Wikidata

Place data (discovery sites, kiln regions and production centres) are integrated into Wikidata using OpenRefine and Quick Statements. The mapping schemes in Open Refine can be seen at ds_schema.json, kr_schema.json and pc_schema.json.

For each category we created a specific identifier in Wikidata Samian Ware Discovery Site, Samian Ware Productioncentre and Samian Ware Kilnregion. All entries are instances (P31) of a category and part of (P361) Samian Research. In Wikidata we used the exact match (P2888) property to link to the Linked Open Samian Ware resource. In the Samian LOD dataset we used our lado:exactMatch property to create a bidirectional link.
