work in progress, but we should be able to match a lot based on viaf. Multichill (talk) 10:30, 25 June 2018 (UTC)

Currently 404s, will be retired and redirected, download available

The British Library who ran this have stated that they plan to participate in Share VDE, and will use that service to replace BNB.

BNB links currently result in a 404 page with a promise to redirect these soon to svde.org (I'm assuming this is Q111676881 if there is a difference with Q96776982).

Apparently the 404s began on 2022-03-31 and, at least for now, they are making the data available from their Downloads page. (I'm curious if a similar transition will affect properties SHARE Catalogue author ID and SHARE Catalogue work ID which both are currently down as well [now online], but that may be unrelated.)

Linked Open BNB webpage, second paragraph now: "This service closed on 31st March 2022. British National Bibliography numbers will be redirected to the new service when it becomes available." --P64 (talk) 18:29, 2 May 2022 (UTC)

It's really rubbish, librarys are meant to be about making information more available, every page should have seemless-link the equivlent page on Share-VDE, but like others moving to share-vde, it's seems to be a "dump and run" Back ache (talk) 13:05, 7 November 2022 (UTC)

@Chchowmein, Back ache: Still offline, what shall we do?--U. M. Owen (talk) 10:42, 3 June 2023 (UTC)

If we had the time and energy, we could write something ourselves to connect the two (if you fancy clearing up someone else's mess :-) ) lets have a think about it.

Back ache (talk) 07:52, 4 June 2023 (UTC)

They published a blogpost about the transition the day before yesterday.

Previously the BNB looked like:

William Shakespeare (Q692) → ShakespeareWilliam1564-1616 (bnb.data.bl.uk)

Now the BNB looks like:

William Shakespeare (Q692) → william-shakespeare-a571681312170928 (bl.natbib-lod.org)

However, the new format is using The Share Family National Bibliographies Portal, which looks like:

William Shakespeare (Q692) → william-shakespeare-a571681312170928 (natbib-lod.org)

It should probably be noted that while the National Bibliographies Portal is powered by Share VDE Version 2 (Q111676881), the results at svde.org use different IDs (in case we were to create an SVDE2 property to replace SVDE1 (P6329)). SVDE2 looks like:

William Shakespeare (Q692) → william-shakespeare-a901654263881103 (svde.org)

I'm not sure that we should create properties for both NatBib (eg: william-shakespeare-a571681312170928) and SVDE2 (eg: william-shakespeare-a901654263881103). Maybe we can get a comment from someone involved as to why the IDs differ or which portal is meant to be more authoritative/lasting. Chchowmein (talk) 07:28, 16 July 2023 (UTC)

If BNB will be based on SVDE2, I think we will only need the property for SVDE2; having also a property for BNB, with the same values, would only duplicate the maintenance work, with no significant benefit IMHO. However, before creating a property for SVDE2 I think we have to wait that it becomes stable; https://www.svde.org/ is still "beta" as of now, so the IDs will probably continue changing until the project is stabilized. --Epìdosis 21:32, 16 July 2023 (UTC)

@Chchowmein, P64, Back ache, U. M. Owen, Epìdosis: I do not know if svde.org is stable or not but, so far, natbib-lod.org is definitely unstable at least as compared to above (of course this might mean they have finally stabilized too), I now find these values:

William Shakespeare (Q692) → 901654263881103 (svde.org) and 491704982331265 (natbib-lod.org and bl.natbib-lod.org)

Notice the value for natbib-lod.org seems to have changed—again! Also notice I am linking via agents/value without the leading "a" as this is inline with how the link is exported via their "More options"→"Copy URI for this page" directions which incidentally yields the exact same value on natbib-lod.org and bl.natbib-lod.org (both link to natbib-lod.org/agents/value). Besides "a"-prefixed "agents" they seem to also have separate "o" and "p" identifiers for "opuses" and "publications". If they stabilize they might be good candidates for Wikidata properties (e.g., to replace BNB person ID (P5361), etc.). —Uzume (talk) 15:31, 4 October 2024 (UTC)

If they stabilise, I perfectly agree! Thanks for the update, Epìdosis 17:37, 4 October 2024 (UTC)
