More generic name
[edit]I think will be good idea to make this property more generic (located on [[instead of located on lake]), so it could be applied to rivers. --EugeneZelenko (talk) 14:40, 6 March 2013 (UTC) +1. I'll be bold and change labels (add "or river"). Infovarius (talk) 18:15, 3 October 2013 (UTC)
- Done. Name changed. Filceolaire (talk) 23:56, 19 June 2015 (UTC)
Use for islands
[edit]I see that this property is used for islands, but saying that a town borders a lake or that an island is in a lake are two different things, for the latter, I would rather use located in/on physical feature (P706) (see property talk:P706#"in" as well as "on"?). --Zolo (talk) 13:13, 12 December 2013 (UTC)
Use for oceans, sea
[edit]we should include also oceans , seas and parts of it. Oursana (talk) 18:30, 4 April 2015 (UTC)
- It is already used for seas. So I have changed the English description and the French label accordingly. If it's a bad idea, just change it again. I guess this now makes shares border with (P47) of limited use when it'll come to linking items to bodies of water. Thierry Caro (talk) 23:36, 17 September 2015 (UTC)
Dam
[edit]Can we use it for dam (Q12323)? Xaris333 (talk) 03:21, 3 January 2018 (UTC)
Proposal: Limit use to land-based entities
[edit]The property "located in or next to body of water" is fairly unambiguous when used on items for land-based entities, but quite ambiguous when the subject is a body of water itself. For a body of water, the relationships of being "in" or "next to" another body of water are quite different, and should not use the same property, in my opinion. (A body of water being located in another could be expressed by part of (P361). I'm not sure what would be best for bodies of water bordering each other.) Thoughts on this? --Yair rand (talk) 20:16, 2 May 2019 (UTC)
- @Yair rand: Let's list which types of subjects fall into consideration:
- * dams, reservoirs, ponds, weirs, mill races, mills (can be and can be not considered as a part of the river/stream). Some of them can be understood as parts of the river, some of them cann't. However, I would rather not consider artificial structures and artificial reservoirs as part of a watercourse strictu sense.
- * sections of the river/stream (e.g. by administrative division of function), source/spring, outfall/confluence, rapids, waterfalls, lakes, meanders etc. (part of (P361) applicable? Should be preferred?)
- * islands, river arms, oxbow lakes, canals, water tunnels, valley, water meadow, riparian woodland or forest, wetlands, gorges, promontories and peninsulas, rocks
- * ports, harbours, wharves, quays, pontoons, floating subjects, water sports events and devices, water transport lines, events, devices etc.
- * embankments, coastal/bank walls, coastal/bank ways, roads and streets, ramps or footbridges along the watercourse or coast, beaches, cities, villages and buldings along the watercourse or coast etc.
- * flooded/sunk/underwater subjects, features or structures, former subjects on the today's reservoir bottom etc.
- * events as floods, drying out, freezing, ice drift, maintenance or construction works, sports or social events, ecological accidents etc.
- * bridges, ferries, fords, cableways, underwater tunnels etc. across the body of water - crosses (P177) preferred. However, some dams or bridges can have multiple functions at the same time (dam+road, bridge+weir etc.).
- Did I forget something important? Unfortunately, labels have not yet been updated in many languages to the "in/on" variant.
- IMHO "in" the body of water should have different property than "next to" the body of water, but I'm not sure how to set the difference. A side river branch or mill race is "in", other "next to"? In case of ponds, their type (the stream flows through it, or only feeds it through a parallel canal) can be specified by another property. --ŠJů (talk) 03:20, 21 March 2021 (UTC)
Interactive notebook exploring P206
[edit]I've just created a new interactive notebook which maps all items next to a body of water using P206 and P625.
