Disambiguation between statue and sculptural group

General talk Tagging general discussion

Is this an RFC? Where is the proposal page? There are 0 artwork_type=sculptural_group; while 8 artwork_type=sculpture_group and 1 site=sculpture_group, as well as 6 mentions in one description=. OpenStreetMap Taginfo
The noun form is used in group of statues - Wikidata , as embedded in your linked Category:Sculptural groups - Wikimedia Commons adjective.
As shown above, a well=organized solution can’t be worked out until art groups, art pieces, and art parts relative to points or areas and =site or =cluster are defined comprehensively. In example 3, can someone add each individual statue inside separately? It may be that =artwork should not be used for both pieces / joined groups and disjoint connected groups in that case. If you take wiki literally, “piece” is used. By this logic, it may only be appropriate for joined groups, but not disjoint connected groups. Indeed the site=sculpture_group has 2 artwork_type=sculpture . Relation: ‪NYPL library lions‬ (‪11520253‬) | OpenStreetMap

Other (conforming) options:

  • =sculpture + sculpture= : There are 704 statue=, and only 102 sculpture_type=. The useless *_type= suffix doesn’t need to be promoted. OpenStreetMap Taginfo
  • Wikidata synonyms (“sculpture group” still doesn’t show they are statues)
    • =statue_group
    • =statue_set
