Outcomes of the discussion with @daniel @janzerebecki @lydia_pintscher
@adrianheine and @thiemowmde
First use case: Units are Wikidata Items
AGREEMENT: use URIs, no free-text units for now (Units are represented as URIs
internally (usually URIs of Wikidata items))
AGREEMENT: no new entity-type for units
Example:
item for “meter” (Q11573) with labels (“metre”), etc.. and it has a statement
with a special property “unit symbol” (P558, currently string, should later be
multilingual)
AGREEMENT: put value of “unit symbol” into terms table (handling for special
property should not be tangled to Wikibase too much)
NO AGREEMENT: have separate module for dealing with units VS. have it in
Wikibase -> further discussion needed
Question: link unit-symbol to unit-item?
Via terms table? Via PropertySuggester?
comment by @aude: neither seems very nice, but don’t have another suggestion
right now and perhaps the question isn’t very clear to me.
Question: where to put formatting rules?
first version: one rule per language (format string in message file, e.g. “$1
$2”)
comment by @aude: the messages (i18n) system is well-suited for this (and think
also performance-wise).
Question: How to render units?
e.g. m/s vs. <math>\frac{m}{s}</math>: have a simple version (= Unicode string)
first
AGREEMENT: PropertySuggester needs to be adjusted/extended.
comment by @aude: details please...
Question: Requirements for a new derivation of the entity selector:
should return URIs
selector should be able to deal with non-local sources
