Discussion

Support useful and solid addition for expanding the coverage of ancient epigraphy. I notice that there are several data types available beside the inscriptions themselves, and while the description makes it clear that this property will be solely for them, perhaps a more precise if longer label could be helpful. --Jahl de Vautban (talk) 17:04, 11 January 2025 (UTC)
- I'd be happy to retitle as "Roman Inscriptions of Britain Online Inscription ID", if you feel that is more descriptive.
- And, yes, lots of work in progress in bringing the entire RIB database online in RDF form. Many more identifier types in the pipeline, which will add substanitally to the corpora of attested persons, military units, ancient places, etc. Sarcanon (talk) 17:31, 11 January 2025 (UTC)
- Support, as Jahl de Vautban. If you change the name or definition of the property and need someone to update the German translation, just notify me. --DerMaxdorfer (talk) 19:20, 11 January 2025 (UTC)
- Yes, please, do feel free to add German (or any other) translations. Your kind offer is much appreciated. Sarcanon (talk) 14:33, 13 January 2025 (UTC)
