Web Gallery of Art Work id
[edit]Originally proposed at Wikidata:Property proposal/Authority control
| Description | id of an artwork on the Web Gallery of Art website |
|---|---|
| Data type | External identifier |
| Example 1 | The Virgin of Mercy of the Cadard Family (Q2252360): c/charonto/v_merc |
Motivation
[edit]Might not be the best quality reference, but we already have Web Gallery of Art artist ID (P1882). Currently, a lot of Web Gallery of Art links are provided using described at URL (P973). A dedicated property would be more readable (and would look nicer on Commons file descriptions).

Discussion
[edit]
Support I agree the quality is minimal but it's quite an old website and probably still quite well used by various external websites. I think it may be useful to index it with a property if someone is willing to do the work. Jane023 (talk) 14:44, 23 May 2023 (UTC)
Support Indeed not an institutional authority, but a rigorous source and de facto large database with a significant reference on the web and hundreds uses in wikidata.Shonagon 19:43, 23 May 2023(UTC)
Support per Jane023 and Shonagon. Thanks for proposing! As for labels I think this property should be labelled something like "Web Gallery of Art work ID" and Web Gallery of Art artist ID (P1882) should be re-labelled to something like "Web Gallery of Art artist ID". --Marsupium (talk) 20:30, 23 May 2023 (UTC)
Support with Marsupium's changes. - PKM (talk) 23:50, 23 May 2023 (UTC)
Question @Zolo: Take a look at https://www.wga.hu/frames-e.html?/html/c/charonto/v_mercy.html. The first 4 are different levels of detail of the same painting: https://www.wga.hu/html/c/charonto/coronati.html is the overall view, and https://www.wga.hu/html/c/charonto/coronatx.html, https://www.wga.hu/html/c/charonto/coronaty.html etc are details. So is it going to be a multivalued property, and what qualifier to use to capture "this is a detail view"? --Vladimir Alexiev (talk) 08:27, 29 May 2023 (UTC)
