Wikidata:WikiProject Heritage institutions/Typology
Introduction
editThe purpose of this page is to give an overview of the typology of heritage institutions within Wikidata and to provide a space where its further development can be coordinated.
To Do List
editThe following tasks still need to be done (please chime in!):
- Complement the list of existing thesauri in various languages.
- Add missing institution types from relevant thesauri (especially GND and Library of Congress Authorities) to Wikidata (also check out the Getty Arts and Architecture Thesaurus).
- Systematically map existing thesauri in various languages to the institution types in Wikidata; if thesauri contain further institution types, consider adding them to Wikidata by creating an new item.
- Add proper definitions from authoritative sources, in order to be able to make appropriate type hierarchy and delineation decisions, especially because the type granularity varies between sources.
- Eg consider AAT 300312306 philatelic museum defined as "Museums specializing in the history of postage stamps, revenue stamps, stamped envelopes, postmarks, post cards, covers, and similar materials relating to postal or fiscal history". Without such, it's hard to ascertain the relations between postal museum (Q2106220), philatelic museum (Q21550879) and bank museum (Q52987303)
- Complement the list of similar institutions that may be referenced in databases generally containing heritage institutions.
