Review Wikidata property name and meaning [P6138]

update Now the property is named Software Heritage identifier (SWHID) and today the regexp was corrected to all types of SWHIDs by Kat (Thank you Kat!!) Also the documentation link and references to both articles were added:


With the WikiDigi group in 2017/2018 we studied the case of SWHID property and created the https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Property:P6138 the property was only allowing releases. This discussion is summarized and closed on #1298 (closed).

In #2079 (moved) the need to document the links between SWH and Wikidata became evident.

This is a larger discussion we should have on integration with WikiData.

The main questions were:

  1. Should we modify the property to : SWHID release? SWHID?
  2. Should we create a new (additional) property SWHID? including snp, rev, dir and cnt?

When this is resolved we need to update the property documentation with the new contextual parameters and with the correct regexp.
