Motivation

The 2012 ACM Computing Classification System can be utilized in semantic web applications. It relies on a semantic vocabulary as the single source of categories and concepts that reflect the state of the art of the computing discipline. This classification system plays a key role in the classification of publications in the computer science. This property will help to link the concepts of Wikidata (and so, also wikipedia) to scientists' publications. Open Science is near... Karima Rafes (talk) 22:31, 6 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Discussion

@Karima Rafes: Please provide an example that relates to a stated, existing Wikidata item, as done for other property proposals. Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 09:04, 17 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@Pigsonthewing: I inserted examples. It's ok ? --90.44.36.135 11:47, 17 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you. It seems that the ID is, for instance "10002997" and the formatter URL is "http://dl.acm.org/buildccscode.cfm?id=$1&lid=f". Is that pattern consistent? (i.e. can we always replace "$1" with an ID and get a vaid URL?) Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 12:56, 17 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@Pigsonthewing: It seems, we can always replace "$1" with an ID and get a vaid URL. The two solutions are good for me. I'm prefer URL because the user of wikidata can see directly the page of ACM about this ID but it's true, the URL is not very nice... We replace the type URL by a integer ? --Karima Rafes (talk) 08:34, 31 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@Karima Rafes: Not quite; we actually use "string" datatypes for such things. I've made the necessary changes, above, but I see that both of your examples use the same value. Please check. Thank you. Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 08:57, 31 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@Pigsonthewing: Great ! Now, we wait the validation ? --Karima Rafes (talk) 09:03, 31 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@Karima Rafes: No, we need to resolve "both of your examples use the same value". Is that correct?

@Pigsonthewing: Yes this is correct. For the same ID, there will be hundreds of entities. Here vulnerability (Q631425) malware (Q14001) will have the same id 10002997 --Karima Rafes (talk) 16:04, 31 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@Karima Rafes:, So each of these numbers corresponds to a class ('category') of items. In that case shouldn't this property be used on the wikidata item corresponding to the ICM category, rather than using it on every item in that category? Will adding it to every item breach any ICM copyright?
Note that the ICM categorisation has only one property (the category) so it may well be better to add the ICM category to every item rather than trying to bend the wikidata statements to fit the ICM categorisation. @Pigsonthewing: what do you think? Joe Filceolaire (talk) 15:39, 2 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

So how many of these IDs does ICM have? Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 20:52, 2 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@Pigsonthewing: Sorry, I do not know ICM. I speak about ACM Computing Classification. I suppose, ICM is one of hundreds of classification in the world. Here, the question is not to give again (and again...) a new category in Wikidata. I do not know if ACM is the best or not. The question is : How do you link the "million" of scientific publications with ACM's ID with the page of Wikipedia via Wikidata ? My proposition is to show the old publications in relation with a page of Wikipedia via a gadget that will use the ACM's ID in Wikidata. Have you an other manner to do that ? This new property is not nice but it's the more simple solution for linking Wikipedia to computer science's publications. I hope you are convinced. Bye --Karima Rafes (talk) 07:59, 3 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@Karima Rafes: Which proportion of the ACM categories don't have their counterparts in Wikidata items ? I bet only a few ... This is a case for Databases interlinking, and Wikidata is quite good at it. We can ask for a "mix and match" (https://tools.wmflabs.org/mix-n-match/?#) dataset to directly map the ACM categories to their Wikidata items. Wikidata has not to replicate any classification in the world, but has to find nice ways to interlink databases. I'm afraid adding a property to reflect another classification is not the custom here, we use this to source our own classification statements and properties like main subject (P921). author TomT0m / talk page 09:15, 3 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry; I meant ACM. Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 10:03, 3 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@Pigsonthewing:@TomT0m: Another solution, it's to change the name of this property by : "ACM 2012 ID" and the description : "ACM's ID for databases interlinking". So the wikidata's users will not use this property for creating another classification in Wikidata. This property will be only an ID for "Databases interlinking". What do you think ? Bye --Karima Rafes (talk) 10:16, 4 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I would say to leave the label alone and rewrite the description to make clear it is only for the wikidata item corresponding to that ACM category and not for the members of the category. Joe Filceolaire (talk) 16:16, 5 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@Filceolaire: But the aim is to link the entities of Wikidata with ACM's categories via this property. It's exactly the same problem with the ROME Occupation Code (P867) for the occupations and there are no problems with other classifications in wikidata. I simplified the description and label to avoid using it as a category (like the property ROME Occupation Code (P867)). It's more clear now ? Bye --Karima Rafes (talk) 20:08, 5 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Karima property ROME Occupation Code (P867) can be used to label wikidata items (not "entities". On wikidata "entitities" = "properties" + "items"). Property occupation (P106) is then used to link items for persons to these occupation items.

Similarly the proposed "ACM Classification Code 2012" property can be used to link to the corresponding wikidata items (items with the "subclass of (P279)" property) but individual wikidata items associated with this category will use a number of different properties to link to it, including instance of (P31), part of (P361), main subject (P921), facet of (P1269) so it may be difficult to harvest all of these associated items (but if you manage to do so you will have more info than the ACM "category" relation would give you.

This is a spatial extent for an object. Also called maximum width some places.

Oppose -- "Longitude" is only valid for a small subset of all satellites; for example, it is a "nominal longitude" or "assigned longitude" or maybe "licensed longitude" (licensed by the ICC or some such) only for Earth satellites in Geosynchronous or Geostationary orbits.

Discussion

Support. Awesome idea. The fact that currency units are somewhat unwieldy due to exchange rates is an issue that needs attention, but it should not prevent us from creating interesting and relevant properties like this. Emw (talk) 19:00, 10 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Comment I think issues are more about verifiability/privacy/volatility than with exchange rate fluctation (very large fortunes are often stocks, and often mostly in just one company, which means that the volatility in local currency will often have more impact than exchange rate fluctation). It means that we should have a date qualifier providing a day, not just a year, if we want something a bit precise, and I am not sure such data exist. This best known source about large wealth is Forbes 500 but it is not really a model of precision and transparency. I cannot even find any indication about how they got their data. And even if we say "this is what we have, so let's go with it", their might be a copyright issue as their is arguably an element of creativity about determining these wealth data (not sure about that actually, maybe its ok as US laws are more permissive than Europe's in this respect). All that does not mean I am opposing this property, just wondering about its practical implementation.
Also about the datatype, I do not think that currencies are planned as a unit anytime soon. Should we rather create a "currency" qualifier ? --Zolo (talk) 07:28, 16 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

The concerns about copyright and sourcing seem like a stretch, and, in the seemingly remote chance they're valid, applicable to many if not most of our existing properties. More information on the Forbes ranking is in The World's Billionaires. The "currency" qualifier seems like a reasonable workaround for proper unit support. Emw (talk) 13:00, 16 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, a currency qualifier is a good idea. Not sure why there are privacy problems (this appears in infoboxes already) or copyright (Wikipedia is CC-BY-SA and uses that info). --Jakob (talk) 13:27, 16 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Micru, John says: "Yes, currency will be among those units." Emw (talk) 00:51, 18 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

@Emw:. Currently, we are refraining from importing European population data, following the official advice from the legal team. Much of it is CC-BY-SA but that does not appear to be permissive enough. I am not saying that we can't find uncopyrightable data about this, just that importing the full Forbes list may not be ok - and that in most cases the data are imprecise and debatable. --Zolo (talk) 16:38, 17 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Zolo, could you please provide a link to that advice from the legal team regarding European population data? If that data can't be included on Wikidata because it's CC-BY-SA (is population data even copyrightable under US law?), then presumably we should delete Dewey Decimal Classification (P1036), since the Dewey Decimal Classification is not freely licensed, or at best licensed under CC BY-NC-ND, which is not compatible with CC0. A comment in Wikidata:Property_proposal/Archive/17#P1036 mentions it's "free to use the simple ID" from DDC, but the statement is rather tenuously sourced. If we're using DDC ID without formal approval from the legal team on the presumption that it's OK, then why prevent this property from being created?

You mention "importing the full Forbes list may not be ok". I just semi-randomly went through the Wikipedia articles of several people in http://www.forbes.com/billionaires/list/, and Dietrich Mateschitz (#142), Joseph Lau (#143), and S. Truett Cathy (#214), Karl Wlaschek (#312), Ronald Lauder (#410), and Anil Agarwal (#534) all have net worth claims sourced to the Forbes list. If you're basing your rationale on copyright standards, then shouldn't we delete most coverage about net worth in Wikipedia's prose content? It's essentially all cited to Forbes.

And again, regarding the precision and debatability of the data, that is not unique to this property, nor, in my opinion, a compelling reason in this case to not source statements to Forbes. Forbes seems far and away to be far and away the most cited source for this data in the world -- presumably the reference source is good enough for Wikidata. Also, properties like genomic start (P644) and genomic end (P645) are debated among biologists, and more accurate values regularly supersede less accurate values, but this doesn't mean those properties aren't appropriate. The same holds for claims about medical condition (P1050), cause of death (P509), etc., etc. It doesn't mean we shouldn't have these properties, it simply means that we need to cite our sources. Emw (talk) 00:46, 18 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

@Emw: Citing a source in a article and make a machine-readable copy of a list are two different things. The advice of the legal team is meta:Wikilegal/Database Rights. Apparently, things are simpler for the US than for the EU though.

If it is legally ok to import the Forbes list, I have nothing against it, I am just warning that it is very imprecise (and also, some data are given for "X and family" and I am not sure we can use that in the item about X without family).

I realize I have not replied to the more general point about privacy/verifiability. The sort of issue I had in mind was more like there is a strong suspicion that politician X has accumulated 20 millions but nothing is reallly proven. That does not mean this property should not be created, but I think its usage would deserve a close watch. --Zolo (talk) 06:49, 18 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

┌────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘ Zolo, thanks for the pointer. Is European law applicable to storing data on Wikidata? My understanding is that only United States law is applicable in that regard. If European law is applicable then it seems the Forbes data (and a vast swath of other data currently used on Wikidata) should not be on Wikidata per the sweat of the brow doctrine. If it is not applicable, then an important question is: do Forbes's net worth statements amount to a creative expression? Is a set of statements about the net worth of 1,645 people copyrightable? Forbes describes the methodology behind their 2014 Forbes Billionaires List as follows:

To compile net worths, we value individuals’ assets–including stakes in public and private companies, real estate, yachts, art and cash–and take into account estimates of debt. We attempt to vet these numbers with all billionaires. Some cooperate; others don’t. We also consult an array of outside experts in various fields.
—Inside The 2014 Forbes Billionaires List: Facts And Figures

That methodology isn't obviously subjective, original or creative. I think another important point to make here is that using the Forbes list data (even all of it) to cite individuals' net worth claims would not be "importing the Forbes list". Claims for this property would not be directly compiled in a list; they would go onto Wikidata pages about individuals. This seems to avoid the "selection and arrangement" criterion for database or list protections.

Finally, I see no fundamental difference between these claims existing on Wikipedia (which they already do) and them existing here on Wikidata (which is being proposed). The sampling of Forbes data in Wikipedia articles described in my previous post indicates that Wikipedia uses at least a substantial portion of the Forbes list. Much of this exists in highly structured infoboxes as the 'net_worth' parameter. Those infobox statements on Wikipedia are trivially machine-readable. Statements about net worth Wikipedia's prose are also very machine-readable, e.g. with a simple set of regular expressions. If copyright concerns surrounding the Forbes list prevent this property can be created on Wikidata, then the logically consistent thing to do would be to delete almost all claims in the Template:Infobox_person parameter 'net_worth' from Wikipedia. If you don't support doing that, then why not support this property? Emw (talk) 17:00, 18 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I am not opposing this property, and tend to support it even. But as the datatype is not here yet, we may as well discuss it here :).

There may not be a fundamental difference between copying the list of in Wikipedia and in Wikidata, but still there is a difference in degree (I 'd say machine readability/data-minability of Wikidata > Forbe's website > Wikipedia). And I am not sure their data can be considered orginal or creative (asset valuation implies methodologicla choice but their do not appear extremely sophisticated not particularly original, and their appear to be gaps in their list but that probably does not qualify as active selection of data). Yes, it's quite possible that everything is fine, but sometimes, law is a bit surprising so I don't know. --Zolo (talk) 20:14, 18 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Comments:

To be honest I am badly informed about wikidata, just to make that clear. I do think that I need a property to be created in order to store values, please confer Wikidata:Requests for permissions/Bot/DrTrigonBot and Wikidata talk:Infoboxes task force#Feasibility of DrTrigonBot/Subster to update Wikidata. Thanks for all your help and patience. Greetings --DrTrigon (talk) 20:54, 22 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry. What do you need ? An property with a numeric datatype ? Or a property representing a numeric concept with a string as datatype ? If I take your example with swiss franc you want something like "currency division" to give the nominal value of each coin/note ( 0.05, 0.1, 0.2, 0.5, 1, 2, 5, 10, 20, 50, 100, 200, 1000)? Snipre (talk) 21:03, 22 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

In fact I think a good thing would be a generic property (e.g. "DrTrigonBot Value" or even more generic "Bot Value") for the bot in cases when it has data to write for which no property was created yet - as it is the situation right now for a property "Currency Exchange Rate" (or similar) that is needed for swiss franc. This would allow the bot to already be tested or used without having the need to create always the suitable/correct property before being able to check if the bot works at all (in that specific situation), e.g. That would be a really good and useful/helpful thing! Thanks a lot for considering this and Greetings --DrTrigon (talk) 21:41, 22 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Just for a test you can see if there is a property in request for deletion using string as datatype or a property which not used in a lot of item or finally try on the demo version of wikidata. Snipre (talk) 22:05, 22 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Thats clear, currently I am using something else. Also the demo was already used to adopt the bot code. What I need is something permanent. In future and daily (usual) operation there will always be a case where you have to test, since the bot is freely configurable from here - by any user. --DrTrigon (talk) 22:36, 22 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I think testing bots should not be done on the productive Wikidata, except in the sandbox.--Faux (talk) 17:04, 23 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

It is not testing bots, but testing setups - as on wikipedia itself you will always have situations were you have to change something, modify setup of data, configuration and so on... at least that is what holds for me. Then I have to disagree because testing of bots is needed, e.g. in order to fullfill the bot flag request a given number (e.g. 250) of test edits have to be done. And there will in future clearly be other situations - as soon wikidata will be used frequently... Greetings --DrTrigon (talk) 20:55, 23 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I mean ... it does not need to be something bot specific, what about general maintenance (for human users)? I would even more support such a property, that can be used if it is e.g. not clear yet what property to use, one has to be renamed, other name conflicts or anything else... --DrTrigon (talk) 20:59, 23 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Why not simply a sandbox property per datatype ? I do not see what harm can be done with that, as long as it is clear that it is a sandbox. --Zolo (talk) 21:29, 23 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Sounds good! (+1) Thanks for the idea! Greetings --DrTrigon (talk) 22:41, 23 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Do you plan using that sandbox property only on sandbox/test items, or also on production items? --Faux (talk) 12:12, 24 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I do not see anything wrong in using it other items. It will not look very good, and if we can avoid using it too massively, that is better, but raw Wikidata items do not look very good anyhow. The important thing is that it does not unintendedly get transcluded to Wikipedias and other clients. And as long as they do not query sandbox statements, I see no reason for that to happen. --Zolo (talk) 12:22, 24 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

So... are we done here, or for what are we waiting? ;) If you agree I would step forwards and create following 3 properties:

Label: Sandbox-CommonsMediaFile / Description: Sandbox property for value of type "Commons Media File" / Data type: Commons Media File
Label: Sandbox-Item / Description: Sandbox property for value of type "Item" / Data type: Item
Label: Sandbox-String / Description: Sandbox property for value of type "String" / Data type: String

any comments or thoughts on this? Thanks and Greetings --DrTrigon (talk) 10:52, 29 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Ok here we go:

so these can be considered done but I think it makes sence to propose the future ones too and set them to the pending page:
