Wikibase is an extremely flexible software. We can create practically any form of statements on any sort of objects. There are, actually, no "sorts" of objects, just objects of knowledge under Q-Numbers (called "items"). They win qualities through the various statements we make on them — they state "properties" of the objects through P-numbers.
The open and versatile arrangements allows us to set "labels" and "descriptions" in various languages on both our Q-numbers of items and our P-numbers of properties.
While we can create any statement for any item we should accumulate statements in a wider system so that searches get conclusive answers for the whole field of items we are handling — like our several thousands of lodges. This page is there to collect wider agreements on how we make certain statements in the complex sphere of Freemasonry.
Lodges
Basic Data
- "Instance of" Property:P2 to state "Lodge (Freemasonry)" Item:Q11211 or "Minerval Church (Illuminati)" Item:Q11213
- "Place of home address" Property:P83 to refer to the respective town or city
- "Address" Property:P208 to state a specific real estate where meetings took place
- "Begin date" Property:P49
- "End date" Property:P50
- use "history" Property:P50 + "active phase" Item:Q94446 and qualifiers "begin" Property:P49 and Property:P50 if you want to mark stretches of activity and inactivity. See Item:Q10575
Integration
- "Degrees worked" Property:P361 to state "St John's Masonry" Item:Q99800 or "Scottish Freemasonry" Item:Q99749
- "Next higher hierarchy level" Property:P428 to state for instance the "Prefecture Liguria (Illuminati)" Item:Q11165 in the case of Gotha's Minerval Church Item:Q10601
- "System adhered to" Property:P521 in order to state the respective ritual system the lodge adopted see our
- FactGrid's list of masonic systems (can be expanded any time)
- "Mother Lodge" Property:P336 to state the Lodge that founded a particular Lodge
- "Daughter Lodges" Property:P335 can be stated but are redundant if you already mention the mother lodge on the daughter's item.
- "Patent granted by Property:P332 to state the Lodge that granted the patent
- add qualifier "date" Property:P106 to state the date the patent was granted
- add "primary source" to name the Item of the document
- "Grand Lodge affiliation" Property:P430 to state the Grand Lodge a particular lodge has chosen as the roof organisation
- "Member of" Property:P91 to state organsiational memberships
Members
Statements on the member's side
- "Member of" Property:P91 — state "Freemsonry" Item:Q10678 to keep all known Freemasons together and state individual lodges in ensuing P91 membership statements. The following qualifiers can be used to be more specific:
- "Begin date" Property:P49 to state the entry date
- "End date" Property:P50 to state the termination of a membership
- "Status of affiliation" Property:P277 if this is critical information as in the case of the "Illuminati" Item:Q81288 where we we took "signed the Revers" as the entry point.
- "Where did this happen?" Property:P47 to state where the entry took place
- "Proposed by" Property:P269 to state the person who proposed the membership
- "Received by" Property:P503 to state the person who mentored the membership process
- "Proposed to become a member of" Property:P454 to state the beginning of an affiliation-process that remained without consequence. We have collected these statements for a larger number of people who were proposed to become Illuminati though we know they never did or though we do not know whether they actually did enter the Order.
- Use the qualifiers listed under membership to be more specific.
Statements on the lodge's side
It is possible to state members on the lodge item with Property:P293, but not recommendable since some organisations will have thousands of members, and since it will also be hard work to make sure that we have the same information on the person's side and on the lodge's side. Give the membership information preferably in the item of the particular member.
Use:
- "In leading positions" Property:P14 to state higher functionaries. Specify roles with the following qualifiers:
- "Specific position Property:P166 to state the specific role like "worshipful master", "secretary" etc.
- "Begin date" Property:P49 to state the date when the person came into this position
- "End date" Property:P50 to state when the office terminated
- "Documented list of members" Property:P327 to state documents and publications that offer lists of members
- "FactGrid list of members" Property:P320 to set the link of a FactGrid search that creates a list of members
