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.

Talk Notes:
2016: Used Freebase and the Google Knowledge Graph, but went beyond them.
2017: doing more NLP on websites, and usability improvements:
- filtering by source language and domain of interest (defined by SPARQL), property, dataset
- reference preview,
- extracted fact highlighting,
- eliminate page reloads,
- deduplicate data
