Changing P31:Q17518870 from works to series #781

Open HarmoniaAmanda opened 1 day ago

HarmoniaAmanda commented 1 day ago

For now the items with P31:Q17518870 show up as works on inventaire, but they are series of works, grouped by a specific criteria (like "canonical" or "non-canonical" works, etc.)

They would be better integrated if considered as series, like most other external databases

The problem here is that those groups of literary works are often edited together, which tends to bring them closer to the "work" box. See for instance https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q2398964 which in Inventaire typing system could be considered both a work and a serie. Consequently, we already have a bunch of editions linking directly to those groups of literary works: if we were to change Q17518870 to the serie type, those editions would need to link to new work entities.

This distinction between series and works has been an issue for a while now, see #271

The thing is, looking at that list, I mostly find errors? Like one edition is listed as being an edition of the Eddas, while it's a specific work about the Eddas and including some translations, but it should not be directly an edition of the Eddas.

I don't speak German so I may be missing something about the specific Qid listed above but I see no reason for this item to have this P31. Its form should be (and already is! I didn't have to add it!) "compilation".

the SPARQL query gives only 80 results, which is a few hours of work to clean, but for now every random result I opened was obviously a mistake…
