Property talk:Has host type

From WikiApiary, monitoring the MediaWiki universe

There's a handful which I'm not sure how to categorize currently. We need to either add new types, shove them into an existing category, or rename existing categories to fit them better.

Organizations

Research

Hospitals

Museum

University could be expanded to Academic, which lets it encompass research institutions, and more cleanly include colleges/other educational things, Hospitals could be split to commercial and government depending on whether they're private, but I'm really not sure how to deal with the Genealogical Society of Utah and the church one without including something overly specific or too general. @thingles @kghbln ideas, thoughts? --ete (talk) 18:26, 12 July 2014 (UTC)

We should probably avoid putting overlapping property values in here. I guess this is not so easy. Currently "Organization/Institution" and "Research/Education" come to my mind to classify all of the above mentioned hosts. How would this fit into the existing scheme? Frankly I have not had the striking idea so far. --[[kgh]] (talk) 08:44, 16 July 2014 (UTC)
It is a tricky classification scheme to get right.. and yea, overlap is best avoided. Currently I'm kinda liking the idea of Academic (covering unis and research institutions) and NGO (covering misc organizations). --ete (talk) 12:27, 16 July 2014 (UTC)
