Commons:Biodiversity Heritage Library/Modeling
This page will be used to document BHL's data modeling for SDC statements. (Statements currently under discussion are marked in yellow, so that approvals can be changed to green and anything we decide against or want to put on hold can be changed to red).
Current data modeling work can also be viewed in the collaborative google doc here.

Won't Map
editThese are fields currently stored in the BHL Database that we have decided will not map to SDC
| BHL Metadata Field | Recommended | Definition | Note |
|---|---|---|---|
| StartIssue | Don't map | This data is NULL from the BHL DB; no need to map | don't map |
| EndIssue | Don't map | This data is NULL from the BHL DB; no need to map | don't map |
| FlickrTags - TagValue | Don't map | Is there a Flickr Tag property in the works? SF -They currently are in the ""description"" field. - Machine tags for species names could be the depict statements. Use depict statement that points to the taxon. Needs to be carefully curated by the community because there is so much different stuff in there. |

| FlickrURL | Don't map | persistent identifier for images on Flickr | Already mapped to source by other image mapping exercises. Data modeling conventions: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Structured_data/Modeling#Upload_from_a_platform_like_Panoramio,_Geograph_or_Flickr https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Structured_data/Modeling/Source |
| StartVolume | Don't map | Volume range for the item | Is this data required, optional, etc; we also have the item ID? Meaningless to publisher, researcher. This was decision by the binder in the library. |
| EndVolume | Don't map | Volume range for the item | example item with range: https://www.biodiversitylibrary.org/item/25495#page/1/mode/1up |
| DateImageAddedToFlickr | Don't map | Do we care? | |
| PublicationStartDate | Don't map | If a series, then this is the date of first publication for a title | Should we map this? Might be confusing for users? Publication range data can also be spotty in the BHL DB SL - Use more granular item or page-level date instead |
| PublicationEndDate | Don't map | ||
| Authors - Role | Don't map | JJ - I think author data should not be held at the image level but rather in Wikidata at the publication level | |
| Authors - FullerForm | Don't map | JJ - I think author data should not be held at the image level but rather in Wikidata | |
| Authors - StartDate | Don't map | JJ - I think author data should not be held at the image level but rather in Wikidata | |
| Authors - EndDate | Don't map | JJ - I think author data should not be held at the image level but rather in Wikidata | |
| FlickrNotes - NoteValue | Don't map | rarely is there data in these fields | |
| FlickrNotes - FlickrAuthorID | Don't map | rarely is there data in these fields | |
| FlickrNotes - FlickrAuthorName | Don't map | rarely is there data in these fields | |
| FlickrNotes - CreationDate | Don't map | rarely is there data in these fields |
Flickr Machine Tags
editWe are currently reviewing user generated Flickr machine tags and will be integrating them in the final schema after a community decision process.
