Background: During 2015-2019 Wikimedia Sweden, Swedish water management authorities and Sweden’s meteorological and hydrological institute (SMHI) have [[W:sv:Wikipedia:Projekt Kustvatten|collaborated]] around facilitating the description of water management, the Water framework directive and ecological status classification on Wikidata and Wikipedia. New Wikidata properties and templates for info-boxes utilizing reported ecological status have been created to facilitate the use of information about ecological status classification in Wikipedia articles about lakes and coastal water.
This submission sets up a workshop to map more countries status classification data to Wikidata as well as evaluating whether new properties are needed to properly describe the data.
Questions we want to raise are
* What are the first steps one has to take to introduce status classification data from a new country to Wikidata?
** Are spatial and geographical data surrounding the classification data readily available?
** Is there any license issues with the data?
** What information is there about the implementation of the water framework directive in other countries?
* What wikidata properties are most suitable to describe the relationship between geographical objects and Water framework directive objects on Wikidata?
** Are new properties needed to properly describe the relationship? Especially where the overlap is only partial.
