Hoi,

There is only one ID that truly identifies an object uniquely and, that is the ID of the collection involved. It is an happy occasion when they all match but they will not always match. Storing IDs is not a big problem, in the end we will find that having them leads to harmonisation. Consequently there is no real argument as far as I understand them why we cannot have them all. It has one distinct advantage, we can more easily compare our data with `theirs`. 

When we show a given set in a given country, we make an arbitrary distinction. When we make it a preference, it is more complicated but more useful-

Thanks,

As I hinted on project chat: if we create a property for MoMA IDs, we really have to be consistent and create property for all art collections that use persistent IDs and of which we have items on Wikidata.

I think we (will) have hundreds of these.

Are we OK with that - having hundreds of museum and art collection-specific properties?

Best, Sandra
