Hello all,

Over the last few years, more and more research teams all around the 
world have started to use Wikidata. Wikidata is becoming a fundamental 
resource [1]. That is also true for research at Google. One advantage of 
using Wikidata as a research resource is that it is available to 
everyone. Results can be reproduced and validated externally. Yay!


I had used my 20% time to support such teams. The requests became more 
frequent, and now I am moving to a new role in Google Research, akin to 
a Wikimedian in Residence [2]: my role is to promote understanding of 
the Wikimedia projects within Google, work with Googlers to share more 
resources with the Wikimedia communities, and to facilitate the 
improvement of Wikimedia content by the Wikimedia communities, all with 
a strong focus on Wikidata.


One deeply satisfying thing for me is that the goals of my new role and 
the goals of the communities are so well aligned: it is really about 
improving the coverage and quality of the content, and about pushing the 
projects closer towards letting everyone share in the sum of all knowledge.


Expect to see more from me again - there are already a number of fun 
ideas in the pipeline, and I am looking forward to see them get out of 
the gates! I am looking forward to hearing your ideas and suggestions, 
and to continue contributing to the Wikimedia goals.


Cheers,
Denny

P.S.: Which also means, incidentally, that my 20% time is opening for 
new shenanigans [3].

Dear Sir,
I thank you for your answer. I did not issue a preprint online because the 
editorial board of the journal advises me not to do that before the paper is 
published by the journal. I will publish the preprint where the paper is issued 
by the journal. This will happen within two weeks. However, I can send you the 
preprint of the work if you need it.

Dear Sir,
I thank you for your efforts. I was honoured to see your recent return to 
Wikidata mailing list. Your contributions were important for the Wikidata 
community to develop the project. Concerning the paper we began to write in 
2016 about Medical Wikidata but has been interrupted due to many important 
reasons, I am honoured to inform you that it was accepted for publication in 
Journal of Biomedical Informatics and will be issued online within two weeks.

Re: [Wikidata] Personal news: a new role

[Denny Vrandečić]

I wouldn't know if this is the first time, particularly because I am not
sure how to describe it. Google is contributing a lot to all kind of
efforts, many of them open, as you know, so, in short, it depends on your
definition :)

My position is located in Google AI (i.e. Google Research), not the Open
Source office. But I plan to publish more code forthgoing, so I will
continue to work with them.

 Hello all,

 Over the last few years, more and more research teams all around the
 world have started to use Wikidata. Wikidata is becoming a fundamental
 resource [1]. That is also true for research at Google. One advantage of
 using Wikidata as a research resource is that it is available to everyone.
 Results can be reproduced and validated externally. Yay!

 I had used my 20% time to support such teams. The requests became more
 frequent, and now I am moving to a new role in Google Research, akin to a
 Wikimedian in Residence [2]: my role is to promote understanding of the
 Wikimedia projects within Google, work with Googlers to share more
 resources with the Wikimedia communities, and to facilitate the improvement
 of Wikimedia content by the Wikimedia communities, all with a strong focus
 on Wikidata.

 One deeply satisfying thing for me is that the goals of my new role and
 the goals of the communities are so well aligned: it is really about
 improving the coverage and quality of the content, and about pushing the
 projects closer towards letting everyone share in the sum of all knowledge.

 Expect to see more from me again - there are already a number of fun
 ideas in the pipeline, and I am looking forward to see them get out of the
 gates! I am looking forward to hearing your ideas and suggestions, and to
 continue contributing to the Wikimedia goals.

 Cheers,
 Denny

That is such great news, Danny!

This is rather fantastic news for all the communities of Linked Data around
the world.
Glad its finally happening now and seeing Google seeing value well
