At BEIC, to test the Wikidata ontology and the feasibility of
collaborations on music data, I was assigned a seemingly simple test:
add in Wikidata all the data contained in
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brown_Sugar_(The_Rolling_Stones_song) .
Turns out things are not so simple:
* the Wikipedia articles, from an FRBR
(
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FRBR ) perspective, often mix multiple
levels or even all of them (song, recording, album, single, edition of
the single) which on Wikidata need to be separate items, but the split
is not obvious:
https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Special:WhatLinksHere/Q21887964 ;
* I was unable to properly add information on per-country hit list position.
Please give a look to the items I linked, to my
https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:WikiProject_Music updates and to
the open questions I added in
https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata_talk:WikiProject_Music .
In particular, I think librarians will be interested in this proposal
for a "performance of" property, which (like the existing "edition of"
property) could benefit from being framed in a FRBR perspective by
someone more versed in FRBR.
