external-ids can be mapped to URIs using a URI pattern defined on the respective property. Similarly, external-ids can be mapped to URLs for linking. URL and URI would often, but not always, be the same. If a property commonly contains URIs, I would suggest to use the url datatype instead of the new external-id datatype. Technically, this is incorrect since not all URIs are URLs, but I think in practice that should not pose a problem. -- Daniel Kinzler Senior Software Developer Wikimedia Deutschland Gesellschaft zur Förderung Freien Wissens e.V. _______________________________________________ Wikidata mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikidata
