Hi Yusra,
There are different issues applicable here. If the reactomeID property
is used in an incorrect context it needs to be created, which means either
deleted or updated. I am not sure if looking at the bot alone is
sufficient, since others might create wikidata items to reflect a Reactome
record, which can then be incorporated in next bot runs.
A possible solution is to rely on a combination of SPARQL [1] and
EntitySchema [2]. In the past, I work with the Reactome team to align
Reactome with Wikidata. The EntitySchema was created based on the data from
that collaboration.
The workflow that can be used is to use SPARQL to find those wikidata items
that are coming from Reactome (by looking at the reference). Align those
items with the EntitySchema and correct inconsistencies with that schema.
Then look at the wikidata items that have a Reactome property, but lack the
reference to Reactome and fix accordingly. If that statement is incorrect
but has a proper reference, this is something that needs to be looked at.
It might be that the issue is caused outside of Wikidata and needs to be
dealt with at the primary source, otherwise, the incorrect use of Reactome
ID will persist. If there is a reactome ID content comes without reference,
then it is safe to simply delete that statement as curation step.
I hope this help
Cheers,
Andra
