Hi Thad,

On https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:WikiProject_Protected_areas/Propertie... (it was designed only for France in the beggining, feel free to add comments) EdouardHue suggested https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Property:P457

Cdlt, ~nicolas

I think parks are like monuments, so you can also use jurisdiction with the law as reference with start date

Thanks all... Looks like foundational text is most appropriate (besides the reference URL for the inception date that I just added) https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Property:P457

Hence my suggestion of using the property for jurisdiction

Hoi, It is not a law that created an item. That is imho a fallacy; it is always one or another government body. Thanks, GerardM

...

Which property is best used to hold a URL link to a law that created an item ?

Example: https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q30061575 Lewis and Clark National Historical Park was created by H.R. 3819 https://www.congress.gov/bill/108th-congress/house-bill/3819

Thanks in advance experts, -Thad +ThadGuidry https://www.google.com/+ThadGuidry

Jane,

"foundational text" works fine for my use case and was a perfect match for the semantics I was trying to capture.

"applies to territorial jurisdiction" is useful but not for my use. That property concept is a more specific way to say "involves".

X involves Y

NAFTA trade agreement INVOLVES North America NAFTA trade agreement INVOLVES Canada, Mexico, USA

I notice that Wikidata authors and editors create many specific properties, but there very few generic properties, but probably for a good reason.....to avoid confusion. Regarding that... let me compose a new email forthcoming asking a question about that.

Hi,

Isn't it: the government body write the law that establish the park/area? (at least for France, it seems about right).

@Jane: by jurisdiction do you mean https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Property:P1001? Do you have an example, I don't really see how it make sense (again France is maybe particular as it almost always will be 'P1001:Q142').
