Motivation
[edit]Many research projects contribute substantially to Wikidata. They might even use Wikidata as their main database, e.g. the research project "Places of Gestapo terror in present-day Lower Saxony" (Q107008182). At this moment, research projects have no proper way of displaying items which they have created or to which they have contributed. Neither can they cannot isolate items important for their research via a simple query.
As a workaround, "Places of Gestapo terror" uses the property "collection" (P195) pointing to the item "Places of Gestapo terror in present-day Lower Saxony (test version)" (Q106571749), which is an instance of a "collection | version, edition or translation". In our view, this is not a satisfying solution.
A similar property (P131) already exists in FactGrid (https://database.factgrid.de/wiki/Property:P131), demonstrating the utility of such an identifier for collaborative research.
