Minimum temperature edit

Originally proposed at Wikidata:Property proposal/Natural science

Done: minimum viable temperature (P3251) (Talk and documentation)

Description	The minimum temperature is the lowest operating temperature where the culturing of micro-organisms and/or enzyme activity occurs.
Data type	Quantity
Domain	instances of organisms, enzymatic processes and processes in general such as refrigerators, computers, engines and other machinery
Allowed units	the same as temperature (P2076), that is, degree Celsius (Q25267)
Example	Pseudomonas putida KT2440 (Q21079489) → 5
Planned use	Adding minimum temperature values for micro-organisms to be able to distinguish between various temperature groups such as Hyperthermophile hyperthermophile (Q1784119), Mesophile mesophile (Q669652), Psychrophile psychrophile (Q913343), Thermophile thermophile (Q834023)
Robot and gadget jobs	Initially planned to be added manually but finally importing this information from scientific databases such as DSMZ

Motivation

Organisms have different temperature ranges in which they thrive. Some can survive in artic conditions, other don't. As mentioned above microorganisms can be identified based on a minimum, optimum and maximum temperature The property "minimum temperature" would allow storing the temperature in which an organism in general survives. Together with the properties optimum temperature and maximum temperature it is then possible to describe the environmental temperature range for a given organism. --jjkoehorst (talk) 14:37, 6 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Discussion

I Support this and the related proposals but I think the name is too generic (I was expecting it to be about the minimum temperature of a geographic region before I read the description). Maybe "minimum/maximum viable temperature" is better? Or "organism minimum temperature"? Something like that? ArthurPSmith (talk) 19:10, 6 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Support but not under this name, exactly per ArthurPSmith. Thryduulf (talk) 21:03, 6 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Support and as indicated by the other comments I welcome an exploration of alternative. Is there a Wikidata mechanism for ranges, like [min,max]? Then you could use a property "viable temperature range". --Egon Willighagen (talk) 11:49, 11 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
- AFAIK a property that takes more than one value would require very low level changes to the database structure. Thryduulf (talk) 21:09, 11 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@ArthurPSmith:, @Thryduulf:, @Egon Willighagen:, I have seen "minimum/maximum viable temperature" or "organism minimum temperature" by ArthurPSmith and I think these are viable suggestions. A range would be great but if this would require low level changes I don't think it is viable at the current time. I am planning to use this property for organism information but I think it could be useful to other usages beside microorganisms as well. However, if a preference is for separate temperature properties than I am happy to use "organism minimum temperature" or something similar. What do you think? --jjkoehorst (talk) 08:09, 15 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
- Of the suggestions so far, I think "maximum/minimum viable temperature" is my preferred label. Thryduulf (talk) 10:13, 15 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@Jjkoehorst, ArthurPSmith, Thryduulf, Egon Willighagen, Andrawaag, A2569875: Done Now minimum viable temperature (P3251) as "minimum viable temperature". Maximum temperature proposal below treated likewise. Lymantria (talk) 17:03, 3 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Maximum temperature edit

Originally proposed at Wikidata:Property proposal/Natural science

Done: maximum viable temperature (P3252) (Talk and documentation)

Description	The maximum temperature is the highest operating temperature where the culturing of micro-organisms and/or enzyme activity occurs.
Data type	Quantity
Domain	instances of organisms, enzymatic processes and processes in general such as refrigerators, computers, engines and other machinery
Allowed units	the same as temperature (P2076), that is, degree Celsius (Q25267)
