WikiCite 2017 was a 3-day conference, summit and hack
day hosted in Vienna, Austria, on May 23-25, 2017. It expands efforts
started with WikiCite
2016 to design a central bibliographic repository, as well as tools and
strategies to improve information quality and verifiability in Wikimedia
projects. Its goal is to bring together Wikimedia contributors, data modelers,
information and library science experts, software engineers, designers and
academic researchers who have experience working with Wikipedia's citations and
bibliographic data.
Adding and consuming citation corpora to Wikidata (Andra Waagmeester)
Andra is:
Collaboration: Scripps Institute, UBC, U Maryland (NIH Grant)
System engineer and bio-curators working hand in hand.
A bunch of bots (managed as Jenkins tasks) to build and integrate gene data (User:ProteinBoxBot)
Apps outside of WD:
Defined workflow (gameplan) on the example of Wikipathways (Reactome data modeled in WD)
Comprehensive data model for describing pathways (path interactions)
- cites, described in, stated in, disputed in
Developed citation tools:
- SourceMD
- PMIDTool
Both of these should be improved to disambiguate authors. They don't add affiliations (so presumably use the Author Names prop, not Author).
Citation corpora (you can get them using SPARQL queries listed on the SPARQL examples page)
- CIVIC citation corpus
- Biological Pathways citation corpus
- Suriname citation corpus (to find citations by domain experts)
Future tasks: left for lightning talk
- ShEx shapes for citation data
