Annotation tool that extracts statements from books and feed them on Wikidata
Wikidata is a free knowledge base that can be read and edited by humans and
machines alike. If you understand the difference between plain text and data
you will understand that this project is Wikipedia's Game-changer. The
conversion from text to Wikidata content fields has started in Wikipedia and
sister projects and continues diving deeper, but there is still a lot to do!
Now think about this: you are at home, reading and studying for pleasiure, or
an assignment, or for your PhD thesis. When you study, you engage with the
text, and you often annotate and take notes. What about a tool that would let
you share important quotes and statements to Wikidata?
A statement in Wikidata is often a simple subject - predicate - object, plus a
source. Many, many facts, in the books you read, can be represented in this
structure. We an think of a way to share them.
A client-side browser plugin or script or app that would take some highlighted
text, offering you a GUI to fix up the statement and source, and then feed it
into Wikidata.
We could unveil a brand-new world of sharing and collaborating, directly from
you reading.
Possible projects:
Pundit. http://www.thepund.it/ (the team is aware of Wikidata and willing
to collaborate).
