Hello I am looking for feedback to help evaluate and test a schema I have been working on for digital arts festivals and would really appreciate your help. This is at https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q126682939
It was created to document a record of early digital arts festivals in the UK where none previously existed - which is an area that I am currently researching - and is based on a simplified version of the existing film festival schema https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q220505
It aims to recognizes that festivals that were primarily about showing digital art, rather than including it as part of a wider cultural programme, didn't easily fit into the existing Wikidata categories for festivals – i.e film, visual art, music.
The term “digital arts festival” is used with the understanding that some events would not necessarily define themselves as a festival and/or might use the term new media art. To try and address this and ensure a wider spectrum of events could be accommodated, Items were also added for new media arts festival and digital arts event.
I’d really appreciate feedback on this approach – specifically how the schema might be improved/amended and whether the Labels reflect adequately reflect the item.
Suggestions for other places to gain feedback are also very welcome :)
Thank you so much
Janet
Hi Janet
Here are some further ideas of properties you may want to use: https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:WikiProject_Cultural_events/Data_stru...
Feel free to expand on the documentation.
Best regards,
