Uniform URL for items in the database and returned items from SPARQL queries

[AurelaShehu]

In a meeting with TS4NFDI the suggestion came to make links to the database item appear in the same format as returned from SPARQL Query (or the other way around).

Consider for example Hill-type two-muscle-one-tendon model which can be accessed under https://portal.mardi4nfdi.de/wiki/Item:Q6775643.

The same format Item:Q6775643 is linked next to MaRDI QID in the corresponding rendering page https://portal.mardi4nfdi.de/wiki/Hill-type_two-muscle-one-tendon_model

On the other hand the SPARQL query returns results in the format entity/QID, e.g. https://portal.mardi4nfdi.de/entity/Q6675415

Could we choose one of the formats and use it consistently?

One could either redirect e.g. https://portal.mardi4nfdi.de/wiki/Item:Q6675415 to https://portal.mardi4nfdi.de/entity/Q6675415 (I think at the moment the opposite is happening)
or return SPARQL results in the https://portal.mardi4nfdi.de/wiki/Item:QID format (if possible)

Thanks in advance,
Björn and Aurela

Hi, I am a bit confused as to the links (for example, there is a link twice to bacterial growth where I am not sure if it should be there) and how exactly you want what to be shown where. Could you maybe attach screenshots and then tell me what you would like to see instead?

[AurelaShehu]

Sorry for the confusion.
What we mean is whether it is possible to have overall one format for the database links.
either
https://portal.mardi4nfdi.de/wiki/Item:QXXXXXX
or
https://portal.mardi4nfdi.de/wiki/entity/QXXXXXX

Hope this clarifies it.

I am still a bit confused as to why this is necessary. If SPARQL returns a link like this https://portal.mardi4nfdi.de/entity/Q6675415 and you click on it, you automatically get redirected to https://portal.mardi4nfdi.de/wiki/Item:Q6675415. Neither of these urls is therefore wrong. In which use case did a problem with this occur?

[AurelaShehu]

My guess is that the https://portal.mardi4nfdi.de/wiki/Item:Q6675415 creates confusion for TS4NFDI (and others) who want to access the data programmatically. For data access they have to enter the correct format https://portal.mardi4nfdi.de/entity/Q6675415.
Nothing is wrong with the two formats of the URLs.
It is a matter of convenience for external users.

Does that makes sense?

@bjschembera do you recall differently from our session with Roman?

@AurelaShehu not sure any more about the problem they had, we should ask TS4NFDI
