Commons talk:Structured data/Modeling/Maps
Proposal for Wikidata and Commons model edit
In Wikidata, we distinguish between a creative work, its various published or manuscript editions, and individual map pages in collections. This follows a modified version of the Functional Requirements for Bibliographic Records (FRBR) model used for bibliographic items.
Works edit
The creative work in the abstract.
- In Wikidata: cartographic work (Q25106976), literary work (Q7725634)
- In Commons: Category for the entire work, if we have multiple images
Editions edit
We should create an "edition" item for each published version, custom assemblage of maps, or manuscript copy of a work for which we have images.
- In Wikidata: map edition (Q56753859), manuscript (Q87167)
- In Commons: Subcategory for each edition for which we have more than one or two images
Individual maps edit
Manuscript maps in notable collections should have their own Wikidata items. Printed maps in notable collections may have individual items.
- In Wikidata: manuscript map (Q2353983) (hand-drawn map), individual copy of a map (Q63872468) (printed map)
- In Commons: Images, grouped into a subcategory of the edition if we have multiple images of the same exact map.
Comments on this approach? It's very rough still. - PKM (talk) 03:42, 4 June 2021 (UTC)
- I agree on everything so far. I support adding this as a best practice already. Susanna Ånäs (Susannaanas) (talk) 09:43, 4 June 2021 (UTC)
Insight edit
I'm a graphic worker how creates maps, illustration in quite a wide rang, see Gallery Goran_tek.en
I have started to actively fill out and correct Structured data on my pieces. It's quite hard to grasp this but I think I'm starting to understand a very small portion of it.
What I haven't found yet is how to add SD for that type of work I do (and many other graphic workers), mostly as requests from Graphic lab at commons and wikipedia. Also when I read here in the proposal I can't really find anything for that type of work.
So my question is, do you think I could be of any help here in sections for maps, illustrations etc?
I don't have all the knowledge regarding SD yet (willing to learn more), but I have experience from the other part. --always ping me-- Goran tek-en (talk) 15:50, 21 July 2021 (UTC)
Request for Comments: adding description metadata to map images edit
Hi:
Could you please check this proposal?
Thanks in advance. —Ismael Olea (talk) 13:37, 24 December 2021 (UTC)
Best practice for maps without Wikidata item edit
Hi:
I wrote a full schema proposal the case of maps without WD elements. I would have added to this article but I used the {{List of properties}} template which is not ported to Commons. You can check the proposal at this informal location. —Ismael Olea (talk) 10:19, 28 January 2022 (UTC)
- Any comment about this? I can translate into English if there is some interest. —Ismael Olea (talk) 14:28, 20 December 2022 (UTC)
