Wikidata:Property proposal/software version

software version edit

Originally proposed at Wikidata:Property proposal/Creative work

Not done

Description	the object item is version (current or past) of the software Versienummer van de software (nl) – (Please translate this into English.)
Represents	software versioning (Q10859422)
Data type	Item
Domain	software (Q7397)
Allowed values	software versioning (Q10859422)
Example	Microsoft Windows (Q1406)software versionWindows 10 (Q18168774)object has role (P3831)major version Windows 10 (Q18168774)software versionWindows 10 Version 1511 (Q22686609)object has role (P3831)minor version
See also	software version identifier (P348)

Motivation

This property is equal to software version identifier (P348) but for software versions that have an own Wikidata item. It doesn't distinguish between major versions, minor versions, builds, patches... I don't know if the best approach is to add the qualifier object has role (P3831) as shown in the example or to create additional properties like "major version", "minor version", "build"...

Discussion

Comment This would be the true inverse of Wikidata:Property proposal/software version of. I think that proposal is the better one here; on the principle of not having so many inverse properties, I think it would be preferable to have just that one rather than this proposal.

@ArthurPSmith: Yes, this is the true inverse. Only this property and "software version of" are inverses. Do you think we should change software version identifier (P348) datatype to item? Because otherwise we could have both this property and software version identifier (P348) as we have author (P50) and author name string (P2093). However, I created a RFC about how to manage software versions. Maybe you could help me to solve the problem.--Malore (talk) 21:12, 21 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@David: This has nothing to do with Wikidata:Property proposal/version. It is simply software version identifier (P348) but with an item datatype.--Malore (talk) 01:04, 29 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose How about using statement is subject of (P805) qualifier? e.g.

@Wdpp: It can be done but it doesn't solve this problem.--Malore (talk) 00:04, 8 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

marking as Not done, it looks like the other direction is more popular − Pintoch (talk) 12:16, 31 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
