISO 639-1 does not include historical languages and ignores the different scripts used by the same language. —Wylve (talk) 18:33, 23 February 2015 (UTC)

@Wylve: I have changed the datatype to string, with a recommended {p|282}} qualifier. courtesy name (P1782), temple name (P1785) and posthumous name (P1786). I have also created art name (P1787), as there did not appear be really satisfying alternatives. --Zolo (talk) 08:53, 21 March 2015 (UTC)

Religious rank rework

After re-thinking through my various requests from earlier and the feedback I was given, I think all of my original questions can be answered by approving the property request religious rank and using the qualifiers of start time (P580) and conferred by (P1027).

In her English Wikipedia article en:Park Geun-hye you can see an infobox on the left side featuring her name in Hangul (박근혜), Hanja (朴槿惠) and then Hangul romanized by the revized Romanization (Bak Geun-hye) and by McCune-Reischauer (Pak Kŭnhye).

- @Filceolaire:. I think it should be made like pinyin transliteration (P1721). Actually, I only wanted to raise attention for romanizations. McCune-Reischauer is widely used in academics, but in 2000, the government of South Korea made the Q498721 their official system. For example, by McCune-Reischauer, the capital is spelled Sŏul, by the revised romanization it is spelled Seoul. But there are also other systems like Yale romanizations.

Motivation

Je prévois dans le cyclisme d'utiliser massivement les données de Wikidata pour centraliser ici le maximum de données possibles, l'objectif étant d'une part de laisser du temps aux contributeurs des petites versions linguistiques, de leur laisser la possibilité de générer des articles très rapidement, de sorte à ce qu'il ne leur reste plus qu'à rédiger, et d'autre part de centraliser au maximum la maintenance et la mise à jour. Ce chantier va être étalé tout au long de l'année 2015.
Sur les articles concernant les courses cyclistes, nous associons à chaque édition le vainqueur, le deuxième et le troisième, c'est-à-dire les coureurs qui montent sur le podium. Il existe actuellement une propriété winner (P1346), déjà utilisée dans Four Days of Dunkirk (Q513691) et Paris-Arras Tour (Q3365097), mais il nous manque une propriété pour indiquer le deuxième et une autre pour le troisième. L'objectif étant à terme de générer les tableaux présents dans chaque article de course cycliste, comme fr:Quatre jours de Dunkerque#Palmarès, depuis Wikidata. Le coureur arrivé deuxième et celui arrivé troisième sont également demandés dans les infobox d'étapes de courses cyclistes, telles que la 20e étape du Tour de France 2014. Cette demande pourrait permettre de faciliter le travail sur un grand nombre d'articles et dans de nombreuses langues.

[Google Translate] I plan in the cycling massively used to centralize data Wikidata here the maximum possible data, with the aim firstly to allow time to contributors small versions language, they leave open the possibility of generating products rapidly, so that it does not just have to write them, and also centralize maximum maintenance and update. This project will be spread throughout the year 2015.
Of the articles about cycling races, we associate with each edition the winner, the second and the third, that is to say the riders on the podium. There is currently a winner (P1346) property already used in Four Days of Dunkirk (Q513691) and Paris-Arras Tour (Q3365097), but we lack a property to indicate the second and one for third. The objective is ultimately to generate the tables present in all cycling races article, like fr:Quatre jours de Dunkerque#Palmarès, since Wikidata. The second runner arrived and the third are also requested in the infobox stages of cycling races, such as 20e étape du Tour de France 2014.

@GZWDer: I'm amazed that it doesn't seem there are any properties yet for size, extent, height, width (tried autocomplete on some item, maybe I didn't search right?), etc. So definitely some dimension properties are needed, but I think should be defined in a more general way. Eg in this case "size" or "extent" with qualifier "unit" that can be left out (in this case), or be specified as an item "entries", "records", "pages", or whatever needed. --Vladimir Alexiev (talk) 11:48, 3 April 2015 (UTC)
Quantity with unit data type is still in development. (Happens to be one of the top priorities.) --Izno (talk) 17:16, 3 April 2015 (UTC)
Question Wouldn't this be better as a more generic "number of parts", to be used with a qualifier ("articles", "pages", "bricks", or whatever)? Unit measurements such as length and width would then be for other properties. Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 10:37, 24 April 2015 (UTC)
support for Andy's idea. --Pasleim (talk) 16:33, 27 April 2015 (UTC)
@Pigsonthewing, Izno, Pasleim: Why not the opposite ? We already have properties for whole/part, has part(s) (P527) and part of (P361) (although it might be a good idea to split them according to the corresponding RfC) why not something like
⟨ Wikipedia ⟩ composed of Search ⟨ articles ⟩
quantity (P1114) ⟨  100000 ⟩
? We already have the properties. TomT0m ^(talk) 16:47, 27 April 2015 (UTC)
@TomT0m: I see a problem with has part(s) (P527) if we want to extend it to lets say "number of users". Saying
⟨ Wikipedia ⟩ has part(s) (P527) ⟨ users ⟩
quantity (P1114) ⟨  100000 ⟩
looks strange to me. However, if we turn it around and say
⟨ Wikipedia ⟩ quantity (P1114) ⟨  100000 ⟩
of (P642) ⟨ users ⟩
it's in my opinion more natural. --Pasleim (talk) 21:17, 12 May 2015 (UTC)
I on the other end of the line have a big problem with of (P642) personally, because it can be used everywhere and is not really well defined, plus a big problem with a main snack number: 10000 because it's meaningless as is, and it's exported alone in some Wikidata exports. Wikipedia is made of article, on the other hand, makes much more sense. As a car is made of 4 wheels, a car is made of wheels, and a car is made of 4. I actually already used this expression in Wikidada. But for the size of the community, it deserves a more specialized property anyway. Something like contributors or contributes, as contributors builds and manages the project. But we would nether say that Shakespeare is a part of Romeo and Juliet :) TomT0m ^(talk) 06:35, 13 May 2015 (UTC)

@Pigsonthewing: Per TomT0m, once you go that direction I think we already have the properties (I'm not sure those properties would correctly be used in that fashion however.

Oppose - has part(s) (P527) with the quantity (P1114) qualifier is a cleaner solution. It also is easy to cover a work that has multiple types of parts (321 entries, 12 appendices, 3 indices, 42 tables, etc.) Josh Baumgartner (talk) 18:55, 5 May 2015 (UTC)

Comment This is to replace P:P364 on items for given names. P364 used to have the label "language", but is now labelled "language of the original work", so it can't be used anymore and we need to find a replacement.

Question @Jura1: What's wrong with the generic "language" properties in this case ? Does not seem right to create one property for name, one other for whatever else, etc. A gender statement or/and make a statement like
⟨ Jean (Q4160311)    ⟩ instance of (P31) ⟨ female given name (Q11879590)    ⟩
seems useful, however
TomT0m ^(talk) 16:39, 23 February 2015 (UTC)
- I don't know. It's just that I need some sort of a property for these items. Given the new (English) label of P:P364, I can't use that anymore. --- Jura 18:10, 23 February 2015 (UTC)
- BTW, I improved the presentation of the example above. --- Jura 17:43, 24 February 2015 (UTC)
Question What about native label (P1705). It can be used in any supported language instead of label, and consists both the source language and original writing form. That method is best if infobox want to show the name in original form in Wikipedia article. However, there is problem for spoken only languages, but do we need it? If yes I would prefer generic property that point for the source language of any name, no only the given one, for etymological purposes. Paweł Ziemian (talk) 14:49, 11 April 2015 (UTC)

Properties for this type

Done: properties for this type (P1963) (Talk and documentation)

Data type	Property
Domain	items with a subclass of (P279) statement
Example	human (Q5) => sex or gender (P21)
Robot and gadget jobs	Create constraint violation report

Motivation

Could help us for documentation, conceptual clarity and maintenance. The most obvious use I see would be the creation of new kinds of "constraint violation" reports. The current system is organized by property, like Wikidata:Database reports/Constraint violations/P31. It is really useful for some purposes, but leaves holes and would usefully be supplemented by a system based on the item instance of (P31) statements. For instance, if human (Q5) (or a superclass of it) has a "properties for this type: sex or gender (P21)" statement, a constraint violation report would warn us about items that are instance of humans but do not have a P21. It is not easy to do this sort of things using a property-based method like Wikidata:Database reports/Constraint violations/P21.

Yes that proposal focuses on constraints on properties but there isn't a big difference between the constraint date of birth (P569) => sex or gender (P21) and human (Q5) => sex or gender (P21) so using the same property could simplify it. --Pasleim (talk) 16:00, 20 May 2015 (UTC)

Comment From the OWL point of view, this is (as the preceding proposal) a part of a class expression definition, more precisely an existential quantification. A class can be defined such that its instances have this property with some value. TomT0m ^(talk) 19:47, 19 May 2015 (UTC)

@Micru:, yep, I guess we should rename this property as it's way more precise as the current label to say that the template can be applied to the instances of the object of this property than to say it's the main topic or whatever. Do you have your answer ? It seems enough to check the properties from that item, and less redundant. TomT0m ^(talk) 14:20, 15 June 2015 (UTC)
@TomT0m: There is no need to change the label, you can write it in the description field if needed. The reason for leaving as it is, it is because of consistency with the other "main" properties.--Micru (talk) 18:25, 16 June 2015 (UTC)

Discussion

The street is the lowest level of spatial attribution/allocation/relation. For localities and municipalities various identifiers already exist, but not for streets and squares. The street key should be ~~referenced~~ qualified by a new item for the specific street cadastra.Leit (talk) 17:15, 29 January 2014 (UTC)

Comment I understand this as a kind of "generic" property: The number (or better string?) always has to be qualified by the something where the number stems from. This might be an administrative body (community or a certain administrative branch changing its name every now and then?) or an official list (instance of an official publication - but what to do when it's not published) maintained by such a body - I'm not sure which point of view works better for our purpose. -- Gymel (talk) 18:56, 29 January 2014 (UTC)

I guess a property "street key" would be equivalent to (subclass of (P279)?) or a more specific form of catalog code (P528) – thus a qualifier equivalent to catalog (P972) is needed. I'd like to add that one might even consider the possibility simply to state that a certain street or square is part of the official "street cadastre" at all even when the street key is unknown or doesn't exist. Thereby one could seperate or sort out those streets and especially squares which do not have an official but only an informal name – for example a certain building can be located at the Bahnhofsvorplatz (square in front of a train station) but this is not an official adress as the square is composed of parts of other streets. If that solution was to be applied "street key" would not make sense as a property but as a qualifier to (maybe?) part of (P361) => (experimentally new item:) street cadastre of Bonn (Q15701662). I'm still looking for a suitable umbrella form for "streets and squares that can officially be adressed".--Leit (talk) 00:24, 2 February 2014 (UTC) There's another example of how it can be useful to sort out "address streets" from other ones: A building can at the same time be located at Kreisstraße XY (no address street) and at Hauptstraße (address street). Also, the address street is not necessarily completely part of the non-address street – as an example it does often occur in Germany that a Hauptstraße (main street) within the downton area is part of such a street (Federal street, Landesstraße etc.) only up until the pedestrian zone.--Leit (talk) 13:35, 2 February 2014 (UTC)

Support but should always have a 'catalog' qualifier to indicate which registry the code comes from. Filceolaire (talk) 00:06, 18 May 2015 (UTC)

Why not just use child (P40) "unknown" however many times? --Yair rand (talk) 22:49, 22 June 2015 (UTC)
- There's several problems I can see with that idea: There's no way to specify a precision, e.g. see the page Andy linked to, the top entry is "1000-2000". Even if you decide on an exact number to add, nobody is going to want to add the same thing tens or hundreds of times (and it would make the page really slow to load if you did). It's really hard to tell just how many times you've used a property the more times you use it. Then there's a risk that people will think that they're duplicate statements and remove them. - Nikki (talk) 00:44, 23 June 2015 (UTC)
  - I like the idea to some extent: the list is rather an exception, but I'm also worried about people removing them as duplicates. Counting them isn't necessarily easy either.
    When creating new properties, there is always a compromise to make between the theoretically ideal way and the practicalities of adding and maintaining and retrieving statements.

Why restrict to holotype (Q1061403)? --Succu (talk) 16:45, 22 February 2015 (UTC)

Yes, that is a good question: the normal thing would be "type" (nomenclatural type). BTW: why in French? Why disregard databases? Perhaps we should do "type locality" first, as there are quite a few Wikipedia pages already reporting that. - Brya (talk) 17:28, 22 February 2015 (UTC)

"French"? "disregard databases"? Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 21:01, 22 February 2015 (UTC)

Well, "taxons" is French for "taxa". And I imagine there are more sources for this information, in particular databases. And I don't see a reason for separate properties, or qualifiers, for the several kinds of types. There (usually) is only one type, and it is in only one place, and to that location it is irrelevant what the nature of the type is. It would make more sense to have a property "nomenclatural type" referring to a type specimen (or illustration) and attach a qualifier to that, to indicate the nature of the type.

But location of the type is pretty far down the list of properties I would want. I would rather have a property indicating the gender of a generic name, or indicating if a specific name/epithet is a noun or adjective. Type locality looks more desirable as well. Or, if there is interest in types, a direct link to a picture of the type (there are tens of thousands of these available). - Brya (talk) 05:40, 23 February 2015 (UTC)

You are of course welcome to propose any additional properties you see fit; we're hardly likely to run out of space for them. The term "Taxons" is in the pro-forma proposal template; I'm not aware that the source parameter is required to be exhaustive. I wonder how you would distinguish paratype (Q926578), syntype (Q719822), and allotypes, from holotypes? Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 12:39, 23 February 2015 (UTC)

Paratypes, syntypes and allotypes are not really an issue: they are not types, but terms having "type" in the term indicating them (there are a lot such terms). Actually, syntypes are odd, they are not types under the ICNafp, but they are (more or less) under the ICZN. However, the moment a serious taxonomist looks at them they stop being types. - Brya (talk) 17:25, 23 February 2015 (UTC)

I'm not averse to having a single "type specimen" (or whatever it might be called) property, if that's what "serous taxonomists" advise. Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 21:09, 23 February 2015 (UTC)

We could have another property for other type(s) or have one and add a qualifier, I suppose. Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 21:01, 22 February 2015 (UTC)

Neutral: I suppose it would not hurt to have this, but I don't see it has any priority. If we would have links to type specimens, this would become mostly superfluous. - Brya (talk) 06:00, 24 February 2015 (UTC)

type is held by is superfluous. We can model this allready:

Create a new item, name it DONMG:1983.98,
add collection (P195) = Danum Gallery, Library and Museum (Q5295507),
add instance of (P31) = list of taxonomic terms that include "type" (Q3546082),
add taxonomic type (P427) = DONMG:1983.98 to the taxon item.

What we need is a property for the type status. And we need a clear understandung how to model a Specimen or Taxon Occurrence. The new created item DONMG:1983.98 could have a bunch of other usefull information eg:

catalog number
collector
collecting date
geolocation
type for taxonname
sex
...

-- Succu (talk) 12:26, 24 February 2015 (UTC)

I assume the taxonomic type (P427) = DONMG:1983.98 and perhaps the collection (P195) = Danum Gallery, Library and Museum (Q5295507) (a qualifier?) would be added to the taxon item.

Well yes, I suppose this is possible. It would also be possible to give every specimen ever collected its own item. Given that we have some 1.9 million taxon names we could have some 1.8 million items for type specimens/illustrations. However, it looks like an immense amount of effort for only a small gain in the amount of information. Who would really want to know this? There has been only a small start in eliminating completely fictitious taxa, so data quality is far from guaranteed in what data now is present. And I imagine there are other properties to add that would be more interesting to the user of data. - Brya (talk) 17:31, 24 February 2015 (UTC)

We have a little bit more than 500 usages of taxonomic type (P427). I do not expect a great incease using type speciemens in the near future. But we have c:Category:Type specimens too. So if someone is interested s/he could work on these. If Andy Mabbett agrees I would remodel this proposal into one for type status. --Succu (talk) 18:34, 24 February 2015 (UTC)

BTW: Europeana (Q234110) has more than 75,000 images of type specimens. We can link to them via P727 (P727). --Succu (talk) 18:56, 24 February 2015 (UTC)

Five hundred usages of taxonomic type (P427) is indeed very little, especially given how commonly this is included on Wikipedia's. What do you mean by "type status"? The link to Europeana (Q234110) does not lead to type specimens (there are four specimens of Schotia africana on the first page). Typing in "holotype" gives 16 results. - Brya (talk) 19:39, 24 February 2015 (UTC)

type status - or however we name that property - should provide the „type of the type” eg holotype (Q1061403), lectotype (Q2439719)... --Succu (talk) 21:06, 24 February 2015 (UTC)

Oh yes, that. As pointed out above we will indeed need that, as a qualifier, once we have some kind of property/structure to handle type specimens. Something like "nature of type" ("kind of type"?) looks better to me; they have the status of "name-bearing type" or "nomenclature type". - Brya (talk) 05:55, 25 February 2015 (UTC)

I gave it a second thought and came to the conclusion that we don't need a new property. Have a look at the value of taxonomic type (P427) in Ichthyosaurus anningae (Q19346236), Acanthocalycium ferrarii (Q337692) (holotypes) and Cereus hexagonus (Q1055079) (an illustration as lectotype). instance of (P31) should do the job. --Succu (talk) 15:03, 25 February 2015 (UTC)

That would work, in principle. It will then be convenient to have an "is the type of" property. -Brya (talk) 18:40, 25 February 2015 (UTC)

Yep. That's the one we need. --Succu (talk) 18:43, 25 February 2015 (UTC)

However, misuse seems likely. It would be appropriate for a type specimen to have "is the type of" and for an animal it would be appropriate for a type species to have "is the type of", but for a plant species it would not be appropriate to have "is the type of". - Brya (talk) 18:58, 25 February 2015 (UTC)

Sry, but I do not catch your point. A type specimen acting as a nomenclature type should be linked to the taxon item. Otherwise it might be got lost. --Succu (talk) 19:45, 25 February 2015 (UTC)

There is a big difference between the ICZN and the ICNafp: Under the ICZN the type of a family is a type genus, under the ICNafp the type of a family is a specimen (or illustration), and it may be indicated by referring to a type genus (the "type genus" is only an indication, not a type). Thus, there is an asymmetrical relationship (even under the ICZN there is a degree of asymmetry: a single type genus can be the type for a tribe, a subfamily, a family, a superfamily, etc) . - Brya (talk) 06:54, 26 February 2015 (UTC)

Motivation

A taxon treatment is the formally published scientific description for a specific taxonomic name, e.g. a Latin binomen for a species. They can be very rich in terms of data included, from morphological descriptions to comments on distributions to lists of observation records. Increasingly, links are provided that connect statements made in the treatments to external resources, such as DNA sequences, images, etc. In other words, at the time of publication, a treatment is the most authoritative opinion about a particular taxon (species, genus, etc.). Currently, there are 70,000 treatments available on Plazi, with plans to extend that to 1 Million treatments within the next couple of years (as per Taxonomic information exchange and copyright: the Plazi approach (Q20650433), treatments are considered data and thus do not qualify as work in a legal sense and are thus not copyrighted). Providing items about taxa with statements pointing to the relevant treatments on Plazi would help coordinate taxonomic and nomenclatural information. --Daniel Mietchen (talk) 23:57, 8 July 2015 (UTC) WikiProject Taxonomy has more than 50 participants and couldn't be pinged. Please post on the WikiProject's talk page instead.

Hmm, at first I was rather thrown by the marketing phrase "taxon treatment". As I understand it, this is a project to present data on species, data gleaned from working through taxonomic papers. It looks like there is quite a bit of useful stuff gathered here (I don't know how easily accessible this may be otherwise), so in principle I am in favour. I quite dislike the name "Plazi taxon treatment ID", and this should be changed to something more descriptive: wouldn't a simple "Plazi ID" do? - Brya (talk) 05:21, 9 July 2015 (UTC)

I'm fine with going for "Plazi ID" for the moment, but Plazi also has IDs for things other than treatments (namely publications, authors, and ~~taxa~~scientific names), so something more descriptive may become necessary somewhen down the line. --Daniel Mietchen (talk) 22:44, 9 July 2015 (UTC)

Diseases are often mainly associated with one or two medical specialties. This property would be associated with diseases, symptoms, or procedures. Not sure if this is the same as what they are proposing below. This is more what specialty generally treats disease X or does procedure Y. In other words what medical field does it belong to. Doc James (talk · contribs · email) (if I write on your page reply on mine) 23:21, 4 July 2015 (UTC)

@Doc James: I get that but I think it's possible to generalize such relationships to other disciplines, for example if pneumonia belongs to some medical field, fish belongs to some biology field as well. The fact that it's a medical specialties is redundant because we already know that for example pneumology is a medical specialty, and that the subject is a desease. So forgetting the medical in the property definition, I think we get something very close to study of. So by parcimony, I would be to keep only the most general one, study of ... The question left for me is why would not that work ? Plus it's useful because it cross the boundaries between medical research, which is a science, with medical care, which is the practice ... TomT0m ^(talk) 15:09, 8 July 2015 (UTC)

So pneumonia would be "studied by" pulmonology? No sure how "study of" would look. This is clinical medicine which is seperate from basic research. I thus see a clearer term like "medical speciality" as useful. We plan to use this classification to organize the medical apps we are coming out with [4] Doc James (talk · contribs · email) (if I write on your page reply on mine) 06:07, 11 July 2015 (UTC)

Support Medical conditions are often classified by the medical specialties which study them. Commonly one specialty oversees particular diseases, in which case this kind of classification would be easy. When more than one specialty oversees a condition still there is almost always only a few at most who might be tagged here. This is a natural way of cataloging medical conditions which matches practice and the published literature. Blue Rasberry (talk) 14:05, 8 July 2015 (UTC)

  - @Jura1: It's another reason to create an item if the string does not identify anything (more precisely if there is several ids per manufacturer). The item can be use as a database to collect all the labels used in the exif by the manufacturer. It should be added as properties as string, for example
    ⟨ Sony ⟩ exif manufacturer id Search ⟨ Sony ⟩
    
    ⟨ Sony ⟩ exif manufacturer id Search ⟨ SONY (whatever) ⟩
    ... and as aliases to ease the lookup. It's what aliases are for. (and the same holds for the models). author TomT0m / talk page 13:30, 17 July 2015 (UTC)
    - I don't think I understand your idea, but as it seems to be theoretical, I suppose it doesn't matter. --- Jura 13:42, 17 July 2015 (UTC)
      - @Jura1: What ? If I know the picture was taken by Canon EOS 7D (Q66219), I know the manufacturer is Canon Inc. (Q62621)   . By arbitrary access I just can show the manufacturer if needed. Exif manufacturer string is just redundant, so we don't need it for every picture, just for the camera. It's not theorical, it's just practice, we just need a WIkidata query and a exif manufacturer id with string datatype to do the lookups with no redundancy. author TomT0m / talk page 15:31, 17 July 2015 (UTC)
        Sorry, but I don't get your usecase, but maybe if you formulate your own proposal, maybe it will be clearer. --- Jura 15:47, 17 July 2015 (UTC)
        I don't have a usecase, I just explain hy I'm opposing. But it seems I lost myself somewhere in the discussion and got confused, in the end I thought we were speaking on properties for images :/ . See below.
Support but with a domain digital camera manufacturer. Use the manufacturer property to find the exif string from the camera model item. author TomT0m / talk page 16:02, 17 July 2015 (UTC)
- I guess we could apply it there as well, but I'd rather see which one a model uses (Is it "OLYMPUS OPTICAL CO.,LTD" or "OLYMPUS CORPORATION" or "OLYMPUS IMAGING CORP."?). Anyways, I take it that you finally support the above proposal for exif model? --- Jura 09:30, 18 July 2015 (UTC)

Chinese names are for sure sorted by similarity of the signs and the number of lines in the signs (quite a difiicult task to know the exact order of 2500 signs) and not like the transcriptions according to the alphabet.--Giftzwerg 88 (talk) 17:25, 24 October 2014 (UTC)

Comment If it's a qualifier, string datatype would probably be sufficient. Otherwise, it might need to be a monolingual string. --- Jura 18:59, 24 October 2014 (UTC)

As a librarian, I have to warn you that this is a very complex matter that can't be simply reduced to "In Europe and America usually by last name and then first name". But, rejoice: There is a standard work of reference, it's called Names of Persons and issued by the IFLA. A scanned version of the 4th edition is available as a PDF at the IFLA website. For example, in Iceland the sort order is "First name - last name" (the last name in Iceland usually being not a family name, but a patronymic - most Icelanders don't have a family name). And there are languages such as Spanish with multi-part name where the sort order also isn't obvious. "Names of Persons" helps in these matters. Gestumblindi (talk) 23:31, 27 October 2014 (UTC)

Oh, and of course - I

Support this proposal, as a meaningful sort order is very important. Gestumblindi (talk) 00:10, 28 October 2014 (UTC)

Comment Persondata DOES NOT contain sort value for names. The |name= is supposed to be surname, firstname. About 20% of the cases, it is entered wrong, usually firstname, surname. DEFAULSORT contains the sort value in all Biography articles. Sort value does not equal surname, firstname in alot of cases.

Examples:

Otto von Bismark... DEFAULTSORT:Bismark, Otto persondata |name=von Bismark, Otto.

Francisco da Costa Gomes... DEFAULTSORT:Gomez, Francisco persondata |name=da Costa Gomes, Francisco.

Persondata name value contains names with ligatures, accents and other characters. Sort value is only to be the standard 26-letter English alphabet plus ".'.

Example:

Two people, one named José Márquez, the other Jose Marquez. If standard 26-letter alphabet is not used, the two names will be sorted in different spots.

DEFAULTSORT values DO FOLLOW IFLA guidelines. See en:WP:NAMESORT for rules. There are two exceptions. WikiProject Iceland has said to follow western sort order for DEFAULTSORT. WikiProject Brazil and WikiProject Football has said Brazilian footballers have defaultsort set to their nickname.

I have been the maintainer of DEFAULTSORT on enwiki for several years now. If you have questions, I would be the one to ask. Bgwhite (talk) 01:11, 28 October 2014 (UTC)

Yes, Persondata often contains wrong name sorting, but it does try to do name sorting - otherwise, why should the sort order in "name" be "supposed to be surname, firstname" at all? That's a way of sorting, too. I'm not that familiar with English Persondata, more with German Personendaten. Maybe there are more errors in the English variant. "von Bismarck, Otto" is wrong, it should be "Bismarck, Otto von", of course. - That said, if it turns out that the sort order in Persondata is wrong too often, maybe it would be better for Wikidata to extract it from DEFAULTSORT instead of Persondata. - There may be conflicting results when extracting from different Wikipedia language versions. For example, German Wikipedia follows the IFLA guidelines for sorting Icelandic names in DEFAULTSORT resp. (in German) SORTIERUNG (so, first name first). Gestumblindi (talk) 14:37, 28 October 2014 (UTC)

Comment as a librarian too, I can only agree to the need for a sorting value... at least for Person's names...

but I see problems, even between latin-language names...

the sorting habits are not the same in all countries, even in countries using the same language ; therefore, different sorting values should be made for different languages...
and this will be even more complicated for russian/chinese/etc. languages... Translitteration makes it very difficult to sort names... just have a look at Tchekov's name :S - and this is for a "modern" person... imagine for medieval names which could be written differently by the same person :/ - and of course, it works backwards, for our "simple" latin names, when translitterated in... just how many non-latin languages are there in wikidata ? --Hsarrazin (talk) 15:49, 28 October 2014 (UTC)

how could this be solved in wikidata... ? probably, it would be best to have each part of the name in a separate property, and then let each project assemble them to have a sortkey...

Sounds reasonable (though a bit complicated). A sort key may also be valuable for other names than names of persons - e.g. work titles - you don't want to sort all book titles beginning with "The ..." under T, e.g. English Wikipedia has DEFAULTSORT:Shining, The. Gestumblindi (talk) 20:27, 31 October 2014 (UTC)

of course not… :D — pardon me for laughing, but that is exactly what the library-catalog at my job does… :(

for titles, if you look at wikisource fr for example… the text pages are named with the correct title, and, without adding manually a DEFAULTSORT, except in very rare cases, we have a "Classement" module, automatically applied through Title or Proofreadpage header template, so that the texts are sorted according to French rules… I don't think the same rules apply in all languages… but a similar system could perhaps be set for every language :) --Hsarrazin (talk) 01:42, 1 November 2014 (UTC)

Support but it's important we indicate which system applies - names in Irish (Gaelic) are sorted by different rules (you ignore the Ó or Mac prefix so Ó Rourke and Mac Raeman are sorted together). Filceolaire (talk) 20:49, 31 October 2014 (UTC)

Actually no. You do not ignore Ó or Mac per University College, Dublin and National Library of Ireland. However, I've seen both systems used. But you do hit the most important thing... indicate which system applies. If supported, there should be a group who writes out the rules. Sounds like Hsarrazin and Gestumblindi should be in the group. Sounds like German and English Wikipedia's base things from IFLA guidelines, so that is probably the best starting point. I personally favour a fight to the death. :) Bgwhite (talk) 00:01, 2 November 2014 (UTC)

Reject as proposed. This needs a multilingual field as the sortkey will differ by language. --Izno (talk) 07:52, 21 November 2014 (UTC)

It depends. Libraries try to apply a standard that is on the one hand language-specific, on the other hand universal, such as in the already mentioned Names of Persons. Persons are entered according to the custom in the respective person's language, notwithstanding the language of the library's location. So, a library following "Names of Persons" will sort Spanish persons according to Spanish convention, and Icelandic persons according to Iceland convention, even if it's a library in Switzerland or in Poland. This would be a possible approach here IMHO. So we wouldn't need a "Spanish sorting" and a "Polish sorting" for the same person, but just one, the one according to the person's language. Gestumblindi (talk) 21:58, 25 November 2014 (UTC)

The problem with that approach is that isn't how it's done on any particular wiki--each of which will and do have different sorting conventions. --Izno (talk) 00:12, 27 November 2014 (UTC)

Support but using DEFAULTSORT as the source. I am speaking as someone who has used the metadata provided by Persondata. I gave up using the name parameter - it was just too random. Even using the name parameter to display the persons name was impossible! My final solution was to display the Wiki page name and use DEFAULTSORT for ordering. Periglio (talk) 02:03, 18 January 2015 (UTC)

Support But I suggest to link it to some language rules. As mentioned above, there are different rules for different languages, so we need a name of type monolinugal (original name as a person would describe itself in its mother tongue) and a set of rules for a defined group of some languages and may be some other sets of rules for some other languages. We need this property if we want to replace the templates by properties of Wikidata.--Giftzwerg 88 (talk) 00:39, 16 February 2015 (UTC)

Doubts sv.wikisource and sv.wikipedia do not have the same sorting order, so I find it difficult to find a good solution here, even if we have one order for each language. And the sorting order of Swedish names depend on their age, so the language does not give enough information. -- Innocent bystander (talk) 09:31, 23 March 2015 (UTC)

Actually Izno a multilingual datatype won't work for this property, although we definitely need multiple languages corresponding to different languages. This is because we need to be able to qualify each of those multiple values to say which rules that value is following. As I understand it the multilingual datatype will count as one value - you can't have different qualifiers for each language. Andy Mabbett, Gestumblindi, Hsarrazin , perhaps we should rename this as "IFLA sort key" with other properties created later as required for other rule systems?

@Pigsonthewing, Pasleim, Giftzwerg 88, Micru, Crazy1880, Jura1:.

IMO this should be restricted to IFLA sorting method because at least that's a standard way to do this. --Izno (talk) 17:55, 26 June 2015 (UTC)

It seems usefull to me, if we use the IFLA sorting method as a default sorting method. However there might exist different sorting methods for non-western languages like Chinese.--Giftzwerg 88 (talk) 00:59, 27 June 2015 (UTC)

@Innocent bystander: I do not know the answer to your question, however you can take a look to this IFLA publication and try to find it out on your own.--Micru (talk) 08:21, 27 June 2015 (UTC)

Ok, but after I have read only a few pages in that document, it looks like the IFLA-key depends on 1 language, 2 country, 3 time, (but maybe not in that order). It then looks far to complicated to be used with the tools we have with the string datatype. We at least need a monolingual-datatype with both P17- and time-qualifiers. -- Innocent bystander (talk) 08:36, 27 June 2015 (UTC)

It is true that you need to know those things, but you don't need to qualify it, those are statements that are already present in the item.--Micru (talk) 09:35, 27 June 2015 (UTC)

Well, to me it looks more like it is based on where the library is, what langauge it is based upon and when it it can be found. It does not look like it is based on the nationality/language/age of the subject. That is why we on svwikisource use another principles than svwikipedia. Wikisource is mainly based on texts from 19th and 20th century, while Wikipedia only has texts from the 21st century. The difference is that W was introduced to our alphabet as late as 2006. I think Q was introduced around 1900. Å, Ä and Ö was introduced much earlier. Before 1521 we had for example Æ. -- Innocent bystander (talk) 11:46, 27 June 2015 (UTC)

Source	external reference, Wikipedia list article, etc.

Motivation

Revised Romanisation replaced McCune-Reischauer (already added as McCune-Reischauer romanization (P1942)) as the official romanisation system in South Korea and is included in various templates about Korean topics. - Nikki (talk) 11:29, 26 June 2015 (UTC)

Discussion

Support but only as a qualifier property to the various string and text properties (e.g. "name" properties, see previous item). Remember each item has lots of labels and these can change. Changes to labels should not affect this property. My preferred language is english so the example here says that the Romanisation for the phrase "Revised Romanization of Korean" is "Gugeoui Romaja Pyogibeop" which makes no sense so I have updated it. Nikki please check I got it right. Filceolaire (talk) 01:20, 27 June 2015 (UTC)

No, it says the name in Korean using the Revised Romanisation system is "Gugeoui Romaja Pyogibeop". That's true regardless of whether the normal Korean label is displayed or not. We could make the property name something like "name in Korean using Revised Romanisation system" but I'm not sure what the point would be, since it's a lot longer, doesn't change the meaning of the property and we can already describe the meaning of a property in the property's description. This should be used just like McCune-Reischauer romanization (P1942), which again you supported without any requirements for it to be a qualifier - see my question above. Where are you getting your examples from anyway? Both the Korean text and the romanisation were wrong in the example you replaced mine with. - Nikki (talk) 07:16, 27 June 2015 (UTC)

If an item has more than one name (i.e. if it has any Korean aliases) then it isn't clear which name is being romanised. I recently came across an item about a writer where the English and the Italian wikipedia articles were named after different pseudonyms. That item now has a "birth name" and three "pseudonym" statements. It seems bizarre to have a statement with the name in Revised Romanisation without a statement with the corresponding name in Korean script. Otherwise you could just put the Revised Romanisation name in an alias - that's why I think the romanisation should be a qualifier to a statement giving the name in Korean script.. I agree the same comments apply to McCune-Reischauer romanization (P1942).

Alternatively we need to change how the Monolingual text datatype works so that we can specify the script used as well as the language.

Thanks for sorting my examples. I got them from articles on English and Korean wikipedia. By the way if the Revised romanisation of "Park Geun-hye" is "Bak Geunhye" then what Romanisation system is "Park Geun-hye"? Filceolaire (talk) 02:50, 28 June 2015 (UTC)

@Kopiersperre: et al! The Swedish bot-category is removed when the article has been reviewed by ordinary users. And the category has not been added in bot-projects, when such reviews has not been considered necessary. So a "bot-created" badge would look inaccurate to me, it would rather say: "Unreviewed article".

I have bot-created articles myself. But in contrast to Lsj, I have refused to create articles with a Bot-created-category. When the policy have enforced me to do so, I have refused to create articles. -- Innocent bystander (talk) 09:37, 7 July 2015 (UTC)

Motivation

The RSL ID (person) (P947) used for persones. But for books, magazines, maps, music sheets etc is needed other property to change URL formatter (local_base=xall instead of local_base=RSL11).

Relation with RSL scanned publication ID (P1815): P1815 points to the scanned book, issues of periodical, but the proposed prоperty identify the any thing, stored at RSL, scanned or not scanned. If P1815 value starts with "01", then last nine digits is this identifier. But in some cases P1815 starts with "60" (e.g. P1815 = 60000097673 is issues 1-12, 1888 of "Пантеон литературы" magazine), then last nine digits is NOT this identifier. So this identifier cannot extracted from P1815 in common case and vice versa.

It may be used in the card templetes with more friendly URL: http://search.rsl.ru/ru/catalog/record/$1, english version - http://search.rsl.ru/en/catalog/record/$1.

Also it helps to search a scanned, books, issues of periodical at http://search.rsl.ru/ (e.g. try "@id 3353086" for the issues of Illustratsiya Magazine (Q15628819)). -- Sergey kudryavtsev (talk) 07:38, 22 May 2015 (UTC)

Discussion

Question: Very few items currently use RSL scanned publication ID (P1815). Since the scan file is linked directly from the catalog page (I checked), why not change the property statements and formatter URL to include the catalog entry for authority control rather than the scan? (Yes, this may require fixing some current uses but there are so few it might take minutes.) This is what we currently do with Library of Congress Control Number (LCCN) (bibliographic) (P1144) and NLM Unique ID (P1055). Both link to the catalog entry. If there is a scan available, it is linked to from that page. We don't link directly to scans for either. It's important in the fact that libraries add scans all the time. If we link to the catalog page, then by proxy we're catching the scan too. Aside, I've noticed that many people here link to the Google Books page for many items here, despite not all of them having scans available. Back to your proposal, what I'm suggesting would likely require discussion at the property itself as well, but I think this is much more useful and would serve what you are suggesting without creating a new (somewhat confusing to newcomers) property.

@Hazmat2:, @Kolja21: Why not change the property statements and formatter URL — In "Motivation" i answer this question: a scans like 60000097673, there are no id at all. Most issues of periodical has a scan ids 60XXXXXXXXX. -- Sergey kudryavtsev (talk) 14:26, 22 May 2015 (UTC)
- In my opinion, a specific issue of a periodical doesn't usually have authority control data anyway. Is there not a catalog entry for the periodical itself? That would be odd for a library to have scans for something but no catalog entry. Hazmat2 (talk) 14:34, 22 May 2015 (UTC)
  @Hazmat2: Is there not a catalog entry for the periodical itself? — Example: the id 005029538 describe all issues of "Пантеон литературы" together (it may be used for authority control). The id 60000097673 is a scan of jan—dec 1888 issues. See you you a big banner "This document don`t have digital copy" at first link? It's a lie! The scan id may be found via 005029538 at aleph.rsl.ru. See you pdf-links? -- Sergey kudryavtsev (talk) 14:50, 22 May 2015 (UTC)

Thanks for the clarification. Interestingly enough, The MARC record on that page says there is an electronic copy, but the link is missing. Have you found this to be common there? Hazmat2 (talk) 17:16, 22 May 2015 (UTC)

See s:ru:Участник:Sergey kudryavtsev/Журналы и газеты#aleph.rsl.ru. The (pdf) means the RSL record with valid pdf links at aleph.rsl.ru, (~~pdf~~) means RSL record with invalid links. It's possible that those links is intended for internal use by the library staff — i don't know. In any case, valid pdf links is very rare. -- Sergey kudryavtsev (talk) 18:22, 22 May 2015 (UTC)

Weak oppose @Sergey: As you say: We got the property "RSL identifier" RSL ID (person) (P947) already. What you are proposing is a property "RSL editions". @Hazmat2: +1. Let's change the use of RSL scanned publication ID (P1815) from "RSL scanned book's identifier" to "RSL editions". --Kolja21 (talk) 13:11, 22 May 2015 (UTC)

See my answer to Hazmat2 above. -- Sergey kudryavtsev (talk) 14:28, 22 May 2015 (UTC)

I changed en title to "RSL identifier of publication" for distinctness. -- Sergey kudryavtsev (talk) 14:38, 22 May 2015 (UTC)

Weak support: While I don't like the idea of having multiple identifiers for essentially the same thing, I realize that in this case they're not, and that it has more to do with the RSL not really getting its act together. If we need two links to point to the catalog entry and the scan at one library because they're not necessarily linked, I think that's probably okay. However, I would still like to note that we don't do this for others and it's hard to fully support doing it for this reason. Hazmat2 (talk) 03:27, 30 May 2015 (UTC)
We can add a constraint template, which warns if P1815 and this property is used together. But the best solution ihmo is a conditional URL fornatter (the condition is regex): if P1815 is 11 digits (regex \d{11}) than it has a URL http://dlib.rsl.ru/viewer/$1, if P1815 is 9 digits (regex \d{9}), then it has a URL http://aleph.rsl.ru/F?func=direct-set&l_base=xall&doc_number=$1. A conditional URL fornatter can be apply to Open Library ID (P648) too. -- Sergey kudryavtsev (talk) 08:58, 30 May 2015 (UTC)

German Biography id

Not done

Description	Biographical data from the Deutsche Biographie (Q1202222): 268.000 persons (December 2014).
Data type	String
Template parameter	ID of de:Template:Deutsche Biographie and fr:Modèle:Deutsche Biographie
Domain	person (including families)
Example	Albert von Holleben (Q100776), described by source (P1343): Deutsche Biographie (Q1202222) with the qualifier "German Biography id" → ppn116963646 Friedrich von Klocke (Q18020317) → sfz42943 Markwartinger family (Q1901950) → sfz58457
Source	Deutsche Biographie (Q1202222) with biographical data of 268.000 persons [7], [8]
Formatter URL	http://www.deutsche-biographie.de/$1.html#indexcontent

Motivation

Main portal for biographies of people from Germany. The database contains the articles from the Allgemeine Deutsche Biographie (Q590208) and Neue Deutsche Biographie (Q222784), complemented with new biographical data. IDs with the prefix "ppn" should match with GND ID (P227). @APPER, Gymel‎, Marcus Cyron: Was haltet ihr davon? --Kolja21 (talk) 17:26, 8 May 2015 (UTC)

Why not described by source (P1343) = Allgemeine Deutsche Biographie (Q590208) or Neue Deutsche Biographie (Q222784) with qualifier reference URL (P854)? -- Sergey kudryavtsev (talk) 09:48, 12 May 2015 (UTC)
Comment Good point. I've improved the property documentation. The ADB contains the biographies of "only" 26.500 and NDB (vol. 1-25) of 21.800 persons. (They can be cited with described by source (P1343) and qualifiers like vol., pages, author etc.) The Deutsche Biographie (Q1202222) contains - since its relaunch in December 2014 - the biographical data of 268.000 persons. The ID is used by the Wikipedia templates and is needed for the Database reports/Constraint violations. If the URL changes the ID stays the same. --Kolja21 (talk) 04:01, 13 May 2015 (UTC)

Some remarks
1. Links from biographie-portal.eu use the "sfz" kind of numbers/links to www.deutsche-biographie.de which may be even more stable (there are cases where they initially performed a wrong GND identification: When that is corrected at a later point of time old links become invalid without notice - so much to "permalinks", also - currently - http://www.deutsche-biographie.de/sfz55246.html does work and the officially advertised http://www.deutsche-biographie.de/ppn118575449.html does not ;-).
2. As mentioned above such a link may have an ADB link or an NDB link or both as target. ADB is a historical publication and closed as such, NDB the current one, also available in print. Additionally, ADB exists as a Wikisource edition in final stages of proofing, where identification with GND numbers sometimes is improved or different from that of the official site.
3. Additionally there are the scanned volumes of NDB and ADB which - as online versions of a printed work in their own right - can be adressed by their nbn-URN (or rather a URL resolvable from that) and page number: NDB vol. 15, image 563 / page 549. urn:nbn:de:bvb:12-bsb00016333-7 and ADB vol. 19, image 662 / page 660. urn:nbn:de:bvb:12-bsb00008377-4 (I don't know about them adopting the "granular" URN concept for these publications, but there could be individual URNs for the individual articles within those scanned volumes in the future).

My priority therefore would be to have a working paradigm for interlinking the items for ADB articles from s:de (AFAIK the "ADB:" sub-namespace has not been imported yet) with their subject items here on the one hand and with the "same" articles (Online ADB/NDB, Scanned versions of printed ADB/NDB) found elsewhere on the other: Maybe a NDB/ADB linking property would be more versatile for the article items than the persons themselves. --- Gymel (talk) 08:03, 13 May 2015 (UTC)

@Gymel: You are talking about the ADB (and the deutsche-biographie.de website of 2007). This property should be used for the "new" Deutsche Biographie (Q1202222) (relaunched in December 2014). The URL (...#indexcontent) links to the index page (not to the ADB or NDB article, if one exists). The Deutsch Biographie is not generally searchable through biographie-portal.eu. This portal is only using the ADB & NDB index. Take the above example: Albert N. Holleben (Deutsche Biographie). Search his name in biographie-portal.eu. Result: "Ihre Suche ergab keine Treffer." --Kolja21 (talk) 14:41, 13 May 2015 (UTC)
Oppose Let's try to improve our own indexing of ADB first. --- Jura 21:50, 18 May 2015 (UTC)

@Jura1: Forget about the ADB. This proposal is about the de:Deutsche Biographie. Non of the three examples given above have an article in the Allgemeine Deutsche Biographie. The ADB has articles about 26.500 persons (all died before the year 1900), the Deutsche Biographie has biographical data of 268.000 persons (including the whole 20th century). But if you insist talking about the ADB and someone needs a direct link, just add "... #adbcontent" to the URL of the Deutsche Biographie property and in the case there is an article about this person in the ADB, you got it. Alternatively, you can use the item created for the transcription of the article in Wikisource. --Kolja21 (talk) 02:23, 19 May 2015 (UTC)

We already link to GND and re-adding these in another property is just redundant. Editing the formatter url on the existing property would give the same. For the rare exceptions, you can work with the proposal by Sergey. --- Jura 05:50, 19 May 2015 (UTC)

Well than make a proposal how we can include the Deutsche Biographie as a source in a better way. Using the URL http://www.deutsche-biographie.de/sfz... instead of a property provides maintenance effort and is hardly useful for the Wikipedia templates. If one day all identifiers are replace by GND a bot can check the ids an delete the property. --Kolja21 (talk) 13:59, 19 May 2015 (UTC)

Oppose On revisit: I think the main point is that currently nobody knows what Deutsche Biographie (Q1202222) really is: Certainly a website and a kind of brand name, at the beginnings 14 years ago it contained biographical data from ADB and NDB indexes, then gave also full text access to the two biographic dictionaries (they are the publishers of the two works, thus the website is the home and access vehicle of the official online editions), and now they have extended their database by about 150% to encompass also biographical data from "partner projects": After the website's relaunch half a year ago the name now seems to squat claims for a vision of a (future?, virtual?? definitely purely online) German Dictionary of National Biography but IMHO its way too early to tell how this will look like and whether one really would like to have links to them instead of providing specific links to real biographies as part of distinguished and more real constituent biographical collections... -- Gymel (talk) 10:36, 13 June 2015 (UTC)

For the German and English WP this is ok. But right now the Deutsche Biographie is already a great help for smaller Wikipedias that have no links to ADB & NDB. WD should provide the information for all infoboxes and templates regardless of German and English WP. --Kolja21 (talk) 14:11, 13 June 2015 (UTC)

I'd be fine with the immediate creation of a dedicated property for Neue Deutsche Biographie (Q222784). Of course also a property for Allgemeine Deutsche Biographie (Q590208) would be more than appropriate, but I share Juras concern that we are still lacking a solution to integrate printed work, official online Version and the Wikisource "edition". I'm optimistic that in the future we'll develop a routine way of intergrating these huge "dictionary" projects from the Wikisource sites and then we'll have immediately a working and almost completely filled ADB property I presume. -- Gymel (talk) 15:47, 13 June 2015 (UTC)

Fine for me. Let's do two dedicated properties for these works at Wikisource (item property type). --- Jura 16:30, 13 June 2015 (UTC)

So we will have two new propteries instead of one, and both can't be used with de:Template:Deutsche Biographie? I honor the work of Wikisource but we don't need these transcripts any more. For ADB we have a better source @deutsche-biographie.de. For NDB we can't link to Wikisource because AFAIK for copyright reasons there are no NDB articles on Wikisource. Example: Why should we link to s:de:ADB:Kant,_Immanuel if we have a reliable source deutsche-biographie.de/sfz39751 with the full ADB article, plus: the NDB article, "Partnerlinks", "Weitere Angebote", "Relationen", "Erwähnungen", and "Orte"? --Kolja21 (talk) 05:30, 14 June 2015 (UTC)

Thats the point: NDB ist plain old "Authority control": Provide a URL fragment and klicking on it will reveal something to the user.

For ADB however IMHO we need a property which reflects that there exist a wikidata item for the article plus one or more contexts for reading it online. Otherwise we would need three to four ADB properties, one for print, one for the official online version at deutsche-biographie.de and one or two for specifying the Wikisource item and creating a "shortcut" to a "Read-at-Wikisource" URL

If we would use the NDB-Template on German Wikpedia for item construction here at wikidata we would start encountering a similar problem: An dedicated item to provide a full citation of the dictionary article would start blocking the way of a "straightforward" content URL. This means that online dictionaries are problematic resources for "Authority control" since their URLs serve the double function of being identifiers and content accessors. This is probably closely related to the well known Problem called en:HTTPRange-14. -- Gymel (talk) 16:26, 14 June 2015 (UTC)

That this property is proposed in the list "authority control" is my fault. Of cause it would fit more in references. It was just by accident that I've started the discussion here. --Kolja21 (talk) 00:09, 15 June 2015 (UTC)

The WS item can hold additional information on the ADB entry itself (author). On the other hand, we can't link every mirror. BTW, in the meantime, the property for the other ADB was created and implemented. No detour there. --- Jura 11:39, 15 June 2015 (UTC)

Australian Dictionary of Biography id (AuDB) works like Deutsche Biographie id (DB): id + formatter URL. Linking to a mirror like a Wikisource page would be something else. --Kolja21 (talk) 17:25, 15 June 2015 (UTC)

As I stated above: Having a Wikisource mirror may be the reason why for (German) ADB we already have the issue. But if we would import the instances of en:Template:Australian Dictionary of Biography and turn each cited article into a Wikidata item of its own so they can be used for referencing claims, we would have a similar problem: What are our options for maintaining simple identifier-as-string cum URL pattern properties in the presence of full-fledged Wikidata items representing the target of the link? Perhaps it's even too early to ask this question since at the moment we dont't have any convincing way to express e.g. the connection from subjects of DNB00 articles to their corresponding items (which already exist), only the other way round, e.g. Sumner, John Bird (DNB00) (Q19070399) linking to John Bird Sumner (Q549733) via main subject (P921), but looking at John Bird Sumner (Q549733) there is no DNB00 property linking back to the item. I think the recent discussion with User:Vlsergey at Wikidata:Project chat#Change described by source (P1343) qualificator for Wikisource articles and the following section may be based on an attempt to find a solution for a similar problem, although it is formulated in the lines of Russian Wikisource being able to perform some data access: Give the dataset (dictionary, namespace, you name it) priority in formulating the claim (this is almost as explicit as having a dedicated property) and acknowledge the existence of a specific Wikidata item by stating an item-valued property as additional "qualifier". For the example above an analogous solution would be to have Australian Dictionary of Biography ID (P1907) as it is now and qualifying it with some property (neither stated in (P248) nor statement is subject of (P805) are particulary appealing to me) "wikidata-description-for-the-object" referencing the hypothetical Wikidata item I outlined above. In the discussion I have denounced that approach as being a zig-zag one (linking to the unspecific and qualifying with the specific where one could directly link to the specific and supply or infer the context) but we have to admit that much of the importance of the dedicated items for biographic dictionary articles does not come from the article itself but rather from the fact that it "belongs" to a highly esteemed reference work. Thus the property and it's usage must reflect that we are not interesting in giving the relation to any odd article but want to state that "the" ADB (the one of our choice ;-) has something to say about our item. -- Gymel (talk) 20:11, 15 June 2015 (UTC)

Any chance that described by source (P1343): Deutsche Biographie (Q1202222) with a qualifier like "include" ADB article could help? Otherwise we need at least three properties: ADB, NDB, and DB. All three have the same id, only the formatter URL (P1630) is different. --Kolja21 (talk) 21:25, 15 June 2015 (UTC)

It seems pointless to link ADB elsewhere than at Wikisource. --- Jura 21:31, 15 June 2015 (UTC)

Why link to a transcript at WS if we have a reliable source? And how does a link to WS helps with NDB and DB? --Kolja21 (talk) 21:59, 15 June 2015 (UTC)

I don't think we'll need full FRBRization for dictionary articles. For e.g. DNB00 (the 1900 edition of the DNB, mirrored on Wikisource) plus DNB12 (the 1912 additions, also on Wikisource) and ODNB (2004- current, access restricted) I know there is a huge overlap but I don't know whether the 1900 articles are part of the 2004ff edition. However for ADB/NDB we know for certain that there is an overlap and that overlap means there are two independent articles in ADB and NDB. We certainly can utilize the Wikidata item providing the sitelink to an ADB article on Wikisource to include bibliographic reference data for the ADB print edition and the official ADB online link, but equally certain this item cannot additionally carry data pertaining to the NDB article. My objections against the proposed "DB" property are based on the ground that we'll have to identify ADB and NDB articles anyway and "DB" currently is just a bag containing exactly ADB and NDB. We may go without dedicated ADB and NDB properties (perhaps following the lines of described by source (P1343)) and we may decide to use the "DB" type link (i.e. the one which leaves the choice to the user wether he wants to read the ADB or parallel NDB article) to provide a reading access URL from items representing the dictionary articles or as qualifier for claims in the subject articles. But for me there is a clear distinction, ADB and NDB being the sources, and "DB" just a way to access the official online versions of these. -- Gymel (talk) 06:56, 16 June 2015 (UTC)

Deutsche Biographie with 268.000 persons is a pretty big bag for the 26.500 articles published by ADB ;) But with three volumes of NDB still to come (vol. 1-25: 21.800 artcles) it might take a few years before the Historical Commission has more resources for this project. Anyway Wikidata is collecting all information, so I still don't see any reason why we should ignore this promising project, even if it has (today) a low priority for the German Wikipedia. The Deutsche Biographie is build on a tradition that began in 1875. It is state funded and it will not pass into irrelevance like Open Library or Zeno.org we wasted so much time with. --Kolja21 (talk) 18:04, 16 June 2015 (UTC)

The number of 268.000 is from a press release: What they have been publishing for years is the ADB/NDB combined index consisting of currently 132.000 entries (unlike the ODNB index they provide data also for those persons which are only mentionend in other people's biographies, usually in-laws and distant relatives in the first paragraph of NDB articles). My interpretation of the 268.000 goes like thus: On behalf of their "partners", especially those in the current DFG funded project, they have processed 136.000 additional GND records, i.e. identified them with the partner's resources, improved existing GND records based on the partners data or created completely new ones. Some of them can be retrieved with the query interface of deutsche-biographie.de (I did so for the profession "Höhlenforscher"), they are marked with "Index" or with "Index" and "Partner": What is shown there is data extracted from the GND record plus links to additional web resources based on the GND number, some of these datasets belong to "partners", some not. This is "high quality" of course but I always would prefer to have dedicated wikidata properties for the individual datasets of the "partners" like Bundesarchiv or Portraitindex, deutsche-biographie.de itself is indeed just a grab bag. It might be (as it's certainly the case for their own content ADB and NDB) that accessing deutsche-biographie.de is the closest as one can get to a specific resource. But even then I'd prefer to have a specific property with a formatter URL (P1630) using deutsche-biographie.de rather than having a DB property and never knowing what will expect me there... -- Gymel (talk) 23:10, 16 June 2015 (UTC)

Mister President (Q3050361), 17th ed.: Buenos Aires 1972 <000227207>

--Kolja21 (talk) 14:16, 13 May 2015 (UTC)

@Kolja21: I think it could actually work, why not just point to the earliest edition, or rather add a qualifier to state the ID is of the 1st edition, another for the second, and so on. Newspapers, pictures, movies, recordings, are often (but not always) added only once into the catalog. --Diego Grez (talk) 18:18, 13 May 2015 (UTC)

Support @Diego Grez: Wikidata:WikiProject Books distinguishes between works and editions. I'm not against this property, but if you want to use for example the id 000227207 you have first to create an item for the 17th ed. I've created BN (Argentine) editions (P1143) on Feb. 6th and until now it is used only by El Señor Presidente (critical edition) (Q15220486) and four more items. If there is no demand for libraries from Latin America (it's up to the Spanish-language Wikipedia) you can always use: catalog (P972) with the qualifier catalog code (P528). --Kolja21 (talk) 19:11, 13 May 2015 (UTC)

@Diego: Sounds good! --Kolja21 (talk) 22:30, 13 May 2015 (UTC)

Weak oppose So firstly this proposal should quickly be renamed into "edition identifier" since the BNC does not collocate works at all.

And secondly User:Diego Grez intends to use it only for serials. Any other user will either not work with that property at all or use it presumably completely wrong. For me this does not sound particulary "good". I mean, if we had items which (plus page numbers etc.) do serve as reference for claims, then these items indeed are "editions" and could benefit from links into national library catalogues. But usually we do not have these kind of items but rather (seldom enough) items for the works which are in connections to their authors. There are databases on the web concerned with works, but these are usually not library catalogues with their "bibliographic" notices. -- Gymel (talk) 13:25, 15 May 2015 (UTC)

+1. I've changed work identifier to catalogue number (in English). --Kolja21 (talk) 14:53, 15 May 2015 (UTC)

You are right. Given that the library catalogue only includes a record for each newspaper, magazine, photo, and movies recorded, perhaps we could restrict the use of this property to all but books, which could be split into a separate property identifier, for use in books which have different editions, and have a Wikidata item for each or some. Or simply I am misunderstanding or mixing up stuff hehe --Diego Grez (talk) 23:58, 15 May 2015 (UTC)

For English serials, we would refer to "volume" and "issue" (or sometimes "volume" and "number") rather than "edition" which reflects an editorially revised version of the same text, often with expanded content. Edition shows up for old newspapers, as Morning, Afternoon, Late, or Online. It may also show up for a set of local variations with much shared content. I expect that using "edition" for journals will be counterproductive. LeadSongDog (talk) 16:59, 22 May 2015 (UTC)

Encyclopaedia Metallum (a.k.a. the Metal Archives) is a large database for metal music groups and projects (over 100,000 entities, many of them are on Wikipedia), containing basic information on these entities. Entities have their permanent IDs. I think it would be useful as an authority control property. Nonexyst (talk) 08:46, 8 June 2015 (UTC)

Trismegistos ID

Domain	geographic location (Q2221906) (place)
Allowed values	all existing trismegistos identifiers for places
Robot and gadget jobs	will be matched with Mix'n'match as Pleiades IDs
Proposed by	--Pietromarialiuzzo (talk) 08:41, 16 June 2015 (UTC)

Motivation

As there is a property to give a Pleiades identifier (P1584) to ancient places there might be also a Trismegistos one. The two gazeteers of ancient places overlap but have different data and both ids would be a good authority control compared to just one. Pietromarialiuzzo (talk) 08:41, 16 June 2015 (UTC)

Encyclopaedia Metallum band ID (P1952) was added for bands, but that doesn't cover members of bands, because bands and artists have separate ID spaces on metal-archives.com, e.g. http://www.metal-archives.com/bands/-/2073 and http://www.metal-archives.com/artists/-/2073 refer to different things.
