Bug #: 38678
Summary: Spec external ID links for Items
Product: MediaWiki extensions
Version: master
Platform: All
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: Unprioritized
Component: WikidataRepo
AssignedTo: [email protected]

Classification: Unclassified
Mobile Platform: ---
Items should support same-as (or kindof-pretty-much-the-same-as) relations to
external IDs. Examples:
* for publications: ISBN, DOI
* for people: PND, OCLC
* for proteins: UnitProt
These could work a lot like site links (a list of domains-ID-pairs), but would
have an important semantic difference:
* sitelinks say "that page is about the same thing this item description is
about"
* external IDs say "this is another ID for the thing this description is about)
External IDs often but not necessarily have a URL associated with them that can
be used to get more information about the item from some other source.
Ideally, there would be the same uniqueness-constraint on external IDs that we
have for wikipedia links: only one item can have a given external ID, and each
item can only have one ID from a given domain (realm). But this may be to
restrictive to be practical, because granularity varies a lot between different
identification systems.
