Re: [Wiki Loves Monuments] unique identifier for the monument

[Olushola Olaniyan]

In Nigeria, majority of the museums are not computerised. Hence, they do not have a unique identifier for the monument.  What can we do in this case?

Vira. It is my first time in WLM Brazil and I hope that me and my volunteer colleagues can find a good solution. As you said, maybe it is going to be easier to follow the lists with the highest rank. And about the Wikidata, I hope we can have time to work on there too. If it happens, we will be glad to share the experience here.

Just as in Brazil, our monuments appear in lists of different levels with different IDs. Moreover, official IDs are not unique through the state and may repeat in different regions. We created our own system of giving IDs to monuments. We would like to save them because the system we cteated is very convenient. But, being original research, these IDs prevent us from transferring all the lists to Wikidata.  If you have official IDs, use them (I guess). If there are several of the them for the same monument, it may be reasonable to take the ID from the list with the highest rank. If you can advise us what to do with on-wiki-created IDs concerning Wikidata, I will be happy :) ​I don't speak on behalf of WLM UA orgs, just on my own.​ ​Best​ -- Vira Motorko m: +380667740499 | f: vira.motorko | w: Ата Are you saving your documents in free formats? ;) Help save natural resources – please think twice before printing this e-mail or any attachments. _______________________________________________ Wiki Loves Monuments mailing list WikiLovesMonuments@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikilovesmonuments http://www.wikilovesmonuments.org -- Juliana Monteiro Museóloga Analista de Preservação -- Museu da Imigração de São Paulo Profa. curso técnico de Museologia -- ETEC Parque da Juventude Museologist Senior Preservation Analyst -- Immigration Museum of State of São Paulo Teacher at Certification Course of Museology -- ETEC Parque da Juventude
