2015-07-28 Thread billinghurst
Nahum,

I suppose the predominant part of my discussion was focusing on published
translations, rather than WS-generated translations.

1) because many famous works  have  (famous) published translations, each
with their own translator(s), date of publication, publisher, ... all
worthy of noting and WD'ing.

2) you can only link to one work per wiki at WD, and as an example of an
issue , I know of numbers of Chekov's works that enWS hosts where we have
multiple published translations. So enWS needs a means for link generation
for many to one (at ruWS), or for English language works, we may need a one
to any.

When it comes to WS-generated translations, I can see that we may or may
not wish to call those translations their own edition.  If a translation
passes a notability check of its own edition,  then separate, if not, maybe
then it comes off the other original language work. (Maybe leave that
decision with the xxWS to determine???).

What I am hoping to see is a tool that provides the maximum flexibity and
credibility for the WSes,  yet gives best visibility and  authority at WD.

 Wikidata discourages interwiki links

 Looking at Zhuangzi (Q1074987) https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q1074987
 *Zhuanhgzi*, I see that this data item is only for the work as it exists
 in Chinese. The work as translated into English is a separate data item,
 and the French Wikisource translation is another data item.

 Effectively, this means that Wikidata discourages interwiki links to and
 between Wikisource projects, because they will never be part of the same
 data item. Further, anyone seeking a translation of a work into another
 language must first come to Wikidata and surf the links even to find out if
 translations of a work in another language exist on Wikisource; it is not
 possible to do that from any Wikisource directly.

 I thought the whole point of moving the links to Wikidata was to promote
 connections between projects, not to eliminate them. But perhaps I am
 wrong. --EncycloPetey https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/User:EncycloPetey (

I agree with Billinghurst that user-made translations do not necessarily have 
to be dealt with the same way published editions/translations are. However, if 
the user-made translation is connected to the same WD item as the original work 
(edition, actually), then we should indicate which of the Wikisource links 
really leads to the text the statements refer to (i.e., the original work). 
This can easily be done with property 953, full text available at.

Re: [Wikisource-l] more to edition(s) - edition or translation of

2015-07-28 Thread Alex Brollo
Splitting every book into two different items, *work* and *edition*, and
using nsWork into wikisource projects to point the* work*, the issue is
politely solved: any Work page into any wikisource could be interlinked by
wikidata, since all point to the same abstract work wikidata item.

On the contrary, *edition* pages can be interlinked by wikidata only when
they are related to the same edition wikidata item, as happens i.e. in
multilingual books, sharing the *same djvu file* into different projects.

It's more complex than that.

Yes, you should make two entries on Wikidata (because there different data
for this two works).

But meanwhile, you can make a link between the two works on the Wikisources.
