Re: [Wikidata] Quick Statements Tool: How to add publication date of sources
Hi Jane, The source is a database; according to present guidelines (https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Help:Sources), databases should be referenced as follows: - “stated in (P248)” pointing to the WD item of the database, with the following qualifiers: o Database property ID o Title of the dataset in the database o Publication date (P577) In my concrete case, the database property ID corresponds to the GLAM-ID declared directly in the Wikidata-item, so I wasn’t going to repeat it for the reference. As the database contains several releases of only one dataset, I was just going to use the publication date of a given release to further specify the source. Now, upon reflection, I might just create a different WD item for each new release of the dataset as a workaround to the present limitations of the Quick Statements Tool. In the longer run, we probably still should have a tool to batch ingest data that covers all the cases stipulated in the guidelines. Otherwise, we will see breaches of the guidelines due to avoidance practices triggered by the limitations of our tools.

Subject: Re: [Wikidata] Quick Statements Tool: How to add publication date of sources Why the fixation on the publication date alone? Why not author etc? If you first add the source as an item, then you can put the author and publication date etc in the source item. When adding it as a source in a reference statement, it has the publication date in there implicitly. You can probably also query that usage data based on the publication date or authorship somehow. The problem is that you need to make items for the sources you want to reference with a publication date.

Re: [Wikidata] Quick Statements Tool: How to add publication date of sources
Dear Magnus, What do you suggest we do in the meanwhile? - Wait with the data ingestion process until the overhaul has been done? - Do you have an idea when this could be the case? - Ingest the data, providing the source without its “publication date”? – Do you think it will be possible to add the “publication date” of the source at a later stage by re-running the tool when it has been improved? Or is it better to leave out the source altogether for the time being? Cheers, Beat From: Wikidata [mailto:wikidata-boun...@lists.wikimedia.org] On Behalf Of Magnus Manske Sent: Dienstag, 18.
