The Primary Sources Tool: Curating citations for Wikidata statements (Marco Fossati)

views comments

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.

StrepHIT WD project (IEG grant 2016, renewed in 2017) https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:IEG/StrepHit:_Wikidata_Statements_Validation_via_References/Renewal

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
