Help: Uncertain information

Forms with Uncertain information section

In Forms+templates Uncertain information is expressed in a"Uncertain information" section.

The "Uncertain information" section contains an invocation of the Template:Subobject Uncertain Information ie from Form:Deployments

== Uncertain information ==

{{{for template|Subobject Uncertain Information|multiple|add button text=Add uncertain information}}}
* '''Field:''' {{{field|Propertyname|input type=dropdown|max values=1|values=City,Country,Managed by,Used by,Involved Entities,Datasets Used|mandatory}}}
* '''Value:''' {{{field|value|input type=text|mandatory}}}
* '''Certainty:''' {{{field|Certainty|default=Rumoured|input type=dropdown|values=Rumoured,Speculative|mandatory}}}
* '''Citekey of source:''' {{{field|Citekey|input type=combobox|values={{#ask:[[-Citation resource::+]]|?Citation key=|mainlabel=-|limit=10000|order by=Citation key}} }}}
* '''Description:''' {{{field|Description}}}
{{{end template}}}

• in the Field: field the "values=" parameter determines the option of uncertain field/property
• the Value: field determines the the value for a given the chosen field
• the Certainty field defines the value of certainty

• the "for template" multi sub-form allows for multiple "Uncertain fields" to be created in a single form page
• the Template:Subobject Uncertain Information creates a SMW subobject with the Category:Uncertain Information
• The contents of **a subobject are not visible in the page which holds it, but can be displayed with a query**, which is done in the Template:Subobject Uncertain Information
  • Note: **A compound query, is used instead of an ask query***, to display the values (via query) of the Uncertain Information subobject, since it uses the Cite extension for citation, hence the query has to be done, both the the suboject and references (read more about querying Cite values in https://github.com/SemanticMediaWiki/SemanticCite/issues/95)

Uses

• Form:Deployments
• Form:Datasets

Examples

• TestDataset

Qualifiers with Record (datatype) Property

Previously qualifiers and other statements about statements were implemented by User:Ruben using Properties with Record type, such as Property:Potentially used by with fields Property:Institution, Property:Information Certainty, Property:Citation reference, Property:Description

Example: [[Potentially used by::TestInstitution;Speculative]]

Deployments Form and Template invokes Template:InstitutionCertainty to create the record.
