GlobalFactSync proposal
Description
This is a prototype created for the following grant proposal:
GlobalFactSync . We used DBpedia to compare the values of the
different Infoboxes of 128 Wikipedia versions to Wikidata in order to
help editors make Wikipedia/Wikidata better. The proposal is about
elaborating this website in the following way:
- add references which are cited in Wikipedia
- add links to the Wikipedias/Wikidata, so users can easily edit
- at the moment data a lot of available data from DBpedia and Wikidata is still missing on this website (e.g. geocoordinates)
- if possible, simplify the import into wikidata, e.g. by pre-filled forms
- extensive details are given in the proposal
We (DBpedia) plan to deliver the following things as in-kind contribution (i.e. no covered by the requested amount):
- provide weekly updates for all infoboxes and updates for wikidata in realtime
- we would like to better check correctness of the values in the table
- add more potential values from more official datasources (governments, libraries) to be able to compare more values
- improve the alignment between the infoboxes and wikidata
please, do not be so strict, we coded this prototype in a couple
of hours only
