Motivation
[edit]The Islamic Scientific Manuscripts Initiative (Q130611357) documents valuable historical scientific works within the Islamic world. Creating a dedicated property for ISMI will enhance the discoverability and interconnectivity of these works with other related data points. This will promote further scholarly research and preserve the rich scientific heritage of the Islamic world. By adding this property, we can provide a standardized way to reference and access these works, making it easier for researchers and historians to find and utilize this information. —Ainty Painty (talk) 17:14, 22 October 2024 (UTC)

- Comment This should be either split into multiple properties (e.g. Islamic Scientific Manuscripts Initiative person ID, Islamic Scientific Manuscripts Initiative text ID) or the property example values need to be modified to be able to be used with a single formatter URL (e.g. person/541762, place/482813 with a formatter URL of https://ismi.mpiwg-berlin.mpg.de/$1). I find the former to be the preferable option as it makes for better property constraints. --Lewis Hulbert (talk) 15:22, 4 November 2024 (UTC)
