- Abstract (up to 300 words to describe your proposal)
- There are millions of ancient vases preserved until today. Alone for the archaic and classic period of ancient Athens there are between one and two millions of painted black- and red-figure style vases. Each of them are a hand made piece of art, different from every other piece. For the scientists, these vases one of the mayor research subjects. But until today there is no usable electronic database. I would like to present a concept, Wikidata could become the place to place the data. Wikidata would be then not only have millions more usable data, it would be also a center for real research.
- What will attendees take away from this session?
- To think big. To see our projects as more than fun or provinding some usefull informations and answers for a pub quiz. And I hope, I will get a lot of input, ideas and so on.

- Daniel Mietchen (talk) 16:12, 28 March 2017 (UTC) Great topic! Have you looked into using a separate Wikibase instance? Incidentally, one archaeological community has already given that a try: the EAGLE project has catalogued epigraphic records this way, so I would expect them to have an informed opinion on the pros and cons of going for a separate Wikibase instance rather than Wikidata.
- Hi @Daniel Mietchen:, I have a concept, that I would like to present. A general concept. There are causes for integreating into Wikidata - and causes against integrating and for using Wikibase as an own database. This would be a part of my presentation and I hope for input then, what would be a better descission. Marcus Cyron (talk) 13:32, 10 April 2017 (UTC)

- You should also consider whether WD wants millions of vases. I definitely don't want hundreds of millions of vase shards; but millions of important vases are probably ok. @Daniel Mietchen: using a separate Wikibase instance is a relevant idea, but that's a major piece of engineering. There's a recent discussion at https://www.facebook.com/groups/Wikidata.GLAM/permalink/945631678872930/. EAGLE seems to not be doing well, and I hope Laura Hale will share her experience with deploying Wikibase+BlazeGraph for Paralympics --Vladimir Alexiev (talk) 06:12, 30 March 2017 (UTC)
