Hi Fae and Jane,
Thank you both for your quick reply! I can imagine how it all started with
paintings and from a paintings/works-of-art-on-paper perspective the 2D
approach is excellent. But with cups and statues... and museums with very heavy
paintings.. You get weird results.
I will try and use a free format and hope maybe someone will consider a more
extensive format for dimensions?
Something like: {{Size|witdh=76.7|unit=cm|height=83.5|unit=cm}} instead of:
{{Size|unit=cm|width=76.7|height=83.5}}?
In the Rijksmuseum case we are not dependant on vendors etc. so we can write
XSLT to match the format Wikimedia prefers.
Thanks for your help and tips and I hope you don't mind my questions!
Best wishes
Lizzy

Hey, I uploaded that. :-)
My approach to these initial Rijks uploads was to just get on with it and worry
about format fixes later. Our templates do not handle arrays in a parameter,
but that is effectively what we are attempting to do with dimensions against
artworks. Though paintings have height and width, I have handled other objects
such as statues or ancient artefacts, where there may be many key dimensions to
describe, such as the diameter of a cup along with the width of its base.
I suggest using the free format of the parameter to add dimensions in a
consistent way. It can always be unpicked and reformatted later.
If wikidata can resolve this, some interesting questions could be asked later
on, such as automatically identifying miniatures, or life size statues of
people.
Fae
