  Support - have you also considered using "ignition point = 100 °C" with a qualifier "ignitions conditions (item) = autoignition, flame point, ...". --Tobias1984 (talk) 18:29, 8 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Why not. But how many different ignition temperature do we have ? The most common temperature are flash point and autoignition temperature. There is still the ignition temperature but this is not widely used as characteristic criterion. So if we have only 2 properties we don't save anything by creating one general property and one qualifier. Snipre (talk) 12:07, 10 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
That is true. We might even need those qualifiers for measurement conditions or something. --Tobias1984 (talk) 08:45, 19 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

  Comment Is there really a standard value ? Concentration is not enough, particule size is important too. Snipre (talk) 23:09, 27 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Snipre, the standard for testing minimum explosive concentration is ASTM E1515. While not considered an "absolute" measurement, it is a way by which dust clouds of different substances can be compared on the basis of their explosiveness. James Hare (NIOSH) (talk) 13:49, 1 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I don't think LDLo, LD50, LD100, etc. should be merged together. --Leyo 14:45, 3 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  Support But I would prefer one property for each different concept because for toxicity we have already the species or the different conditions like the experiment duration for concentration as qualifier. as first target I propose to have one property for LD50, we can wait a little before creating two other properties for the LDLo and LD100 which are not used in the same extend as for LD50. Snipre (talk) 12:30, 29 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  Comment. I agree with Snipre: we should have different properties for all the different toxicity metric. I also think these properties should be taxon-specific, since qualifiers will not be queryable in the foreseeable future. So we should start with LD50 for humans. I'd recommend proposing these properties in a batch, so we're not waiting 3 months to get these properties created. Emw (talk) 05:45, 1 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Discussion
@Pigsonthewing: The Freebase link does not work for me at the moment, so I can't look at the exmaple. I think the proposal needs a more general discussion on how things like this should be handled. The measure is meaningless without knowing (1) how it was calculated and (2) what the calculated uncertainty is (3) if it is given as a fraction, percentage or in absolute values. For example en:Copernicium even has an asymmetric uncertainty: 357 (+112/−108)K given in the absolute measure and the mode of calculation should be mentioned in the source. I am not sure the number-datatype can handle this complexity. We need some kind of datatype that gives us a few fields for all these values. For example Uncertainty: (Field 1: +Uncertainty)[Number], (Field 2: -Uncertainty, Optional: only use when asymmetric)[Number], (Field 3: Relative, Absolute)[Item], (Field 4: Mode of Calculation)[Item]. --Tobias1984 (talk) 13:24, 18 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

This would be better as part of the data model for the quantity datatype so that there is no danger of one being edited independent of the other.

  Weak oppose I think we already discussed a similar property once, and I think the consensus was to use multiple values of subclass of (P279) for each element. An element can be part of a block and a period. Infoboxes can ask for all the subclass of (P279) values, and with arbitrary data access ask for which p279 leads to a block, and which p279 statement leads to a period. --Tobias1984 (talk) 13:29, 18 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@Pigsonthewing: see Help:Classification : blocks can be seen as classes of elements. For example we can write
⟨ Hydrogen ⟩ instance of (P31)   ⟨ s-block element ⟩
, with
⟨ s-block element ⟩ subclass of (P279)   ⟨ chemical element ⟩

  Comment we have a general mass property pending but I don't think we can use it because that would require too many qualifiers. I don't know how the number type will work and how it will work with physical units (do we set it to kg when creating it or can the unit be chosen by the person entering the data?). We should also look into if "u" can be added as a physical unit. For atoms we should probably use different isotopic values (for hydrogen the common value would be 1.007947). We probably should think about qualifiers for estimated isotopic ratios, reservoir in which the ratio was measured, etc... For items about isotopes we could think about creating a separate property because the value is much more straight forward (H1 = 1.00782504). If we use it for atoms, isotopes, particles and molecules it could apply to a lot more items. --Tobias1984 (talk) 15:21, 14 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

We already have Wikidata:Property_proposal/Pending#Mass. do we really need a new property ? Snipre (talk) 07:52, 18 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
That is precisely the reason why all votes and comments on non-existing datatypes are so irrelevant. We really don't know how they will work. If the property "mass" has kg hard-coded into it then we can't add values in "u" because there is a conversion factor as you know. I guess people could add the values in kg or maybe the user will be allowed to choose the physical unit. Again, all this is irrelevant as long as the datatype doesn't exist. And before any pending proposal is created we have to do a very thorough check. --Tobias1984 (talk) 09:07, 18 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Probably not applicable to any cargo carrying machinery. Payload is a specific term "carrying capacity of an aircraft or space ship, including cargo, munitions, scientific instruments or experiments. Extra fuel, when optionally carried, is also considered part of the payload." quote from Payload (air and space craft). There are weight systems for other types of transport, but the actual weights can vary between one vehicle and another (instances of), depending on other specifications such as the engine fitted. A truck which has a crane fitted can carry less due to the weight of the crane. Danrok (talk) 16:11, 22 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

In English at least they aren't typically expressed in this way - maximum gross weight is more typical for road vehicles, and for ships I'd expect it to be expressed as tonnage.

  • There should be a property for the mass/weight of the item, but we should not try to force everything that represents a mass to use that property. If something does not refer to the weight of the item itself (e.g. "maximum payload weight" above), it should be a different property. If something does refer to the weight of the item itself, I would prefer subproperties over repeatedly using a small set of qualifiers, but I think subproperties would need to be considered on a case by case basis. - Nikki (talk) 12:42, 14 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  Support Agreed. For instance, atomic mass is the mass of a single atom, not of the element itself, so it would be wrong to use a generic mass property on the item (which represents the element, not a single atom). —Galaktos (talk) 14:35, 14 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • No. We can't avoid different mass properties when different values is possible for the same item. But we don't need specific properties according to the field of items: the property for the mass of a car can be the same for the mass of a person. But the dead weight and the weight at full load of a boat or plane can't be described by an unique property. We should at least add qualifier. I think we should group the mass properties and see what is the minimal amount we can have.
If I take the above proposal, we can group:
  • atomic mass = mass of a person = Empty weight = mass -> one property
  • maximum payload weight -> one property
  • Theoretically Empty weight + Maximum payload weight is equal to Maximum takeoff weight, so no need of additional property, but I don't know the definition of maximum payload weight (include or not the fuel, the ammunition,...).
Snipre (talk) 14:06, 14 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Yes and No. I think we should have specific properties like empty weight, laden weight, etc. but I am opposed to weight of person because that is easily determined from the instance of claim. I think I this pretty well matches the other opinions above. Joe Filceolaire (talk) 14:34, 14 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  Support Start with one. A limited number of widely used basic properties are going to be easiest to work with. If subproperties can be made to work reasonably then a few or even a large number of subproperties might not be a problem, but as I understand it there's not a lot of support for subproperty-based constraints right now. ArthurPSmith (talk) 14:57, 14 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Of course the basic property mass (P2067) is necessary and should cover most early needs, but more specialized mass-related properties ought to be created normally as they are needed and go through the proposal process. I don't see a reason to hold them up artificially. Josh Baumgartner (talk) 00:55, 16 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Because the property proposal process is exhausting. We discussing very specific properties in a vast variety of cases and the number of proposal wrt. weight could be huge. Giving community a little time to digest before taking a lot of decisions, maybe non consistent with each other considering the process as he is, could be a good thing. author  TomT0m / talk page 07:51, 16 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  Done I created the generic property for mass. I think it is good to let the community try out how far we can stretch the generic property and then start new discussions for more specific mass propeties. --Tobias1984 (talk) 17:38, 15 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Data typeItem
Domainqualifier only
Example
Sourceexternal reference, Wikipedia list article, etc.
Motivation

Some properties for quantities, like elevation above sea level (P2044), are meaningful only in relation to some base value. That base value (e. g. height above sea level) can be given with this statement. (In the case of height, a more specific name for the property would be “above”.) Galaktos (talk) 20:26, 9 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Discussion
  Comment P2044 was originally labelled “height”. It has since been changed to “elevation above sea level”, which IMO is a mistake, since there’s no such thing as a single sea level – you need the property proposed here to specify which level the value is relative to. (There are lots of national standards for elevation measuring.) —Galaktos (talk) 12:19, 12 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Interesting. We certainly need a property for that too (“density: 19.32 g/cm³ at 20°C”), but I’m not sure if it’s possible to phrase this property sufficiently general that it can support both use cases.
(Aside: at least the dewiki article linked to standard temperature and pressure (Q102145) describes a whole slew of standard conditions, so I’m not sure if that particular item is useful.) —Galaktos (talk) 21:03, 12 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
@Filceolaire: On the P2044 talk page it was proposed to use determination method (P459) as a qualifier. I guess that could be used instead of this proposal, and also to record the conditions for a measurement (your proposal). Do you agree? —Galaktos (talk) 13:54, 14 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Actually I don't think I do. determination method (P459) is about the method or process used to make a measurement. For elevation above sealevel this would be triangulation or satellite rangefinding etc. This is independent of the sealevel reference used in displaying the elevation. so I think we need both properties. Joe Filceolaire (talk) 14:20, 14 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Hm, good point. And I still can’t think of a phrasing that supports “height relative to” and “measurement conditions”, so I think we need all three properties. —Galaktos (talk) 20:35, 14 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Can't we generalize this to something like reference point ? author  TomT0m / talk page 08:09, 15 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
In the case of elevation above some sort of quasi-sea-level, the elevation is above a surface of some sort, which may be an ellipsoid of revolution, or a geoid (which is an irregular surface with no simple mathematical description). So "reference point" is not the right phrase. Jc3s5h (talk) 13:27, 15 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Jc3s5h: In most of the cases that this property is to be used with, the elevation is not measured above some quasi-sea-level. It is measured above a mark on a pier in a harbour somewhere - a datum. This is usually called the "high water mark" or something similar and was fixed back in the 1800's when they started the national geographical survey - though it may have been updated more recently. en:ordnance datum has info on the British datum and the Irish datum. Joe Filceolaire (talk) 12:19, 18 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
A description of how this is done in the US is given at the FAQs for the National Geodetic Survey website. See the question "What are NGVD 29 and NAVD 88? How do the horizontal datums differ? Which should I use?" Sure, elevations in the US are determined by holding fixed the elevation value (around 7 metres) of the primary tidal bench mark, referenced to the new International Great Lakes Datum of 1985 local mean sea level height value, at Father Point/Rimouski, Quebec, Canada. But that point isn't assigned the value 0, and the method of relating a particular elevation to it requires following many rules associated with the datum (in this case, North American Vertical Datum of 1988). Those rules include sophisticated least-squares analysis of many observations at many points. So it is much better to say the elevation is found with respect to a particular named datum rather than a particular bench mark at the mouth of the St. Laurence River

Does this have a "formatter url"? Do these have national reference numbers as well? What is this reference used for? Will this reference be replaced by the item Qid when all these have wikdata items? Joe Filceolaire (talk) 21:49, 6 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@Filceolaire: Sorry for being this late in answering. About formatter urls, no, WM-IT doesn't use them (yet).
About national references numbers, unfortunately there are several reference numbers. What you probably don't know is that there is no unique national registry for monuments in Italy, but there is a plurality of registries, depending on the type of monument or area. Basically, the WLM code is used to make a connection between the Ministry's registry and the regional/local registries (which are not connected to each other).
I must also add that we plan to ulpoad also those codes. For sure, I'll ask also to create a property for the Emilia-Romagna (Q1263) official ID and the Ministry of Culture (Q1347047) ID in the next days, but first I need to check out all the data needed in the request.
About the last question, I'm not sure I'm following you on this point, may you please explain? Sannita - not just another it.wiki sysop 14:55, 10 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Sannita; Every one of these monuments will have an item here on wikidata. Each of those items will have a unique Wikidata ID - a number with a Q prefix. Why can't we use the wikidata ID instead of the WLM ID? That is the ID which will be around in the future and which will have all the database manipulation tools and goodies which will be built around wikidata.
If the answer is that the WLM ID is useful for now until a better workflow based on wikidata arrives then that is probably a good enough reason to have it - we can always delete it next year. Joe Filceolaire (talk) 14:32, 12 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
@Filceolaire: Sorry again for being late. This is a harsh period for me with both WM-IT and work-related problems.
Yes, the answer is "the WLM ID is useful for now, until a better workflow based on wikidata arrives".

Proposed byJeblad (talk)
Discussion

This is a spatial extent for an object, not to be confused with a length along a path. Also called maximum length some places. Other proposals include the discussion at Wikidata:Property_proposal/Pending/2#length and Wikidata:Requests for comment/Dimensions and units for the quantity datatype#Length 2. I believe it is a difference between a spatial objects length along the main axis and some length. The later would use a qualifier. An alternate name could be length extent, or even spatial length extent. Jeblad (talk) 20:16, 26 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

@Jeblad: In the development plan we have a geo-shape datatype (Wikidata:Development_plan#Geo-shape_datatype). I think it would be best to wait for that datatype. We could then either create this property or see if we can fill the database with high resolution shapes and then calculate values like: area, longest / shortest axis, northernmost point etc... -Tobias1984 (talk) 20:45, 26 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
If the shape is known, then it should be no problem to infer this value, but having an extent of an object does not imply having a shape of the same object. Jeblad (talk) 20:53, 26 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
I think it also depends on the resolution our geo-shapes will have. The calculated length of a lake especially with low-resolution polygons might be in conflict with what our sources say. So we probably need a property like this to input official survey data. -Tobias1984 (talk) 21:01, 26 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
This is often referred to as one dimension i an spatial extent, where the extent itself is either an instance of a class or a typed blank node. Because we probably want to describe this in a simple way we should keep the description "flat". We could use the qualifiers to describe all the values for an "extent", but then we would have nothing for the main snak. Or, we could set it to "no value". That would be weird. Jeblad (talk) 21:16, 26 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Note that #Spatial extent is an alternate and more general solution. Jeblad (talk) 01:40, 30 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Wait until we have number with dimension datatype. Filceolaire (talk) 21:10, 31 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
I guess this can be interpreted as the same that is described as "length" in Wikidata:Property proposal/Pending/2. It is often called the "major axis length". If we only call it length it will probably not be accurate enough. Imagine a lake with its largest extent east-west and a river flowing in from north and out to south. Then some people will say that the lakes biggest length is east-west (extent) and some north-south (direction of flow). We need something more accurate than this.
