  •   Oppose Hi, thank you for this proposition. However, I think these are just web links and not unique identifiers. Therefore it cannot be used with the unique identifier properties. Instead, you may create or complete marixism related items (ex: with dates, definitions, occupation of the people mentionned...) and use the publication mentionned in the website as reference (Published in To the Masses: Proceedings of the Third Congress of the Communist International, 1921 (https://www.haymarketbooks.org/books/897-to-the-masses), pp. 1203-1250. & Or in Toward the United Front: Proceedings of the Fourth Congress of the Communist International, 1922 (https://www.haymarketbooks.org/books/472-toward-the-united-front), pp. 1211-1255.) For social sciences, we have institutionnaly recognized identifiers (ex: thesaurus, encyclopedia IDs) and if you look in the Karl Marx item you will see there are already a lot of them.
    • The structure is similar to that of The Peerage person ID (P4638), which has been a property for some time. That property makes use of different sections on an alphabetically ordered set of pages, much like this one would. In terms of its utility as a property related to the social sciences, this one would be related to Marxism specifically. In many cases, there are links to archives of works that are in the public domain and other openly accessible content that is related to the identifiers' subjects.

Geagea (talk) 17:20, 7 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Geagea: שתי סיבות: א) זה עוזר בזיהוים של פריטי ויקינתונים על עיתונים (לפעמים יש כמה עיתונים בעלי שם דומה וגישה לזה עוזר), ב) בוויקיפדיה העברית, יש כבר קישורים לדף הזה בערכים רבים על עיתונים וכתבי עת. עם נוסיף את זה לוויקינתונים, נוכל ליצור את הקישורים האלה אוטומטית ובקלות וויקיפדיות אחרות יוכלו לנצל את זה גם. לוכסן (talk) 17:40, 7 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
מזהה עיתון לא מספיק צריך גם תאריך ומזהה כתבה. מזהה עיתון עצמו לא נותן קישור. Geagea (talk) 17:45, 7 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Geagea: מצטער, תן לי לדייק. מטרתי לקשר מהערך על, נגיד, "על המשמר" לאוסף המלא של כל המהדורות הסרוקות של העיתון. אני לא מתכוון להשתמש בזה כדי לקשר למהדורה מסוימת של העיתון בהקשר של הערת שוליים. בערך על המשמר בפרט, כבר יש קישור כזה בראש הפרק "קישורים חיצוניים" (הקישור לעיתונות היהודית ההיסטורית). לוכסן (talk) 18:01, 7 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
לכל עיתון יש פריט ויקינתונים (אם אין לו אז אפשר ליצור). אפשר לקשר לפריט. הפריט יכול לכלות קישור לאתר הספרייה. לא חושב שצריך בשביל זה מזהה. Geagea (talk) 18:24, 7 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Geagea: מבחינתי, זה לא קישור כלשהו אלא קישור ארכיוני מאוד ספציפי ושימושי (דומה מאוד למאפיינים קיימים דומים מהספרייה הלאומית של אוסטרליה (Trove newspaper ID (P5603)) ומספריית קונגרס (Chronicling America newspaper ID (P4898))), הגם שלוּ היינו מוסיפים קישור לפריט דרך איזה מאפיין (יש לך מאפיין מוצע? periodical archive URL (P7213)? full work available at URL (P953)?), הקישור יכלול ממשק רק בשפה שצוינה בקישור (ערבית, עברית, או אנגלית). אז, אם נרצה לקשר לזה בוויקיפדיה העברית, וירצו להשתמש בזה גם בוויקיפדיה הערבית או האנגלית, יצטרכו להוסיף עוד קישורים, שזה לא אידאלי. אז, בזמן שאיבת הקישור מוויקינתונים, איך נדע איזה קישור לכלול? זה כמובן אפשרי להשתמש במבחין כדי לציין את השפה, אבל אז יהיה צורך שלכל אחד מהמאות פריטים שבאוסף, נצטרך להוסיף שלושה קישורים כמעט זהים. הגם שנראה לי שזה יקשה על כל הוויקיפדיות שישתמשו בזה בעת השאיבה. לעומת זה, מאפיין זה משהו קל מאוד לשימוש. לוכסן (talk) 19:31, 7 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
לא חושב שיעשו בזה שימוש בוויקיפדיות אבל מאפיין דומה אכן קיים לפי הדוגמאות שהוספת. לא כתבת מה מספר סוגי העיתונים שמופיעים במאגר. אני גם לא מבין מה ההבדל בין " אוסף העיתונות וכתבי העת של הספרייה הלאומית" לבין אתר עיתונות יהודית היסטורית אם יש הבדל בכלל. אני לא מתנגד. אולי אם אפשר יהיה לקבל אקסל של מזהה עיתון עם שמות בשפות השונות ופרטים נוספים אפשר יהיה להריץ אופן ריפיין.

eLIBRARY Document Number (EDN) is an universal identifier for all documents at eLIBRARY.ru. They include academic articles, monographies, proceedings, and books of conference abstracts. At present more than 45 millions items have EDN. In plans all items having DOI will have also EDN, thus this ID will be more complete than DOI (with addition of Russian magazines, which don't have DOI yet). Wikidata should be a hub linking DOI and EDN identifiers. P.S. It's different from (and not replaces) Infovarius (talk) 11:57, 25 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Motivation

The National Library of Spain appears to previously have used the library catalog system Symphony from SirsiDynix which issued a control number that for persons began with the prefix XX and then was followed by 4 to 7 numbers. This number is National Library of Spain SpMaBN ID (BNE v1.0) (P950). Recently, they appear to have moved to a new library catalog system called Alma/Primo from Ex Libris. They posted an announcement regarding a catalog change in January. The new system is using an 18 digit all-digit number. The old number, which formerly was coded as "BNE" in VIAF, is now coded as "SpMaBN". This new 18 digit number is now coded in VIAF as "BNE". See Example 1 VIAF, Example 2 VIAF, Example 3 VIAF. I propose we also include this new control number as we do the old control number. --Chchowmein (talk) 07:04, 10 May 2025 (UTC); edited 05:29, 11 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  •   Comment this seems a good description of the situation (an addition: not only authority records but also subject headings have been converted into Alma, I have added an example); I have just one clarification to ask before supporting: do we have ready a way to massively add the new ID converting the 290k values of old National Library of Spain SpMaBN ID (BNE v1.0) (P950) we have? Doing it consulting VIAF, given the absence of VIAF dumps and the monthly limit of 10k connections to VIAF, is not feasible; so is there a dump of BNE containing all the old and the new IDs? --Epìdosis 08:00, 10 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    In general, maintaining two IDs at the same time is challenging, so I hesitate creating a new ID in these cases: the conversion seems to be still ongoing, the old ID is the only way to access datos.bne.es and the new ID is the only way to access Alma, but probably in the future it will be possible to access both using one of the two IDs. Considering the instability of the situation, I think we should wait creating this property and try to coordinate with BNE as much as possible to understand if the new Alma ID will become the standard one or, as in the case of NUKAT (NUKAT ID (P1207)), despite the change of ILS the old ID will be kept as the standard and stable one. @Bargioni: is trying to have updates from BNE. Epìdosis 14:07, 14 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    That seems prudent, I just assumed a new ID would be easiest to facilitate the migration (and prevent edits from mixing in the new number to the old ID). To your question about the BNE dataset, I don't know the answer and was hoping someone else with more familiarity would chime in. But, I mentioned this at WikiProject Authority Control, this authority record download page from BNE provides their latest release as a dataset that begins with three column names: id|id_symphony|otros_identificadores| – notably (from a quick skim) it seems all entries have a new 18 digit number in the id column; the occasional entry has the old XX-prefixed code in the second column as " XX#######" (with a leading space) but this appears rare unfortunately. I'll echo the suggestion we look for a source that has both. Chchowmein (talk) 23:01, 14 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  • All but one of the examples is for a person. Are other agents also covered by this? What about genre/form headings in addition to subjects? AdamSeattle (talk) 02:01, 13 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    In the Authority Search search box dropdown (when English is chosen in the UI) they list: Keyword (all fields), Personal Name, Corporate Name, Meeting Name, Name, Subject, Geographic Term, Genre/Form Term, and Uniform Title. I added the record for science fiction (Q24925) as an example. Chchowmein (talk) 04:32, 13 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Motivation

Archaeological National Register (Q124828308) (RAN) is Moldova's recently approved registry of archaeological locations, superseding the sublist of archaeological locations from Q108443136 (on Wikidata the latter are tagged with instance of (P31)former archaeological monument of Moldova (as previously defined in the Registry of state protected monuments) (Q106378344)).

All items in RAN are uniquely identified using an ID. The ID (e.g. 1700/9600.S2) is comprised of:

  • the CUATM unique code (CUATM unique identification code (P13182)) of the city/village the archaeological location is located in – e.g. 1700 (note that if P13182 starts with 0, the first digit is disregarded in RAN)
    • in some cases, the unique code of another city/village, separated from the first by a forward slash – e.g. /9600
  • a dot – .
    • if item is a so-called "sector", the capital letter S – S
  • a simple count that starts at 1, to disambiguate multiple archaeological location in the same city/village – e.g. 2

The name of this ID eventually needs to be properly disambiguated from RAN ID (P2845), a similar kind of identifier from neighboring Romania. Pinging @Strainu who had worked on that ID.

  •   Conditional support I do support the creation of the property. But I do suggest changing the name from RAN code to RAN ID (Moldova) or RAN ID (MDA) to disambiguate it from RAN IDs from other countries. Conversely, I suggest changing the name for the existing RAN ID (P2845) to 'RAND ID (ROU)' @Strainu. Mtrognitz (talk) 10:17, 28 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  •   Oppose Hello Gikü   This seems interesting, but I don't understand something. I do not understand anything about the source: one link does not seem to provide the examples precisely and the second link (archive) seems empty. In this case, how to fill items from an external source to WD? In the examples, the codes must be linked to something, both in a source and in WD; if nothing is linked, this proposition cannot be a property. What is "Bălți I" for example? What is "2897–2904, 2906, 2907, 2910– 2916, 2919–2925"? Where can I see these sectors? What and how are these terms linked? The regex is understandable without adding the term "(regex)", but I do not see how to approve this regex without a complete external list of codes linked to tangible things. I don't want to look for those 11156 IDs, I prefer to see those IDs in front of me. Cordially. —Eihel (talk) 12:37, 10 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    Hi Eihel, thanks for your input!
    In the provided link to the law, do you see a text all the way at the end "anexa"? If you click on it, does it download a DOCX file for you? That file contains the table of codes; I have converted it in a CSV for myself, intending to prepare for an OpenRefine effort.
    Didn't understand your point about linking... do you mean the items are not available on Wikidata? If so, like I mentioned in the request my plan is to create the items and populate the new property in them from the get-go. If that's not allowed, I can create the items first and then add the property. Gikü (talk) 15:03, 10 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  •   Question If it's just for the authors, why add the narrators in the sources? —Eihel (talk) 13:27, 10 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    @Eihel: It's not just for the authors: as said above, "The website uses the same identifier for authors and narrators" ;-) --Horcrux (talk) 14:41, 10 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    @Horcrux: Ok, but there are narrators who do not have any work of their own, so they have no place in this property proposition. Example: Audrey d'Hulstère has no works by her pen. See example 6 : https://www.storytel.com/authors/-394247 does not work too. Otherwise the property must be renamed, the formatter URL (P1630) and the regex must be replaced. Also, the links do not work without a language indication in the URL. Cordially. —Eihel (talk) 15:38, 10 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    @Eihel: URL https://www.storytel.com/authors/-394247 works for me (but maybe it's just guessing my language through the IP I'm connecting with), but I have no problem in specifying a language tag in it. For what concerns the label, my initial thought was to use "author" for the label and "narrator" as alias, but maybe it could be a better solution to name the property "Storytel author or narrator ID". Finally, I don't see any problem in having one default formatter URL and a secondary one, as long as the ID is recognized under both the URLs (i.e. it shows the person's name in both cases). --Horcrux (talk) 17:59, 10 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    and what do you get as URL after the page is displayed, @Horcrux: ? And most importantly, what is the content of the page? —Eihel (talk) 19:26, 10 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    @Eihel: I'm redirected to https://www.storytel.com/it/authors/nicolas-riedel-394247. I see the name "Nicolas Riedel" (so he's recognized) but no associated work. --Horcrux (talk) 19:37, 10 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  •   Strong oppose @Horcrux: There is a cookie that allows you to get to the Italian page (storytel.com/it/authors), but the link to the proposal does not exist. When you arrive, you must first choose one of the 26 available countries. Once the country is chosen, the destination URL disappears for the home page. And once again, narrators who are not writers have an empty author page, like those mentioned before (Audrey d'Hulstère or Nicolas Riedel); only the narrator pages are filled, https://www.storytel.com/it/narrators/nicolas-riedel-394247. So, as I said, the link from the source to the narrators is not useful: you have to
    @Eihel:
    • Unfortunately I still can't see the country problem because, I think, accessing the website from Italy I don't have any possibility of changing country/language (I guess for copyright reasons). [I just trued with the "en" tag, which apparently doesn't exist, but other tags (like "in", "es", etc.) work indeed. Anyway, apparently, still I don't see any way of changing country/language without manually editing the URL.] I also tried the private mode or accessing via other browsers, so my problem are not cookies. Anyway, I set all the URLs to English, so I hope we're happy on this side.
    • Regarding the other point raised: this property stores IDs, not URLs. Having two properties would just be redundant, as the website uses the same ID for both authors and narrators (whether it provides or not useful information in some cases is secondary to me). If you want to add some further metadata, you could suggest using some qualifiers (e.g. applies to people (P6001)). --Horcrux (talk) 09:33, 11 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    Hello Horcrux   I replaced the links with the Swedish language, because the site was created in Sweden. The only English-speaking country is for the Indian page (https://www.storytel.com/in).

    For the second problem, if you don't want to make a second property, fine, the problem is still the same. The best fix would be to include the languages ​​in the URL formatter, because authors and narrators are only in certain languages. So there is only one possibility left, narrators are taken into account:
    • en label = Storytel author and narrator ID
    • desc en = identifier of an author or narrator on the Storytel site according to the language
    • same thing for other languages
    • allowed values ​​= (be|br|bg|co|dk|eg|fi|fr|de|id|il|in|is|it|mx|nl|no|pl|sa|sg|kr|es|se|th|tr|ae)\/(authors|narrators)\/[1-9]\d{1,6}
    • formatter URL = https://www.storytel.com/$1
    • single value constraint = no
    • source parameter identical to what is currently there by changing the language
    If a site offers blank pages, Wikidata is not intended to recover bad IDs from poorly made sites. Cordially. —Eihel (talk) 22:31, 12 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Currently, many conlangs (constructed languages) that don't have official ISO 639-3 codes have an ISO 639-3 code (P220) value listed anyway, for a code issued by the ConLang Code Registry; they generally take the format Black Speech (Q686210)ISO 639-3 code (P220)qbsissued by (P2378)ConLang Code Registry (Q107713633). The problem is that this is wrong: the ISO 639-3 standard defines the codes qaa-qtz as "reserved for private use", which means that anyone can use them for any purpose, and still be compliant with the standard. The fact that the ConLang Code Registry has issued codes in this range does not mean that these conlangs have actually received ISO 639-3 codes, though; it just means that a completely separate organisation has decided to issue codes which just-so-happen to be in ISO 639-3's private use range.

This is obviously intentional, as it allows them to be used as language codes without conflicting with the official ISO standard, but that doesn't mean we should have statements which claim they're actually part of the standard. Simply saying that the code is "issued by the ConLang Code Registry" doesn't make it clear that the ConLang Code Registry is not entitled to issue ISO 639-3 codes, and therefore obscures the fact that the code isn't actually part of the standard in the first place (i.e. that the statement is wrong). Outside of conlang communities, these codes see almost no use, and they may conflict other privately-issued codes used in other communities.

To get around the issue, I'd like to propose a separate property for the ConLang Code Registry, so that these codes can be listed without polluting the data for those who only want information on official ISO 639-3 codes.  – The preceding unsigned comment was added by Theknightwho (talk • contribs) at 12:47, August 16, 2024‎ (UTC).

  •   Support This makes sense to me. Are there really 255 of these? ArthurPSmith (talk) 19:24, 16 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    @ArthurPSmith Yes - 252 active codes and 3 retired ones according to https://www.kreativekorp.com/clcr/. There are 520 codes in the private use range (qaa-qtz), which is the theoretical maximum, and growth is quite uneven, with some years seeing very few codes added (2 added in 2021), while others see many (32 added in 2023). Codes are retired if they're replaced by genuine ISO 639-3 codes. Theknightwho (talk) 21:18, 16 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  •   Oppose I don't think this would be a good idea.
    It's not a coincidence that the ConLang Code Registry (CLCR) codes are in ISO 639-3's private-use range, the whole point is that they are private-use ISO 639-3 codes for use as ISO 639-3 codes.
    ISO 639-3 provides the set of private-use codes for people to use how they want, which means that users assign their own meanings. It's true that other places may assign conflicting meanings, but that's why those statements all have a qualifier saying who gives it that meaning. Conflicts shouldn't be a problem either, we can use constraints like single-best-value constraint (Q52060874) and/or add separator (P4155) to the constraint.
    The existing statements shouldn't pollute the data if you're using it correctly. The items with private-use codes also have a no value statement set to preferred rank to indicate that they have no official code, and if you're looking at all statements, you need to take ranks and qualifiers into account for the data to be meaningful anyway.
    The real issue here is: How should we model usage of private-use codes? This isn't limited to CLCR or even ISO 639-3 (e.g. XK is widely used as the ISO 3166-1 code for Kosovo, Qaag is used by Unicode and CLDR as the ISO 15924 code for Zawgyi, U+F8D0 is the Unicode codepoint normally used for the Klingon letter "a"), so I don't think it makes sense to have a property specifically for CLCR's private-use ISO 639-3 codes. We should have a model we can apply to private-use codes in general instead.
    - Nikki (talk) 09:23, 28 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    @Nikki These are not ISO 639 codes, though - these are codes assigned by another body which have been intentionally designed to match up with ISO 639's private use range. It's not a question of qualifying the codes or setting no value as a preferred rank - it's the fact that it is factually wrong to say that they are ISO 639 codes at all, and they shouldn't be listed there at all.

  •   Oppose I think that listing the ConLang codes in the ISO namespace promotes their use and thus interoperability; even though they are not part of the ISO standard. Secondly, if a code is used by ConLang and another organization, we want to know this "conflict", and the best is to see it in the ISO namespace, with qualifiers as shown above --Vladimir Alexiev (talk) 05:48, 22 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

This number is a good way to identify these theses, independently of the way of publication. Doctoral theses are numbered sequentially across all disciplines since 1910. This is the primary way to identify them. There is no "national" thesis database.

Libra (Q117216160) includes copies of some of the recent ones and provides an identifier for maybe 50% of the authors, but the DOI mentioned there aren't valid. See DOI:10.35662/unine-thesis-1438 for sample #4 above.

In 2021, the AGORHA website had a new version, with a new resource identifier policy. The ancient system was build on domain prefix and ID. Based on this system, 3 properties were created in wikidata : AGORHA person/institution ID (P2342), AGORHA work ID (P2344), AGORHA event ID (P2345). The new system has an unique identifier system (UUID) and this property proposal is to have a unique property in correspondance for all resources items of this database.

Hello Jahl de Vautban The old properties, corresponding to the previous system, are obsolete and should be indicated as such. Of course, I intend to fill in the new identifier and populate it in wikidata with the new property. It wouldn't be difficult and could be automated. There is currently a redirection system and with CURL commands it is possible to get the new identifier automatically. Best regards Shonagon (talk) 08:24, 21 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Samoasambia Thanks for the suggestion. UUID as been added. Yes, getting the new UUIDs would be easy. Best regards Shonagon (talk) 08:24, 21 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Hello Thierry Caro. As indicated in the name of the property, AGORHA work ID (P2344) is for artworks, not every items. It is not possible to use it for people unless changing the nature of the property. We should not do the same in changing URLs paterns for others properties ; creating a new and unique AGORHA property, corresponding to the new ID INHA policy, is a better choice (no damage to the previousa and historic data ; specific adapted property to the new system). Having a new porperty was already suggested in https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Property_talk:P2342 and in a previous discusssion of the French pump village (no archive because of Flow). Currently using the AGORHA person/institution ID (P2342) is a mess because the pattern correspond to old IDs, which are not displayed on the websites pages. Some contributors are adding the new ID which can not work or give up to fill them. The issue, which exist since several years, need a solution ; this proposal is to find a clean solution. Best regards Shonagon (talk) 08:24, 21 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
No. It's uselessly complicated. Just use the property that already exists and works. Thierry Caro (talk) 14:16, 21 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
No, there is still an issue. This is not the same property for all types of things and the one for artworks. You made alone the changement on the artwork property despite there had been a discussion about the solution, especially about a new property, and what you did doesn't fix the problem for people items. For now there is always an issue and an unique Agohra proprerty should fix it. On the contrary, without tinkering with what already exists, it would be simple, useful and sustainable.

Wikidata is a wonderful hub of identifiers for the global knowledge graph. Yale's LUX system (https://lux.collections.yale.edu/) provides enriched data in a standard form for 42 million records, including all of the library, archive and museums at Yale. LUX reconciles with many systems, including wikidata already. We hope that by enabling backlinks from wikidata to LUX, that others will be able to use our CC0 data to improve their own systems.

    • I had not noticed this proposal before I started proposing individual properties for each of the LUX classes. I'm not sure whether a single property or separate ones is better. I lean toward separate because they clearly identify the type of entity, but if community consensus is that a single one is better, I'm happy to go along with that.

      LUX, as with any three letter word, is far from unique, even in the search space. Yale on the other hand are unlikely to make another search system called LUX :)
      As for 1 vs 10, apart from proliferation of properties (a ship that has LONG since sailed here), data management for 10 seems much harder than for 1.

We need a specific property to link the categories of an award to ISFDB, because the URL pattern is different than the one used for the awards themselves (ISFDB award ID (P11395)). Those specific URLs are already used on several Wikipedias. --Harmonia Amanda (talk) 22:29, 1 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Important classifier for technical documents.

Nominally "DCC" is a more generic classification code as shown at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IEC_61355: eg FB is "Flow diagrams". This DCC is shown eg on the page of piping and instrumentation diagram (Q1890459)Identity numberD00043, but the identity number is the more specific one (to distinguish it from process flow diagram (Q912333) and other flow diagrams).

I think "IEC DCC" is short and memorable, so I'm proposing it as one of the aliases for this prop.

IEC CDD is an online database of product characteristics and properties. https://cdd.iec.ch/cdd/iec61360/iec61360.nsf/Welcome?OpenPage includes the following datasets:

They are all based on International Registration Data Identifier (IRDI), eg 0112/2///61360_4#AAA234 for the first example (or 0112/2///61360_4#AAA234#001 with version number).

We could use a single property "IRDI" but the formatter URLs are different for all standards in the CDD. So we'd need a custom resolver based on the prefix (or rather, the standard id, eg 61360_4 --Vladimir Alexiev (talk), 06:14, April 22, 2025

Motivation

edit

IEC CDD is an online database of product characteristics, properties, units of measure, etc. In Wikidata:Property_proposal/IEC_CDD_for_electronics I listed all parts of that database (IEC standards). Here I'm proposing a prop for this part:

I don't know why this tree doesn't expand, but there are links between units and unit lists, allowing us to discover more. Also, QUDT has 1215 units, 211 quantityKinds and 4 physical constants with property qudt:iec61360Code, also expressed as link qudt:informativeReference, see https://github.com/qudt/qudt-public-repo/issues/1092.

IEC CDD codes are all International Registration Data Identifier (IRDI), eg 0112/2///62720#UAA607 for the first example (or 0112/2///62720#UAA607#001 with version number).

Unfortunately quantityKinds and physicalConstants use a slightly different prefix (Units vs ListsOfUnitsAllVersions), eg (hover over the URLs):

Perhaps it's best to use a single property "IRDI" for:

  • IEC 62720 units,
  • IEC 62720 quantityKinds and physicalConstants,
  • other IEC standards defining units and quantityKinds,
  • other IEC standards covered by IEC CDD

But the formatter URLs are different for all standards in the CDD so we'd need a custom resolver based on the prefix (eg 62720 vs 61987), and even for units vs quantityKinds and physicalConstants (but I don't know how to distinguish them, except by Wikidata item type).

  •   Comment Are you proposing to create a "smart" formatter for these? The current redirector service is "dumb" - it doesn't look up anything in Wikidata for reference, it just relies on what is provided as parameters. ArthurPSmith (talk) 19:23, 29 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

A ID in the Mobility Database (Q134286316), which is a database of General Transit Feed Specification feed (Q113379415) maintained by Mobility Data (Q134286341).

Wikidata already has a property Onestop ID (P11109) for Transitland (Q113379392), which is a database with the same purpose, but a slightly broader scope.

  WikiProject Authority control has more than 50 participants and couldn't be pinged. Please post on the WikiProject's talk page instead., @عُثمان:, @BrokenSegue:, @Thryduulf:, @PiperMcCorkle: since you were all involved in Wikidata:Property proposal/Onestop ID, and this is basically the same type of database.
