Dear all,

Thank you all for your answers. I will have a look to the different
projects you have mentioned in your emails.
In the meantime I have spent a bit more time exploring Wikidata for
paintings as one of our project currently focuses on Art and comparing it
with the Europeana Data Model in terms of properties. I have noticed the
absence of some properties and I would be curious whether it is just an
overlook or whether there is a real intention behind the omission:

-Cultural Heritage data have most of the time a description property where
you will find lot of relevant free text information. The structured
property but inside you will find mostly free- text. I couldn't find a
similar property in Wikidata but there is something similar in Dbpedia. Is
it something you are planning to introduce or have you made the decision to
exclude any free-text infromation from Wikidata for now.

-While I was looking for painting in Wikidata I also noticed the absence of
information related to the size/dimension of the Artwork. The information
is most of the time present in Cultural Heritage data. Is it something
Wikidata is interested in or has it been omitted intentionally?

-Then the last question is about values in different languages for a given
property. How do you indicate the language in Wikidata? Are you using a
xml:lang attribute or something similar?

Thank you very much for your help

Best,

Valentine
