Hello,
I wanted to get an overview of all the properties used boy the instance
Painting (
) for further mapping
with the Europeana Data Model.
My initial thought that I would find a representative list at
but in fact I have found much more properties used in association with
painting. So I was wondering whether it would be a good idea to update the
template mentioned above with the additional properties.
I think it would be really interesting for GLAMs to have access to to
representative templates listing all the properties used for a given type
of objects. It would help them to understand Wikidata and to compare it
with their own data. I think it would also help mappings activities. I on
behalf of Europeana would be happy to help in this task and also facilitate
the discussions with GLAMs around Wikidata.
What do you think?
Best wishes,
Valentine

Hi!
For things that actually *are* free text, and not
terribly long, a
monolongual
(or, in the future, multilingual) text property
could be used. "quote"
already
exists, "abstract" could be added,
pending community discussion. Length
limitations can be adjusted if need be.
Maybe if the need of bigger texts arises we can have separate field
type? Right now the storage model is not very good for storing texts of
non-negligible sizes, especially multilingual ones (x800 languages).
OTOH, we have a type that allows us to use multimedia by integrating
with Commons. So maybe the same idea with using some other wiki -
quotes? sources? for bigger text snippets would work too? Just
brainstorming here :)
What I was warning against is continuing the
misuse of text fields for
semi-structured or even fully structured data that I have often seen in
GLAM
meta-data. That kind of thing should not be
copied to Wikidata.
Right. I think it may be useful here to understand which kinds of text
we're talking about which can't be structured but are big enough to
cause concern. I.e. if it's quotes - we already have wikiquote, right?
Etc.
