country of registry edit
Originally proposed at Wikidata:Property proposal/Transportation
| Description | country where a ship is or has been registered |
|---|---|
| Data type | Item |
| Domain | transport (Q7590) |
| Allowed values | countries |
| Example 1 | Coral Mermaid (Q83637311) → Panama (Q804) |
| Example 2 | MS Scandinavian Star (Q1528996) → France (Q142) qualified with start time (P580)=1971, end time (P582)=1983 The Bahamas (Q778) qualified with start time (P580)=1983, end time (P582)=2004 Mongolia (Q711) qualified with start time (P580)=2004, end time (P582)=2004 |
| Example 3 | Norwegian Gannet (Q59220446) → Norway (Q20) qualified with start time (P580)=2018 |
| Planned use | a replacement for country (P17) which now is used to describe the country of registry, but actually is a property to describe geographical placement |
| See also | port of registry (P532) |
Motivation edit
At the moment country (P17) is used to describe which flag a ship is sailing under, which also reflects which country port of registry (P532) is located in. This will imply that the ship is located in this country, which is not the case. To prevent this misunderstanding I propose this new property. It could be argued that this property is not needed when we already have port of registry (P532), but in many cases the sources only provide the country of registration, not the port.
