- Motivation
JSTOR (Q1420342) (short for Journal Storage) is a digital library founded in 1995. Originally containing digitized back issues of academic journals, it now also includes books and primary sources, and current issues of journals. It provides full-text searches of almost 2,000 journals. JSTOR now links to Wikipedia, and uses Wikipedia article ledes as descriptive text. JSTOR is a Wikipedia library partner.

- Support and I note that JSTOR's item topics list is a much richer dataset than their item subject list. E.g., http://www.jstor.org/stable/j.ctt1gr7dmx.37 has "Subjects: Sociology, Language & Literature", but "Topics: Animal tales, Supernaturalism, Folktales, Storytelling, Native Americans, Churches, Oral tradition". Topics are a good candidate for Wikidata inclusion. Runner1928 (talk) 21:38, 21 March 2017 (UTC)
- They also draw on DBPedia for many of their names, so initial matching should not be too difficult, and will unlock alot of our other characteristics of Wikidata for them, once its together. Sadads (talk) 19:52, 22 March 2017 (UTC)
Comment Now a Mix'n'match catalog, 44k topics, ~60% matched via their Wikipedia article match. --Magnus Manske (talk) 11:04, 23 March 2017 (UTC)- Support Strakhov (talk) 21:29, 27 March 2017 (UTC)
- Support. This sounds like a useful property. Make sense to support the partnerships with the Wikipedia Library. YULdigitalpreservation (talk) 14:19, 28 March 2017 (UTC)
