Wikipedia:GLAM/Wikidata art terms

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Wikidata art terms for the typical Wikipedian and GLAM contributor: This page sets out to explain the hat/hatmaking/milliner problem which is one of many similarly linked concepts that have caused Wikipedians to get frustrated with Wikidata. The main issue is that it is impossible to "lump" concepts together in the way that Wikipedia articles do. A person cannot be merged into his/her company and an individual cannot be merged into a duo. This issue is often referred to as the "Bonnie and Clyde problem" and is tracked on Phabricator T54564. For GLAMs who want to share their data with Wikidata, it may be helpful to look at the state of things regarding catalog possibilities for works of art. Wherever possible, in the table below the term is followed by the Wikidata item. See also d:Wikidata:WikiProject_Visual_arts/Item_structure#Types_of_visual_artworks
