The Names Archive

edit
  • Source https://nimiarkisto.fi/
  • Status: The Names Archive does not have it's own Wikidata properties yet. There will be two or three item types: Places, (names) and field notes. Only the items for the field notes exist currently. Names would be natural to create as lexemes, as the Names Archive is also a Wikibase. The Names Archive could be linked to Wikidata the other way round as well, with referrals to places stored in Wikidata. This will require that place-items are first created to the Names Archive.

Tasks

edit

List of all lakes in Finland. (It will be useful to make filtered lists)

  • Check that labels exist in Finnish, Swedish, English, and Northern, Inari and Skolt Saami.
    • We should compare the values against National Land Survey's place name data, when we find a good way how.
  • Add municipalities. Remove references to higher level entities (region, country) when more precise ones (municipalities) exist.
  • Write descriptions in all these languages. Description should include at least the municipalities where the lake is situated.

Lake inflows and outflows.

  • Always add the source of information. Also find sources for unsourced statements.
  • Make a mass import of Järviwiki data in collaboration with SYKE.

  • Vesistöaluejaossa suomen vesistöt jakautuvat päävesistöalueisiin (pinta-ala yli 200 km²) ja pieniin rannikkovesistöihin (pinta-ala tätä pienempi). Lisäksi on pienten rannikkovesistöjen väliin jääviä rantakaistoja, joilla voi olla järviä (esim. Littoistenjärvi). Sekä päävesistöillä, pienillä rannikkovesistöillä että näiden välisillä rantakaistoilla on numerot. Vesistöaluejakoa ollaan uusimassa, mutta uusi jako on vasta luonnos.
