Re: [Wikidata] Mapping Wikidata to other ontologies

I would also agree with this. In my opinion P2888 should only be used as a last resort. If possible, it's usually a much better idea to use a specific external-id property for the external database -- it gives us better organisation, it's more obvious on the page, and it's much more efficien

Re: [Wikidata] Is there an "indigenous to" for Plants ?

Hi Andy ! Thanks ! But, yeah both of those are not useful... because they are image based and not DATA based. I need a property that holds location data, so that anyone can build those images and maps. This is WikiDATA. Hmm, location data... so location with a qualifier for "native" or some su

Re: [Wikidata] Is there an "indigenous to" for Plants ?

Species don't care much for administrative borders so until we have the ability to store actual geographical data there is not much to do. Sure, for some islands or lakes it might make sense to tie it to another item but those are special cases for a problem that should be more generally solved. /

Re: [Wikidata] Is there an "indigenous to" for Plants ?

Not sure if either of these would be applicable for your data, but similar to 'Indigenous to ' for there is a property 'Endemic to ' that can be applied to taxon. Or more generally, there is habitat

Re: [Wikidata] Mapping Wikidata to other ontologies

It is indeed used to link entities and not necessarily only those that don't have an external id. External IDs can be problematic if you want to use them in federated SPARQL queries. In theory you would able to compile the IRI from the external ID and the underlying resulver URL, however there are

Re: [Wikidata] Mapping Wikidata to other ontologies

I think probably a distinction can be made in terms of whether your use case involves exporting items into other ontologies, versus importing items from other ontologies into wikidata. You'll have different issues with granularity in either direction and they may not be entirely symmetrical, so you
