  Notified participants of WikiProject Ancient Greece Related properties: Pinakes author ID (P6831), Pinakes copyist or possessor ID (P8096), Diktyon ID (P12042)

The four properties proposed are a follow-up proposal to the Diktyon ID and a step towards importing data about >70,000 Greek manuscripts into Wikidata. The Pinakes database is the principal resource for Greek manuscripts which are identified by distinct, non-significant numeric IDs (= Diktyon ID (P12042)) on the one hand and, on the other, by their shelf number. As shelf numbers are non-unique, these are also identified in a 4-tiered way: By country, city, institution (archive (Q166118), library (Q7075)) and archival fonds (fonds (Q3052382)). The latter is especially significant for larger institutions which have many different fonds; for others, "fonds principal" is a generic term describing the fonds of Greek manuscripts of that institution. All countries and cities are already present in Wikidata, as most of the libraries, whilst archival fonds all need to be created with very few exceptions.

After creating and populating completely these properties, we could go about the next step of importing information on the manuscripts from the Pinakes database into Wikidata. --Epìdosis 19:09, 28 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

•   OK - Go! -- Marcus Cyron (talk) 12:03, 29 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
•   Support, looks good to me. DerHexer (talk) 15:28, 2 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
•   OK but @Epìdosis: I'm confused about what you plan to do with unspecific fonds. Do you plan on creating an item for them? Also, for all the properties, do you plan to set up an MnM ? --Jahl de Vautban (talk) 16:16, 3 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  @Jahl de Vautban: yes, I plan to create an item also for fonds principal and such, because in principle each manuscript has to be assigned both to an institution and an archival fond (as in Pinakes data model). For the above properties, I plan to create Mix'n'match catalogues this week or the next. --Epìdosis 20:54, 3 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
