Motivation

Strangely enough, while we have properties legislative body (P194) and office held by head of government (P1313), we have no way to link from a country or state to its administrative body. Srittau (talk) 00:21, 19 January 2016 (UTC)

Discussion

•  Comment the English label just says "administration" and the sample item is titled "Cabinet of Germany". Scope is mentioned as country/administrative unit (of subnational entities, I guess) or organizations. Not sure how that matches the proposed German label "Regierung". To match legislative body (P194), maybe "executive body" or "governing body" could work (sample). List at Freebase: governmental_jurisdiction/government, for organizations there is just "board members" and committees.

  • Changed to "governing body" as that seems to be the better term. --Srittau (talk) 00:40, 29 March 2016 (UTC)
• We already have executive body (P208) for the cabinets of countries. But we still need a property for the governing bodies of corporations, universities, inter-governmental organizations, and similar bodies. --Arctic.gnome (talk) 18:54, 11 February 2016 (UTC)
•  Support. I need a way to say that University of Texas System (Q2140391) is governed by University of Texas System Board of Regents (Q22683904). It's the inverse of University of Texas System Board of Regents (Q22683904) applies to jurisdiction (P1001) University of Texas System (Q2140391). Runner1928 (talk) 19:23, 11 February 2016 (UTC)

"We have executive body (P208) for the cabinets of countries" - Yes, see "P208:Cabinet of Israel" in the item about Israel. But do we have a property for the specific cabinet, in this case "Netanyahou III"? We also have to sort out how we should handle cases when two (or more) persons are cooperating in the leadership. Andorra and San Marino has two princes/capitani reggenti and Swedish municipalities can have several "kommunalråd". We have somewhere agreed to use an item for the group of "kommunalråd" but we have not sorted out how that should be implemented or how it affects for example these two European nations and other nations that has had two or more cooperating chief of states. (Competing chiefs is another question.) The Roman Empire, Russia, ancient Egypt, the biblical Israel and several other nations have at least temporary had cooperating kings. Ok, I went a little out of topic here, but the questions are related. We also have political parties with more than one leader. How the office of the prime minister will look like if such parties ever get the center seat in a government is an interesting question. -- Innocent bystander (talk) 08:55, 4 June 2016 (UTC)

 Withdrawn, executive body (P208) is what I was looking for. --Srittau (talk) 23:47, 11 June 2016 (UTC)
