Modeling a project

This page describes how a project (Q2) can be modelled on this Wikibase instance.

A project could be:

• a formal one officially implemented by an organization (a Wikimedia chapter, a GLAM, or other)
• an informal one implemented by a self-organized group (such as participants in a Wikiproject), or an individual (a volunteer Wikimedian)

The modelling described here is based on how Wikimedia Sverige (Q9) structures their projects. An example of such a project is Wikidata for authority control (Q14). Note the WMSE-specific properties WMSE project ID (P9) and sorted under programmatic area (P10).

Projects and their parts

Current practice for reasoning around project (Q2) and their parts, given using has part(s) (P35):

A project (Q2) is a type of activity (Q8). Thus, any items that are given as their parts, should also be some type of activity (Q8). This excludes other related things like documents published in the scope of the project.

A typical example will be a presentation (Q48), workshop (Q37) or edit-a-thon (Q41) organized within the project.

See for example: ➡️ Gothenburg museums – 2021 images year 2021 (Q21932) has three events as its parts: Q21931, Q21928, Q21924.
