field of this award

   Not done

Motivation

[edit]

field of work (P101) is a really useful property to describe the domain or the area of specialty of an organization. However, based on its description, it should not be used to state the field of an award. In the absence of the proper property, the domain or subject of an award must defined through subclasses. This can lead to intricate and granular subclass hierarchies, which is not efficient. The simplest method of defining an award's subject or domain is to create a dedicated property, as it was done with field of this occupation (P425).

The proposed property could also prove useful to qualify cyclical awards. Several award programs are cyclical: they bestow the award to a specific discipline or sub-genre every year. For example, the Siminovitch Prize (Q7517844) operates on a three-year cycle and is awarded either to a theatre director, a playwright or a designer. If the proposed property was used as a qualifer, it would be possible to state:
