Commons:Wiki Loves Monuments/Structured data

This page describes how files uploaded as part of Wiki Loves Monuments use structured data. Robots are currently extracting as much data as possible from the wikitext and adding it as structured data. For more information on creating monument lists from Wikidata entries, see this page.

This table gives an overview of the relevant structured data being added.

It an be a general location like Haarlem (Q9920) or specific Kerkstraat (Q17286558).

These are the preferred coordinates.

Coordinates of the photographed object {{Object location}} coordinate location (P625) The coordinates of the photographed objects are usually the coordinates of one of the Wikidata items added in depicts (P180) so these are usually derived coordinates. We prefer coordinates of the point of view (P1259), but these are useful too.
