Design and digital culture occupations and professions

About

In the NADD Wikidata project, we maintain a curated selection (controlled vocabulary) of names of occupations and professions that are typical for the sector of design and digital culture. Wikidata items for these occupations and professions have the on focus list of Wikimedia project (P5008)NADD occupations (Q133270020) statement.

The Wikidata community has already extensively linked many of these terms with other controlled vocabularies, most notably the Art & Architecture Thesaurus (Q611299). Where these are missing, Art & Architecture Thesaurus ID (P1014) statements are added as much as possible.
