Root Classes Used

The SPARQL query targeted three root classes:

  1. Q166118 (archive - general concept)

    • Broad heritage archive taxonomy
    • Results: 1,268 (2.5%)

  2. Q107715 (national archive)

    • Government-level archives
    • Results: 48,732 (97.5%)

  3. Q59879 (film archive)

    • Audiovisual heritage
    • Included in broader taxonomy

Note: The heavy skew toward "national" classification indicates that Wikidata's archive taxonomy is heavily structured under the national archive concept.

SPARQL Query Performance

  • Execution time: ~18 seconds
  • Result count: 50,000 (hit endpoint limit)
  • File size: 27 MB (uncompressed JSON)
  • Timeout issues: None
  • Rate limiting: None encountered

Warning: The 50,000 result limit was reached. This suggests the complete archive taxonomy in Wikidata may contain even more classes. A paginated or filtered approach may be needed for 100% coverage.

Next Steps

Phase 1 Continuation

  • ✅ Complete: H, M, L, A (4/14 classes)
  • ⏳ Next priority: G (GALLERY) - Expected 500-700 terms
  • Remaining: O, R, C, U, B, E, P, S, X (10 classes)

Phase 2 Web Research (Archive-Specific)

Priority regions with limited Wikidata coverage:

  1. Southeast Asia: Thai, Vietnamese, Indonesian archive terminology
  2. Sub-Saharan Africa: Swahili, African archive systems
  3. Indigenous archives: Community-based archiving terms

Data Integration

  • Parse and normalize 5,167 archive classes
  • Build multilingual glossary for GHCID generation
  • Cross-reference with authoritative sources (ICA, SAA, etc.)
