Thanks for the pointer. I'm a little confused by quite what's being aimed for with the datatype here. Are they planning to use it to represent Wikipedia articles (which are almost all on a work level, sometimes on an item level - eg manuscripts, but very rarely an edition level), or to represent "sources" in citations (usually a specific edition rather than a work or an item)? -- - Andrew Gray [email protected] _______________________________________________ Libraries mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/libraries
