Help:Тип данных

This page is a translated version of the page Help:Data type and the translation is 15% complete.

This is an information page.

It is not one of Wikidata's policies or guidelines, but rather intends to describe some aspect(s) of Wikidata's norms, customs, technicalities, or practices. It may reflect varying levels of consensus and vetting.

Типы данных определяют то, как утверждения себя ведут и какого рода данные они принимают. Различные типы утверждений используют различные типы свойств, а также в них используются различные типы данных. При создании свойства в том числе надо выбрать тип данных, и он, будучи однажды установленным, будет навсегда закреплён для данного свойства. Это имеет значение для того, как оно может использоваться, и требуется уделить некоторое внимание планированию, чтобы создаваемое свойство было полезным.

Работа над свойствами координируется на Wikidata:Property proposal.

Datatypes to link entities

Wikidata has 5 types of entities (Item, Property, Lexeme, Sense and Form). For each entity type there exists a same-named data type that can be used to link entities of that type.

Item: Link to an item. (list of properties)
Property: Link to a property. (list of properties)

The following data types are primarily meant for statements on Lexemes, which make up the lexicographical data of Wikidata.

Lexeme: Link to a lexeme. (list of properties)
Form: For statements on lexemes that reference forms on other lexemes in order to indicate their relation. (list of properties)
Sense: For statements on lexemes that reference senses on other lexemes. (list of properties)

String-based data types

String

type: string (String)

list of properties: Category:Properties with string-datatype -- Special:ListProperties/string

Chain of characters, numbers and symbols that don't need to be translated into different languages or number formats. A string is not used for calculations.

Examples:

B123
90928390-XLE
u29238

Maximum length is 1,500 characters on Wikidata, as defined with wmgWikibaseStringLimits in InitialiseSettings.php.

Monolingual text

type: monolingualtext (Monolingual text)

list of properties: Category:Properties with monolingualtext-datatype -- Special:ListProperties/monolingualtext

A string that is not translated into other languages. This type of string is defined once and reused in all languages. Typical use is a geographically localized entity name written in the local language, an identifier of some kind, a chemical formula or a Latin scientific name. See Help:Monolingual text languages for information about the language codes available for monolingual text values and how to request support for additional language codes. (Note that monolingual text also implies a single script system, which can make the string somewhat problematic.)

Maximum length is 1,500 characters on Wikidata, as defined with wmgWikibaseStringLimits in InitialiseSettings.php.

External identifier

type: external-id (External identifier)

list of properties: Category:Properties with external-id-datatype -- Special:ListProperties/external-id

String that represents an identifier used in an external system. Will display as external link if a formatter URL (P1630) is defined. See: External identifiers.

Maximum length is 1,500 characters on Wikidata, as defined with wmgWikibaseStringLimits in InitialiseSettings.php.

URL

type: url (URL)

list of properties: Category:Properties with url-datatype -- Special:ListProperties/url

A generalized "URL" that identifies some kind of external resource, perhaps a link to an external site of some kind, or an identifier used for lookup in some kind of specialized resource.

Maximum length is 1,500 characters on Wikidata, as defined with wmgWikibaseStringLimits in InitialiseSettings.php.

Data types to reference files on Commons

Commons media

type: commonsMedia (Commons media file)

list of properties: Category:Properties with commonsMedia-datatype -- Special:ListProperties/commonsMedia

Ссылается на файл на Викискладе. При вводе будет производиться поиск подходящего файла в пространстве имён "File" Викисклада. Эти файлы могут и иллюстрировать концепцию на Викиданных, и быть конкретным значением свойства для включения в Википедию. (Заметьте, сейчас этот файл на ВД не отображается, только даётся ссылка).

Examples:

Wikidata-logo.svg

Geographic shape

type: geo-shape (Geographic shape)

list of properties: Category:Properties with geo-shape-datatype -- Special:ListProperties/geo-shape

Reference to map data file on Wikimedia Commons. During entry in the textfield the "Data" namespace on Wikimedia Commons will be searched for matching entries.

Tabular data

type: tabular-data (Tabular data)

list of properties: Category:Properties with tabular-data-datatype -- Special:ListProperties/tabular-data

Reference to tabular data file on Wikimedia Commons. During entry in the textfield the "Data" namespace on Commons will be searched for matching entries.

Data types for specific notations

Mathematical expression

type: math (Mathematical expression)

list of properties: Category:Properties with math-datatype -- Special:ListProperties/math

Formatted string that displays as formula.

Example:

\sqrt{1-e^2} produces:

{\sqrt {1-e^{2}}}

See w:Help:Displaying a formula for applicable format.

Current limitation: input text can't be queried on Query Service.

Musical Notation

type: musical-notation (Musical Notation)

list of properties: Category:Properties with musical-notation-datatype -- Special:ListProperties/musical-notation

Generated image in .png format that displays a musical score. Values for that data type are strings describing music following LilyPond syntax.

Example:

Value string \relative c' { c d e f | g2 g | a4 a a a | g1 |}, produces

Quantity

type: quantity (Quantity)

list of properties: Category:Properties with quantity-datatype -- Special:ListProperties/quantity

A Quantity value represents a decimal number, together with information about the uncertainty interval of this number, and a unit of measurement. The attributes are:

amount: the quantity's main value
lowerBound: the quantity's lower bound (optional)
upperBound: the quantity's upper bound (optional)
unit: unit of measure item (empty for dimensionless values)

Internally, amount, lower bound and upper bound are strings; positive numbers are stored with a plus sign, though this will not be displayed. The representation of a quantity may not be longer than 127 characters; therefore, the maximal value of a quantity is 10^126-1.

Unit conversion is implemented based on conversion to SI unit (P2370). Most units with that property are normalized in the RDF export for the query service (October 2019).

The normalisation table is readable as a JSON file in the WMF Mediawiki repository.

Examples:

762 (dimensionless)
2500 km (upper and lower bounds are not set, with unit)
1.03 ± 0.02 g (enter as nominal value +/- tolerance, representing a lower and upper bound, with unit). The tolerance is in some cases not shown at Wikipedia, only the nominal value, for example in Wikidata lists produced by the listeria bot.

Time

type: time (Point in time)

list of properties: Category:Properties with time-datatype -- Special:ListProperties/time

This data type stores a date in Gregorian or Julian calendar. See detailed structure.

Examples:

2012
1780-05 (=май 1780)
1833-11-01 (=1 ноября 1833)

See Help:Dates for more.

Globe coordinate

type: globe-coordinate (Geographic coordinates)

list of properties: Category:Properties with globe-coordinate-datatype -- Special:ListProperties/globe-coordinate

A geographical position given as a latitude-longitude pair (in gms or decimal degrees) for a given "globe" (any stellar body). Globe defaults to "Earth" (globe: http://www.wikidata.org/entity/Q2). A "precision" parameter describes the resolution of the source of the coordinate. Note that the coordinate system is assumed to be "WGS84" (World Geodetic System 1984 (Q11902211)), which may not be suitable for less Earth-like bodies, and this is not configurable.

Tracked in Phabricator
Task T56097

Currently, the Web UI of Wikidata doesn't expose all parameters of this data type. The value is visualized only as the coordinate, plus an embedded map if the globe is Earth (Q2). The precision can be modified in the edit mode. The globe is not visible, nor editable, in the item view. The full configuration is however visible in the history diff view (example).

Tracked in Phabricator
Task T250627

When using the Web UI, the value saved will be an exact multiple of the precision chosen.

It is possible to edit the data in full via API. The CLI tool is one way to access the API. In this example Olympus Mons (Q520) is given a coordinate on Mars (Q111) using the globe parameter (used in coordinate location (P625)):

wd ac Q520 P625 '{ "latitude": 18.4, "longitude": 226, "precision": 0.016666666666667, "globe": "http://www.wikidata.org/entity/Q111" }'

The globe.js script adds a UI to set the globe parameter of coordinate location (P625).

Bots such as LocatorBot may detect when the globe parameter of coordinate location (P625) is not set according to located on astronomical body (P376). Adding located on astronomical body (P376) and waiting for a bot to update the coordinate globe is an accepted workaround.

Technical details

In the Wikibase JSON format each value is represented by "datatype": <datatype>, "datavalue": {"type": <type>, "value": ...}, where the representation of the value depends on the type.

In the RDF format data types are represented by the RDF name in the following table prefixed with http://wikiba.se/ontology# (or the wikibase: prefix in case of the RDF dumps). Note that this prefix is also available in the Wikidata query service, so for example ?prop wikibase:propertyType wikibase:String will return all properties of data type String.

Изменение типа данных

A property in "string" datatype may be converted to "external identifier" datatype by a system administrator. To propose such a change, you may start a discussion at the talk page of the property or Project chat. After a consensus, a request may be made in Contact the development team. You should read previous discussion if you want to convert a property created before 2016.

Other changes of data type requires creating a new property and deleting the old one. You should use Properties for deletion for such requests.
