PS. I've just noticed that the same formatter-URL applies also to persons at northdata.com. So may be this property must be extended to persons as well. RShigapov (talk) 12:02, 22 January 2022 (UTC)

PPS. I wrongly proposed this property in the authority control section, but it would be better to have this in organizations and persons. RShigapov (talk) 10:46, 23 January 2022 (UTC)

Discussion

•  Support, an important property for organizations.--Arbnos (talk) 16:39, 21 January 2022 (UTC)
•  Comment The Data-Source is great. But there is no real identifier but just "NAME, CITY, REGISTER NUMBER". So what is the added value for this Property? --Newt713 (talk) 12:19, 24 January 2022 (UTC)

  I wouldn't say there is no real identifier. They designed their identifiers as "NAME + CITY / REGISTER + CODE + NUMBER". The added value of this property (as for any other Wikidata property with the datatype external-ID) is linking the same concepts in different databases or interoperability.
