Please don't try to shoehorn MET departments into collection (P195). That's not how the property is defined here. Please remove them.

Thanks for the info @Multichill (A). I'll update them.

Thank you. I understand the wish to track what departement of a (large) museum is responsible for an object. Maybe maintained by (P126) is a good option for that? Not sure. Would need a broader discussion. Wikidata talk:WikiProject Visual arts is a suitable place to discuss that. Maybe you can start a topic?

Did you discover Wikidata:WikiProject Visual arts/Item structure? It's the best overview we have on how to model artworks. For the example for The Abolitionists in the Park (Q116445658): painting at the Metropolitan Museum of Art (MET, 2022.259):

• location (P276) is missing
• inventory number (P217) is missing (should be added as a statement, adding it as a qualifier to collection is optional)
• attribution text (P8264) is for license information on Commons. Shouldn't be used here at all. Provenance should be added as structured data

I expanded The Abolitionists in the Park (Q116445658): painting at the Metropolitan Museum of Art (MET, 2022.259) a bit based on the source.

Thanks for the link to the Item structure. I've been looking for one here and there around the MET and GLAM pages but wasn't able to discover it. This will be of great help! I'll start a discussion at the talk page regarding the maintained by.

I've imported all the MET paintings some time ago. Last time I did it was based on the API ( https://collectionapi.metmuseum.org/public/collection/v1/objects/875741 for example). I will run that one again. It's a pretty extensive framework that adds all this data.

That's a relief. Please let me know once you're done.

It's running now for a while creating new ones like The Last Civil War Veteran (Q126099913) and updating existing items.

Looks like User:Fuzheado created a bunch of items (like Two Trees (Q116445196)) without inventory number (P217). That is causing duplicate items.

You have the MET data set up in OpenRefine, right? Can you add missing inventory numbers? Quite a few are missing it. Query might need a bit of filtering for weird cases like Johann Balthasar Probst (Q18508222).

Going through the query it looks like User:Fuzheado batch created a lot of very incomplete items like Dog (Q116727308). Not sure what the idea was with these and why not more data (like the inventory numbers) has been added.

Ya, I have the data. I can add them.

That would be nice. Maybe also add the year it entered the collection too like this?

It's running for ~19K items. I'll upload the rest tomorrow.

Most of them are done except a few. They need manual intervention. Other than these, I think you can run your bot to fill in the data.

I also replied at Wikidata_talk:WikiProject_Visual_arts#Collecting_info_about_the_curatorial_departments_in_art_Items: for the MET let's do a pilot with maintained by (P126) so that we no longer have it in collection (P195). Can you do that?
