I have a collection of old scanned advertisements I want to move to SMW. I'm trying to decide if the metadata (aka properties, like company, brand, year, etc.) should go with the images themselves, or if I should create a page in the main namespace that has the same name as the ad, and one of its properties is the related file. My first pass was image-based, but now I'm leaning toward the latter approach, since it feels like the MW way of doing things. Most sites (like Wikimedia's Commons) use categories heavily, but I prefer the SMW properties approach. Obviously, properties can go on either page type, but I'm open to what others think, and perhaps someone can point me to an SMW-based image archive with similar objectives. Thanks, Tac |
