Life stage edit
Description | Life stage of an animal, plant, or other taxa |
---|---|
Data type | Item |
Domain | item |
Example 1 | Leptobatopsis mesominiata (Q2855459) has image (P18); needs qualifier life stage → adult (Q80994) |
Example 2 | Chaoborus (Q2707905) has image (P18); needs qualifier life stage → larva (Q129270) |
Example 3 | Tortula muralis (Q71869) has image (P18); needs qualifier life stage → sporophyte (Q647173) |
Example 4 | Crocothemis nigrifrons (Q1318898) has characteristic (P1552) aquatic (Q441122) needs qualifier life stage → larva (Q129270) |
Source | phase of life (Q1811014) |
Motivation edit
My primary use case is as qualifiers for images of individuals on commons, i.e. but this may also be used for if there is an item about a particular life stage of an animal, i.e. Chaoborus (Q2707905), which is an image of the larval stage, probably because the larval form is more well known, though in most species the adults form is more well known. Mvolz (talk) 13:14, 21 December 2022 (UTC)
Discussion edit
- @ Mvolz: Can you fix up your examples so they look like Wikidata statements? They should have a subject item and then the value (which is presumably what your current list is of allowed values?) - if you intend this as a qualifier for images or something like that you may need to clarify more how it should be used. See other property proposals for how to do this. ArthurPSmith (talk) 19:42, 21 December 2022 (UTC)
- Gave it an attempt - is this okay? Wasn't sure since it's all qualifiers Mvolz (talk) 10:33, 22 December 2022 (UTC)
- Question Do we have any items that represent life stages of taxa? If so, how would (a) such a modeling of life stages as separate items relate to (b) distinguishing by life stage using qualifiers the images of (and potentially other statements about) full-lifecycle taxon items? Would it be worthwhile to try to settle on either (a) or (b) as a general rule? If (b), then yes, this property would be useful as a qualifier. But I imagine that statements with a lot of properties might eventually get this qualifier (think weight, size, number of feet, prey, vernacular name), so there may be reasons to consider (a). In that case, those images might be linked from the life-stage items, and those items would have to be characterized by a property like this, which would probably not be used as a qualifier.

- @BlaueBlüte: We have a good number of items representing life stages of individual species, e.g. flaxseed (Q911332) , mouse embryo (Q105811019) , chicken embryo (Q70071341) . There are also some that represent life stages for larger taxonomic groups, e.g. tadpole (Q168525) or hatchling (Q2892050) . --Daniel Mietchen (talk) 21:10, 30 January 2023 (UTC)
- @ Mvolz:: Maybe you are refering to biological life cycle (Q513359)? Shouldn't be flaxseed (Q911332) an instance of seed (Q40763)? As a common trait of all seed plant (Q25814)? --Succu (talk) 21:33, 30 January 2023 (UTC)
- The cycle refers to the entire cycle. Each part of the cycle is a different phase. A flaxseed is for sure an instance of seed. But, on any given species, how do you represent what stage the image is of? We often default to showing the adult, but that's not the case for every animal. Some animals are more famous for their larval form than the adult form. - Mvolz (talk) 17:23, 24 January 2024 (UTC)
- Shouldn't your example Chaoborus (Q2707905) refined to Nematocera larva (Q27477239) rather than to larva (Q129270)? --Succu (talk) 22:36, 30 January 2023 (UTC)
- I guess? The purpose is a generalised term for use on species items that don't have a separate item for the larval form. Not every species needs separate items for each life stage. Either would probably be fine. - Mvolz (talk) 17:23, 24 January 2024 (UTC)

ChristianKl ❪✉❫ 12:46, 27 March 2023 (UTC)
- biological phase (P4774) has an "as main value" property constraint, so it cannot be used as a qualifier on statements for properties that represent traits of taxa. I think this is an important use case, and "life stage" is the familiar terminology for this type of metadata. Sylverfysh (talk) 13:26, 27 March 2023 (UTC)
- biological phase (P4774), according to its existing uses, may be a superclass of "life stage". It applies not only to life history (eg: Q14905385) but also to other timescales- the cardiac cycle (eg: Q7663898) and the cell cycle (eg: Q130996) Jenniferhammock (talk) 13:08, 28 March 2023 (UTC)
- @Mvolz:, could you please clarify all the comments above. Otherwise, we have to close as "not done"! Regards, ZI Jony (Talk) 13:48, 24 January 2024 (UTC)
- I've addressed all the comments I could. In example 4 I tried using biological phase instead. I guess we could change the constraint to use it in this manner, but if you look at other ontologies, they are not treated as the same, i.e. https://www.ebi.ac.uk/ols4/ontologies/go/classes/http%253A%252F%252Fpurl.obolibrary.org%252Fobo%252FGO_0044848 and https://www.ebi.ac.uk/ols4/ontologies/fbdv/classes/http%253A%252F%252Fpurl.obolibrary.org%252Fobo%252FFBdv_00007012 are different. Biological phase has superclass biological process, and life stage has superclass developmental stage. The most recent common ancestor is "occurrent". A biological phase is part of being a biological process. Whereas in life phase, the specific biological process in this is development. So a direct subclass relationship isn't quite possible. -Mvolz (talk) 17:23, 24 January 2024 (UTC)

Motivation edit
If you look at Wikipedia's articles describing animals, you can see many of the natural enemies too. Through this, I wanted to describe the animal's natural enemies together. However, there was to "the food they usually eat", but there was no property to "their natural enemy." I think it would be good to add property to natural enemies. Thank you.

- Comment: If not critically evaluated, this property could lead to enormously broad and vague listings: Panonychus ulmi (Q640085) has over 30 predators identified in a single initial survey that looked only at a very small area (South-Central Pennsylvania). Widespread animals low on the food chain, and/or plants, may easily have hundreds if not thousands of identified "natural enemy" species (predators, grazers). For instance krill and other marine plankton is eaten by multitudes of tiny fish, bigger fish, birds, and whales. The number and identity of "natural predators" may vary widely depending on geographical area, as well as type reference: a scientific journal article may list the dozens of exact species that feed on X, while a more general source may just say "X is eaten by fish, mammals, and birds"). And does "natural enemies" include parasites, herbivores, and micropredators that feed on but don't kill the host? And what does "natural" mean anyway? This study identified 46 predator species of Pomacea canaliculata (Q2005098) in areas where it is invasive: should these be excluded as they are presumably "non-natural"? The complexities of biological interactions often don't readily lend themselves to a general database, and this property, if not carefully and clearly defined may just result in a lot of noise and poor quality data that serves little useful purpose. -Animalparty (talk) 21:35, 4 February 2023 (UTC)
- I wasn't aware of such extreme cases. Originally, I thought of the same amount of data as above. I thought raccoon (Q121439) was a pretty good amount of data. (about 9 kind animals, cougar (Q35255), jaguar (Q35694), coyote (Q44299), Mongolian wolf (Q266883), Ursidae (Q11788), wolverine (Q14334), bird of prey (Q48428), American Crocodile (Q207836), American alligator (Q193327)) If it can be too much like Panonychus ulmi (Q640085) We will also have to devise a method of integrating and calling into one.
- and the word 천적 or 天敵 is mainly translated to 'natural enemy'. it's more naturally to call "predators" maybe. I'm sorry made confuse you. Animalsorter (talk) 05:02, 6 February 2023 (UTC)
- Wait When I read the description I could not tell the direction in which the property is meant. Please use the words subject and object in the description to make it more clear. It's also unclear to me why the direction should be cat -> mouse and not the other way around. ChristianKl ❪✉❫ 23:01, 9 February 2023 (UTC)
- Can't we use main food source (P1034) for the query of the creature that is being feed and the above attributes for the creature that is becoming a predetor? For example, house cat (Q146) can use house mouse (Q83310) in main food source (P1034), and house mouse (Q83310) can use house cat (Q146) with that Property. I'm sorry for confusing you with short English. Animalsorter (talk) 11:32, 11 February 2023 (UTC)
- The issue here is that if a user sees the property and doesn't know under how the two animals relate to each other, I don't think "One of the causes of death of this living creatures referred to in this item, which is eaten by that creature." is going to answer the question.

However, not only this animal, but also all species commonly called 'tuna' were grouped together to the tribe. The description was imported from Korean Wikipedia, and I'm sorry if it wasn't accurate. I wanted to show you that if it's hard to fill in all of particular species, you can use it as like example 3. Animalsorter (talk) 14:26, 15 February 2023 (UTC)

anthesis/flowering period start/end edit
Description | time of the year when a plant normally starts flowering |

Example 4 | Mentha pulegium (Q161235)→June 17 (Q2672) |
Wikidata project | WikiProject Plants (Q10823481) |
In case we stick with the data model as proposed, there would have to be a complementary property "anthesis end"/flowering period end", of course (as implemented with work period (start) (P2031)/work period (end) (P2032), start of covered period (P7103)/end of covered period (P7104), start time (P580)/end time (P582), date of birth (P569)/date of death (P570), ...). – The preceding unsigned comment was added by Cartoffel (talk • contribs) at 20:16, 18 February 2024 (UTC).
Motivation edit
The time period when flowering is expected to happen is an essential information when describing a plant species. It is given in countless books, lists and databases. It is often relevant when trying to identify a plant, when trying to work out (potential) ecological interactions, when planning a garden, for bee keeping and what not.

Question Would we have to introduce a new format for specifying such fuzzy time periods? For now, I am leaning towards specifying (several) calendar weeks (this would mean "data type": "item" and creating ~53 new items), but ideally, we would be able to precisely pinpoint the boundaries of a 95 % confidence interval using two points in time that represent the statistical spread of actual measurement values (so: two dates for the start of the time period and two for the end, assuming availability of relevant studies that analyzed enough of samples). See example #3 for my clumsy attempt. (Read: "In 95 % of cases, anthesis begins between June 13 and June 21.")--Cartoffel (talk) 20:33, 18 February 2024 (UTC)
- Comment This surely depends on location, how would you plan to model that? ArthurPSmith (talk) 11:43, 27 February 2024 (UTC)
- In case such precise data is available, I'd probably be largely happy with a valid in place (P3005) condition: e.g. Helleborus niger (Q147834)→January (Q108)
valid in place (P3005)8 (Q99549220) or Helleborus niger (Q147834)→January (Q108) valid in place (P3005)Northern Hemisphere (Q39061). I don't immediately see a lot of cases where that would not be sufficient; do you?--Cartoffel (talk) 13:31, 15 March 2024 (UTC) - I think that would have to be a required qualifier. Even for something as simple as your example, January would be completely wrong for the southern hemisphere. Meanwhile Cherry blossoms seem to have peak periods that vary from January to May (northern hemisphere), and obviously months like September in Australia. Unless I'm missing something here?

Motivation edit
Aspects of the leaf shapes are important identifying feature(s) of many plant species. Leaf shapes reflect essential evolutionary adaptations of the plant to its environment.
There is no good way to encode such essential plant data on Wikidata so far. Using has characteristic (P1552) seems to be the best we can do so far (e.g. Silene nutans (Q157950)has characteristic (P1552)lanceolate leaf (Q25501730)). Without dedicated properties, it would have to hold a lengthy list of pretty varied characteristics such as root shape, tuber formation, leaf vein patterns, leaf margin shape, growth habit, drought tolerance, fruit surface structure, ... Alternatively, with explicit reference to shape, we'd have to do more unwieldy statements like Silene nutans (Q157950)has part(s) (P527)leaf (Q33971)

Motivation edit
Featherbase (Q125117957) is a key resource for information related to feathers. It currently has information about ca. 1900 bird species, organized by taxonomic group and geographic location. They do not provide identifiers per se (other than for their "specimens") but their URL patterns are consistent enough to allow them to be used as such for practical purposes. The formatter URL contains an indicator of the language in which they provide information on the page. Currently, they have pages in English ("en"), French ("fr") and German ("de"), and I suggest to use the English one as the canonical version for the purpose of this Wikidata property. --Daniel Mietchen (talk) 21:37, 23 March 2024 (UTC)

Motivation edit
It is a small official database with some usage on Wikipedia. The IDs can be imported by CAS Registry Number (Q102507). It contains not only physical properties but also information about analytical methods. It links to NIOSH Pocket Guide ID (P1931) and CAMEO Chemicals ID (P11931) which are also maintained by the US government. Matthias M. (talk) 16:15, 24 March 2024 (UTC)
