James,
That's great news, as it will satisfy some concerns on the Library's end about switching from our current URLs to stable URIs in the future. And Magnus (I know you're out there!), I'll reach out tomorrow to see how we may most conveniently progress. Thanks all,

Magnus's QuickStatements tool

can write about 5000 statements an hour at full tilt, so could add those 11,000 identifier values pretty quickly.

It looks like there's no problem slotting the PIC id into the relevant address to make a URL that works -- it would be no problem to specify this as the URL format for the property.  And if/when a shorter form of URL were to become available it would be no problem to change to this, just by changing the URL formatter for the property.

Actually, Nemo, I haven't yet added them to mix-n-match (though we've
discussed previously). I turned all my focus back to preparing the site for
launch, thinking it better to engage WD once the site was actually live. I
did just submit a proposal for a external ID property. I'll look at
mix-n-match again tomorrow. Thanks, all!

Also, I should have pointed out that I have 11,000 Wikidata

entities matched in PIC already. Is there a quick & easy way to get
those in?


IIRC you said you already added those matches to mix-n-match. When the
property exists, Magnus is usually very fast at importing the associations
into Wikidata with his bot. :)
