Property order 2100

CanonBase connects its records with a wide range of external information resources, including Linked Open Data repositories, authority files, specialist reference databases, historical inventories, and scholarly publications. These connections help identify and cross-reference theatres, buildings, people, organisations, and other entities across different sources.

External identifiers provide links between CanonBase entities and corresponding records in other databases, supporting data reconciliation, verification, and interoperability. Authority files and reference databases provide standardised identifiers, while historical publications and inventories offer additional evidence, particularly for theatres and buildings that no longer exist.

Single source properties

This section covers identifiers derived from individual publications, including historical theatre censuses, architectural surveys, statistical inventories, and studies of theatre history and technology. Unlike identifiers maintained by external databases, these values refer to specific entries in published sources.

Depending on the structure of the publication, an identifier may represent a table entry, row number, page number, or a combination of these. These references enable individual CanonBase records to be traced back to their original sources and make historical information easier to verify and compare across publications.

List of properties that handle tracking mentions in a single source is available here: https://canonbase.eu/wiki/Item:Q32564 Mentions property

data character (P34) is an auxiliary property used to specify how an identifier derived from a particular publication should be interpreted. It distinguishes between different types of references within a source, such as page numbers, table entries, or other structural identifiers.

Since historical publications use different systems for organizing and numbering their content, this property helps clarify the meaning of identifiers recorded in CanonBase. It supports accurate source identification, verification, and comparison of historical records.
