Motivation

Although there doesn't seem to be a resolver by the Danish Bibliographic Centre yet, the DBC IDs are harvested by VIAF and thus find their way into Wikidata items ... using a wrong property with a similar title (Database of Classical Scholars ID (P1935)). I'm tired of cleaning this up, so I propose we create a proper DBC author ID. Jonathan Groß (talk) 09:18, 10 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
