Wikidata:Property proposal/EKATTE

Originally proposed at Wikidata:Property proposal/Authority control

Motivation

The official BG place register by NSI, including some 5.5k places. There's a zip file with excels, updated regularly. This property can be populated as follows:

• As discussed at bg:Уикипедия:Разговори#ЕКАТТЕ: EKATTE is currently stored in the infoboxes, and BG WP is ready to move them to WD with a bot.
• Should be easy to match fully to WD/Geonames because there's a full place hierarchy; Ontotext and OpenCorporates plan to do that at the end of Mar 2017 as part of a BG Trade Register datathon.

Strictly speaking EKATTE is the settlement code (eg 68134), but the Oblast/Obshtina/Kmetstvo codes (eg SOF46-00) are also in the same dataset. Share your feedback whether it's smart to keep both Settlement and Kmetstvo (community/mayorate) codes in one property. Small settlements don't have their own Kmetstvo but only Settlement code.

• How about EKATTE place ID as the label name? ChristianKl (talk) 21:07, 6 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Sure --Vladimir Alexiev (talk) 19:55, 7 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
• http://www.geonames.org/statistics/bulgaria.html shows that Geonames has complete data about BG Kmetstva (2.589 A.ADM3) and populated places (5.692 P.PPL). I bet that all of these are on WD too (if not, we'll add the missing ones). --Vladimir Alexiev (talk) 20:03, 7 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
• I don't think "community=Kmetstvo, municipality=Obshtina, province=Oblast" is clear. Is the suggestion that all places in the database are in Kmetstvo? ChristianKl (talk) 08:23, 9 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • @ChristianKl: The "equalities" above simply provide translations of these Bulgarian words. There are 5.5k places, but only 2.8k Kmetstvo: the tiniest places don't have a Kmetstvo of their own. Does that answer the question? --Vladimir Alexiev (talk) 10:26, 14 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
•  Oppose - given the examples, the intended usage is not clear. Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 16:08, 19 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Hi @Pigsonthewing:, what is not clear? If you don't like mixing two sorts of numbers in one prop, I can split it to EKATTE and "BG Community code". We got the EKATTE extracted, and all BG settlements matched to Geonames, so we're waiting for this prop. --Vladimir Alexiev (talk) 18:47, 27 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
    • Well, for a start, at least three of the example items have two values each, apparently relating to different concepts. Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 21:31, 27 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
      • @Pigsonthewing: I explicitly asked whether you'd prefer me to split to two props. The two IDs are "id as a place" and "id as a community", but they are from the same source: BG NSI EKATTE --Vladimir Alexiev (talk) 08:50, 22 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
