It is doable but will be hard to meet deadline. @JeanFred: do we have it on monuments database?

And property for ID is not listed here: https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Template:Cultural_heritage_properties. We need more details what kind of ID is this.

@Yarl it was added to Monuments database per T144772.

I'm looking at three of Georgia's World Heritage sites and I can't find a common national ID for those:
https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q19044
https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q180810
https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q679979

what kind of details can help, @Yarl ?

World Heritage Sites in Wikidata are usually separate instance from national monuments due to scope.

I have the source data for all of the Georgian monuments. WMSE can take it on ourselves to migrate these. (With translation assistance of the Georgian team)

The Georgian team is ready.

Hi Yarl. I just saw your post in Facebook and so I want to send a link to an official government source to which we refer. This is the site of National agency for cultural heritage preservation of Georgia.

Link: https://www.heritagesites.ge/en
And monuments list: https://www.heritagesites.ge/uploads/files/596e1891dcd14.pdf — Here the monument ID corresponds to its number.

Best regards!

There are also additional sources to which we refer

Ministry of Culture of Georgia

2. Orders: http://culture.gov.ge/ContentMenu/CulturalHeritage/Orders.aspx

Hi @Mehman97
Depending on if we are importing the data from the Wikipedia lists or directly from the official government source the license of the official source becomes an issue. If it is not CC0 or Public Domain then importing it (or at least all of it) into Wikidata would likely not be ok. In addition to your pdf above I also have access to an excel file from 2016-08-15 which may contain some additional information (assuming numbers haven't changed).

Note that there is nothing stopping us from first importing the data from Wikipedia and then later doing a second pass with the official data (adding sourced wherever they are the same), or indeed from doing it the other way around.

Whichever source we choose the first step is to suggest a new property for the monument id (რეესტრის #) on Wikidata. I put up a base at :d:Wikidata:Property_proposal/Georgian_National_Register_of_Monuments_ID. Please correct any mistakes I might have done and add a translation in Georgian for the title and the description.

The second step would be creating items for the heritage designation. If I remember correctly the two categories are "Monument of National Importance" (~400) or "Monument" (~7000), is that correct? Is the first of these a subset of the second?

Based on T144772: Add Georgia to Monuments database I'm also pinging in @David1010, @Beqabai and @BRUTE

The first category of monuments might be the same as ეროვნული მნიშვნელობის კატეგორიის კულტურის უძრავი ძეგლების სია (Immovable Cultural Monuments of National Significance of Georgia)?

Hi @Lokal_Profil

Unfortunately, our government websites do not use a free license. As for the monuments, you are right, we have all the listed monuments under protection, but some have the status of national importance.

Also I added the translation.
Thanks for the help

Best regards ;)

Thanks for the translations.

I've created Q34480001 for the "Monuments" type and Q34480057 for the "Monuments of national importance" type. Could you please give them the correct Georgian (and English) names?

Then I would recommend we do a migration of the data that is currently available in your lists on Wikipedia.

@Lokal_Profil

Done. I translated and edited a little.

Done.

I've updated the mappings at :d:Wikidata:WikiProject_WLM/Mapping_tables/ge_(ka). In the second table some of the entries have questions in the comment field. if you could try to answer them then we are ready for when the property is created.

I tried to answer the questions as accurately as possible.

In https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:WikiProject_WLM/Mapping_tables/ge_(ka)/types there's a list of all the distinct values of the 'type' field in order of number of occurences. It would be beneficial to fill out the most common ones at least.

• A clarification on the address field. This is the citty or village that the monument is in but can sometimes also be a full street adress? (note to self then it would be a combination of P276 and P969 depending on the target value,)

For the "type" field Alicia put together the list of most important types to match. On the talk page I put together a "if the word is an article on ka.wikipedia then this is the corresponding Wikidata item". It should hopefully simplify things by allowing copy-pasting but still needs someone who speaks the language to make sure the result is actually suitable for "type".

Is there a fall-back type which we can use for the monuments that dont have a type or where the type is not mapped? I can see that they are not all buildings but are they all e.g. constructions or something similar?

Is there a way to make a quick guess as to whether the value is a street address or not? For example, if it includes a number?

And so I'll start with the fact that some monuments have a complete address with the name of the street and the number of object. If it is specified and there is a full address, then you can specify.
As for the types, here basically some types are available, such as church, dwelling house, mosque, castle, etc.
I am going to gather all the necessary types here (https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:WikiProject_WLM/Mapping_tables/ge_(ka)/types) and leave those that are superfluous, if there are no problems, I want to start.

For an example please take a look at this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_monuments_in_Rustavi

Thanks for starting the mapping. Hopefully the second list on the talk page should allow you to just copy-paste the right value in. You don't need to fill in the Notes field with "based on" this was mostly so that you could see where my guess came from =)

Should any type which contains the word "ეროვნული" be a Cultural Monuments of National Importance of Georgia or onlythose of the form "<something>, ეროვნული" ?

A tip for more easily editing the table is to activate Visual editor. On Wikidata you do this by going to the "Beta" link (next to your settings), ticking visual editor then clicking save.

Thanks for the advice!

As for the notation "ეროვნული", this indicates that this object is a monument of National Importance of Georgia.

best regards :)

Hi @Mehman97 uploading the data to Wikidata is now almost ready. d:Wikidata:WikiProject_WLM/Mapping_tables/ge_(ka)/types still contains some fairly common terms which would benefit from being mapped to Wikidata though. The talk page has some suggested mappings but having a native speaker doing the mapping will go along way to avoid importing erroneous information.

Would you mind mapping the most frequently used ones (e.g. 25+ used ones)?

Sorry for being unclear. Don't remove any of them but for the ones that are most frequently used please add the matching Wikidata item in the Item(s) column.
