‎Plataforma Acácia

edit

Originally proposed at Wikidata:Property proposal/Authority control

DescriptionPlataforma Acacia is a Brazilian academic genealogy database that maps advisor–student relationships among researchers based on Lattes data, and it makes sense as a Wikidata identifier because it provides a unique, structured reference for scholarly lineage, complementing existing identifiers by capturing mentorship networks not systematically represented elsewhere.

Motivation

edit

The Acácia Platform is a Brazilian academic genealogy database that maps and visualizes formal relationships of supervision, co-supervision, and postdoctoral mentorship among researchers using large-scale data extracted from the Lattes Platform, representing scholars as nodes and their advisory relationships as edges in a graph structure, thereby enabling the exploration of the lineage and formation networks of scientific knowledge in Brazil , and it makes sense to include it as an identifier in Wikidata because it provides a structured, authoritative, and uniquely linkable representation of academic lineage at scale, complementing existing identifiers by capturing mentor–student relationships that are not systematically covered elsewhere and thus enriching the modeling of scholarly networks, provenance of knowledge, and the historical transmission of research communities.
