Motivation edit

museum-digital (https://www.museum-digital.de/) is a increasingly popular platform for museums to document and present their collections. There are currently more than 680k objects from 900 museums in 6k collections distributed over several distinct (regional or thematic) instances. Most named entities are controlled by means of a series of vocabularies. One of them, covering place names, is referred to by museum-digital-Ort-ID (P9957); another property proposal (Wikidata:Property proposal/museum-digital tag ID) currently under review/ready for creation regard keywords. MD person ID provides a curated list of names of people and institutions used in the descriptions of objects on Museum-Digital. Names are continuously reconciled with other relevant authority files. Many names are highly domain-specific, so that the museum-digital person ID is the only authority file to cover these. This would make this property especially useful.
